Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Leaders act upon their thorough and effective evaluation of the setting's strengths and areas for further development. They have addressed the actions and recommendations from the previous inspection well. For example, leaders arrange regular supervision and staff meetings to offer guidance and share good practice, in order to enhance staff's skills. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders ensure all staff attend safeguarding and 'Prevent' duty training. Staff have a secure understanding of the setting's safeguarding policies and procedures. They know how to identify and report any concerns about children's safety. Leaders implement robust recruitment and vetting processes to ensure staff are suitable to work with children. They complete a thorough induction with new staff to ensure that they are familiar with the setting's routines, policies and procedures, and that they are capable of implementing their responsibilities effectively.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide effective opportunities for babies to explore freely with natural and sensory resources. Babies are happy and they show great interest during their play. They learn to grasp and handle different tools and materials successfully. For example, they learn to use a large brush to paint and they use their hands and feet to make prints. Staff support older children to develop their literacy and mathematical skills very effectively. For example, older children recognise their own written name and they begin to write some letters in their name. They learn to recognise numbers and they use large blocks to add and subtract. Toddlers willingly sing along to nursery rhymes and they keenly listen to stories. Toddlers enjoy role-play activities and they learn to pretend and use different items appropriately.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children's emotional well-being effectively. They are sensitive to their individual needs and they offer appropriate support and reassurance. Babies show a real sense of belonging and they know when to seek support from staff. Staff ensure the layout of the room allows children to move around safely and it creates a positive environment for them. Children enjoy the wide range of resources and activities on offer. They learn to manage their own play and they develop their independence very well. Staff provide ongoing praise and encouragement to ensure children know that they are doing well and to encourage them to persevere at difficult tasks. Children behave well. They develop close relationships with staff and meaningful friendships with other children. For example, older children play cooperatively with their friends and they learn to wait for their turn patiently.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Babies develop good mobility, coordination and movement. Toddlers develop their independence and confidence well. They willingly help staff to do small tasks, such as setting the table for lunch. Older children develop their creative and imaginative skills, and they learn to express their own ideas very well. They communicate and retell past stories effectively. Children make good progress and they develop the skills required to help them move on to the next stage in their learning.
