p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff demonstrate a clear understanding of their responsibilities to record, monitor and report any concerns about a child's welfare. The manager has efficient systems and procedures in place to ensure her practice is effective. Relevant training and regular supervision support staff to provide exciting new initiatives and challenging experiences for children. The manager uses sound vetting and recruitment practices to verify and monitor the ongoing suitability of staff. The manager and staff are reflective in their practice and value the views of parents and children. The manager has focused on improving staff professional development to enable improved outcomes for children. For example, exciting new initiatives are underway to support children's personal, social and emotional development and communication and language in the outdoor area.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff respond enthusiastically to children's interests and support children's good engagement and curiosity in their learning. Staff provide good opportunities for children to develop their communication, language and mathematical skills. Younger children enjoy joining in actions for rhymes and songs they sing. Older children listen as staff introduce mathematical language such as 'full', 'heavy', 'fast' and 'slow' when experimenting with water and different sizes and shapes of watering cans. Staff support children's language skills as they introduce new words as the children make play dough. Children engage in story time as staff enthusiastically read stories and encourage children to join in repeated phrases and anticipate what will happen next.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models and children behave well. A strong key-person system helps children to feel safe and secure and supports them to be emotionally well prepared for the next stage of their learning, including school. Children demonstrate respect for each other by listening, being kind and sharing toys and equipment. Partnership with parents is strong. Children enjoy being physically active as they play outside daily in the large, well-resourced garden. Staff give children a clear message about the importance of a healthy diet. Children begin to understand the benefits of eating healthily as they talk about and recognise healthy food at lunch time.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make typical progress from their starting points, including those in receipt of additional funding, those who have English as an additional language and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They develop good social skills. For example, they share resources and take turns during a game of throwing a ball at targets. Children learn to manage their self-care. They learn to use the toilet and wash their hands independently. Children ask for assistance as required. Children gain the necessary skills to prepare them for future learning, including starting school.
