Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The management team are experienced, knowledgeable and organised. They monitor the progress children make. Any gaps in learning and development are quickly identified and children swiftly receive any additional support they may need. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of their duty to safeguard children and they understand child protection referral steps well. Robust recruitment processes help to ensure staff working with children are suitable to do so. The manager uses feedback from staff and parents to drive changes and improve the provision for the children. Clear and concise action plans have been implemented to achieve and maintain good standards.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a welcoming and happy environment for children to learn and play in. They organise a range of interesting play experiences suited to the age and stage of children's development. Staff encourage children to explore. For example, young children investigate textures, such as sand and cereals. Young children listen attentively to stories. They are also fascinated by puppets used to join in with songs and rhymes. Older children become involved in using play dough, adding different tools to make patterns and shapes. Pre-school children use technology to learn about letter sounds, play matching games and make marks. Staff keep parents well informed about their children's progress and effectively encourage them to be involved in continuing their children's learning at home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff promote children's well-being effectively. For example, they ensure the provision is clean and that hygiene routines are maintained to minimise the risk of infection. Staff provide all children with daily opportunities to play outside, where they enjoy playing and exploring in the fresh air. Staff encourage children to be as independent as possible. For example, children find and put on their coats and pour their own drinks. Children are confident in the setting. They settle quickly on arrival, seeking out their friends or a member of staff if needed. Children relish the responsibility of tasks, such as helping to tidy away and to wash up. Parents receive daily feedback from staff so that they are aware of what their children have done during the day.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and are working at typical levels of development for their age. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well. Staff provide them with individually tailored support and develop effective partnerships with a range of other professionals. Children are keen and enthusiastic learners. Children develop literacy and mathematical skills. They can identify letters from their own name and confidently write and use numbers. Children develop the key skills they need in readiness for school or the next stage in their learning.
