p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff know what to do if they have a concern about a child, because of recent training in safeguarding. Staff are well supported in their professional development and effective supervision is now in place. Leaders have taken rapid action to secure change since the last inspection. They show a strong commitment to improvement and evaluate the setting accurately. They seek the views of parents, children and staff and liaise with the school to ensure children's individual needs are met. The additional needs of children are sensitively identified, to provide appropriate support.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children know and understand the routine of the sessions they attend. They settle quickly on return from school, ready to participate enthusiastically in activities with their friends. Children confidently choose the activities they want do. Children particularly enjoy art and craft and construction activities. Staff place a good focus on supporting children's language and communication and extend children's experiences from school. For example, there is a dedicated homework area, if required and children are able to continue the topics they are focusing on in school. A key-person system has strengthened partnerships with parents. Planning for activities is based on children's interests and following their leads.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children display excellent behaviour and manners. Staff model good behaviour and engage and listen to children, taking into account their likes and interests. Staff are sensitive to children's feelings and ensure children are reassured as needed. Staff are warm and caring and as a result, all children form excellent relationships with those who care for them. The relationship between older and younger children is exceptional, with the older children taking time to read and interact with the younger ones. This increases their self-esteem and boosts their confidence. Regular and meaningful praise by staff ensures children feel good about themselves. Although older children are independent and capable of everyday tasks, staff do not consistently encourage the younger children to be independent in this way. Staff promote the good health of children through everyday outdoor activities and by providing a healthy, balanced diet. Staff know the

importance of children eating appropriate 'me' sized portions. Children enjoy attending the setting and are reluctant to leave.
