Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Leaders and staff welcome the views of others, such as parents, to help them evaluate and develop the setting's practices. For instance, the setting has recently made changes to the food provided, following feedback from parents, to help broaden the range of food offered to children. Leaders monitor staff's skills well, such as through regular supervisions. Staff have good opportunities to develop their skills, such as through online training and through sharing ideas for children's activities with each other during meetings. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders understand their responsibility to protect children and implement clear policies and procedures to ensure their welfare. Staff know how to recognise and report any signs that indicate a child may be at risk of harm.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy staff's interactions with them and are happy at the setting. They have good opportunities to build on their relationships with others, such as through group time discussions, and develop their confidence levels and social skills effectively. Children have good opportunities to develop their understanding of the world. For instance, staff talk to children as they explore toy animals to help them learn about the nature and wildlife and support their conversational skills effectively. Overall, staff plan some good activities that interest children and encourage them to join in. Children concentrate well on activities they choose to engage in. For example, they enjoy using tools, such as stencils and scissors, to make a board game and focus well as they practise their physical skills. Staff communicate well with parents. They regularly share information with parents about the activities they have done with their child to help keep parents

p.3

For example, children have opportunities to run and move in different ways outside, to help develop their awareness of space. They also enjoy using climbing equipment outdoors and develop their physical skills and balance well. Staff successfully support children to develop an understanding of good hygiene practices. For instance, they teach them to wash their hands before they eat. Children behave well. Staff share their expectations with children, such as through reminders, to help them learn what acceptable behaviour is. Staff effectively assess risks in all areas that children use, to identify and remove any hazards.
