This provision is good

n Members of the management team monitor the quality of the provision robustly. They have a precise understanding of what the setting does well and high expectations on how they can improve further. They effectively act on the views of external consultants, staff and parents to make positive improvements that benefit the families. n Staff build very successfully on what children already know and can do to extend their skills and understanding. They regularly assess children's development and effectively plan learning opportunities that support children's good progress. n Staff create an extremely inclusive environment where diversity is highly respected. Children form strong bonds with staff, who nurture children and support them to develop a strong sense of belonging. They learn about the importance of dental hygiene and enjoy an excellent range of healthy, well-balanced meals every day. n Partnerships with parents are strong. Staff support parents to build further on

children's learning at home, for example through a lending library of story and activity packs. Parents benefit from attendance at training events, such as first aid. Translation of daily information into families' home languages ensures clear exchange of care information. n The management team monitors staff practice, such as regular supervisions and observations of practice. However, these do not focus precisely enough on what staff need to do next to raise the quality of teaching to the highest level.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The dedicated manager is committed to providing high-quality learning experiences for all children. She supports her team well, for example developing their knowledge through bespoke training and furthering their qualifications. Recent improvements include enhancements to the garden areas, which have created exciting spaces for children to explore and build further on their creativity. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure knowledge of the procedure to follow when they have a concern about a child or the behaviour of another adult. Recruitment and induction procedures are effective in checking staff's initial and ongoing suitability. Monitoring of children's progress accurately identifies where children may benefit from additional support. Staff effectively use additional funding, such as early years pupil premium, to target children's specific needs and improve outcomes successfully for all children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

All staff are highly tuned into children's interests and use these well to plan activities that successfully capture children's attention. They use a good range of questioning techniques during activities and provide time for children to think and to solve their own problems. Staff successfully support babies to develop high levels of curiosity as they explore baskets of resources. Toddlers extend their mathematical knowledge as staff support them to count, compare shapes and match colours while they build a rocket together. Older children show good pencil control, confidently drawing pictures of their family members on electronic devices.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff consistently model the high expectations they have for children's behaviour and have excellent strategies in place to support children's safety. For instance, while out on a trip to a local supermarket, staff discuss with children how to remain safe. They talk about why they need to wear high-visibility vests to be seen and to 'look and listen' when crossing the road. Staff promote children's confidence and physical skills exceptionally well. For example, staff sensitively encourage babies to take their first steps and reward them with a resounding cheer as this is achieved. Older children show high levels of independence as they handle small knives safely and cut their fruit at snack time. Children develop a deep understanding of the community they belong to, for example through trips to a local care home where they enjoy craft activities with residents. They take turns with toys, listen to the views of others and manage their

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, progress well from their starting points. They are enthusiastic and active learners who enjoy participating in a wide range of learning opportunities. Children show high levels of independence for their age. They use mathematical language in their play and demonstrate a good knowledge of number. Children are helpful, follow instructions and enjoy taking responsibility. They acquire a wide range of skills in readiness for school.
