p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff know what to do in the event of a safeguarding issue. They confidently recognise the signs that indicate children are at potential risk of harm, including female genital mutilation, and know where to report concerns. Staff promote British values and help children to develop respect and tolerance towards others. The manager and director have experience in the field of 'applied behaviour analysis' and work closely with the children and are aware their individual needs. They continuously evaluate their practice to ensure the best outcome for each child. Parental partnerships are very good. Parents are kept informed about their child's learning daily; they can request home visits and receive in-home training. Recruitment and induction are secure.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff work well together. The children are continuously assessed and observed to ensure that accurate targets are set for their individual needs. Ongoing supervision and team meetings for each child take place at least twice a month. Consultants ensure staff implement targets and monitor the child's progress. Teaching and play is focused on the child's interests. For example, animal stickers are used to help promote fine-motor skills, because a child likes animals. Through play, children are developing mathematical skills as they are often encouraged to count. For example, an older child counted eight animals he was playing with. Staff often use open-ended questions to encourage children to think and to help with their communication skills. They focus exceptionally well on supporting the next steps in children's learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have good and secure relationships with staff. They feel safe in their environment. Staff collect the children at the drop-off point and liaise with the parents about the child's current mood and make sure there is a thorough handover at the end of the session. Children benefit from regular opportunities to play and learn outside, which allows for the them to have fresh air and exercise. Children are encouraged to learn how to take risks and explore in a safe but not restrictive environment. Water is always available to children. Staff are good role models for children and are consistent in their approach to learning. They promote positive behaviour, modelling what is expected and offering timely praise and reinforcement. Children are never left unsupervised and have a one-to-one ratio at all times.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make very good progress from their starting points. Staff aim for children to be able to integrate into mainstream school with their ongoing support. Children are taught and encouraged to be independent, including by using the potty or toilet, washing their hands before eating and after toileting, and brushing their hair and teeth. Many children go on to achieve well at school.
