This provision is good

n Staff offer a welcoming and nurturing learning environment. Children settle well, make friends and play together in harmony. They are polite and their behaviour is generally good. n Staff are sensitive to the needs of all children, including those who have speech and language difficulties.

They are well prepared for the next stages in their learning, including the move on to school. n Staff work well with parents and keep them well informed about their children's learning and development. They involve parents in planning the next steps in their children's learning. n Staff work well with providers and outside professionals to help ensure that children receive the appropriate support they need to learn and develop. n Managers assess and evaluate the quality of the provision, to help ensure good consistency in supporting children's learning and care effectively.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider undertakes the required vetting checks on all staff to ensure their suitability to work with children. Staff demonstrate good knowledge of safeguarding practice and know what to do if they have any welfare concerns about a child in their care. Managers and staff check the progress of each child. When they spot gaps in children's learning, staff provide good support to help individual children achieve well. Managers supervise staff and offer them clear guidance to help them further develop their teaching. Staff have good opportunities to access training, which has a good impact on their work with the children. Managers and staff act on the views and comments of parents and others, which helps them to highlight strengths and to target improvements.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff obtain relevant information from parents to establish what their children know and can do. They use this information, along with their ongoing observations, to provide stimulating activities to enthuse children to learn. Staff introduce new activities to children and play with them. Children are interested in play and use their imaginations well. For example, young children keenly explore resources to find out how things work. Older children use a range of tools and purposefully build their favourite models. They can mould, roll and cut play dough into different shapes. Children enjoy songs and rhymes, and listen attentively to instructions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff talk to children in a calm manner and support their social and emotional skills to good effect. For example, they remind children to say 'please' and 'thank you'. Children learn to share toys fairly, take turns and respect the feelings of others. Staff help children to adopt healthy lifestyles and meet their dietary requirements carefully. For instance, children know that eating fruit is good for them. They understand that they need to wash their hands before eating to reduce the risk of infection. Children enjoy outdoor play and physical exercise. For example, young children can push wheeled toys safely. Older children are agile on the climbing frame. Staff conduct regular checks on the premises to help children remain safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Individual children make good progress and any gaps in their learning are closing. Young children become used to routines and get on well with others. Older children recognise some letters and sounds and are beginning to write their names unaided. They can count, sort and match objects. Children are beginning to understand that some plants can be weeds.
