Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager implements a robust safeguarding policy and procedures. She demonstrates a secure understanding of the necessary procedures to follow should a concern arise about a child's welfare. The staff complete regular child protection training. This helps them to keep up to date with current issues which may impact a child. Staff confidently recognise issues which would cause them concern about a child's well-being. The manager has effective procedures in place which help to ensure all those who have access to children are suitable. The manager completes thorough risk assessments to ensure children's daily experiences are safe and any risks or hazards are minimised.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The manager plans interesting activities for children to learn about different festivals and celebrations. Children talk about friends and family members who are special to them. They use creative craft materials to make cards which represent the celebration of love and friendship. Children delight in the praise they receive from staff when they show them the cards they have made. Children learn about different families as they discuss who lives at home with them. Staff are considerate towards children's emotional well- being. They support children to complete their homework from school. For example, children read stories and staff sensitively help them to sound out unfamiliar words. Staff are nurturing and caring in their approach. They are patient and take their time to explain things. Children are confident and demonstrate high levels of self-esteem.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children access a range of fun experiences during the school holidays and have opportunities to explore their immediate and extended communities. For example, they take trains and buses to access education centres and museums. Children take walks in the local area and visit parks, woodlands and nature reserves. This helps to further develop their social skills. Children learn about the benefits of making healthy food choices. Staff prepare a range of healthy meals and snacks. Children have access to self- service fruit and water throughout the session and know to wash their hands before they eat. They are independent and develop good self-care skills as they help to tidy away play resources and wash tables in preparation for mealtimes.
