p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider undertakes the required vetting checks on all staff to ensure that they are suitable to work with the children. Staff have a good knowledge of safeguarding practice and know how to protect children in their care. For example, they conduct daily checks on the premises and resources to keep children safe. The manager and staff check the progress of individual children effectively. When they spot gaps in children's learning, they provide good support to help children achieve well. The manager observes staff regularly and offers them constructive feedback to strengthen their skills and how to further support the learning of specific children. Staff attend courses to develop their practice. The manager and staff take into account the views and comments of parents and others to maintain a good service.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use relevant information from parents about what their children know and can do. They use this information along with their ongoing observations to provide stimulating activities to meet the needs and interests of children. Staff guide children through play and show them how to care for and use resources. Children have good attitudes to learning and use their imagination well. For example, young children explore shaving foam and learn about its texture and smell. Older children build their models purposefully and seek the views of others to improve their work. Children engage well in songs and show interest in books. Older children can suggest what might happen next in stories.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models. They show genuine care and interest during their interactions with children. Children learn to share resources fairly and to take turns in their play. Staff help children adopt healthy eating habits. For example, children enjoy healthy snacks and learn to serve themselves. They know that they need to wash their hands before eating to reduce the risk of infection. Children develop good knowledge about their own cultures and other people around them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and any gaps in learning are closing. Children listen attentively and respond well to instructions. Older children know some letters and sounds and are learning to write their names independently. They can count and learn about shapes and sizes of objects around them. They use language such as 'tall', 'short' and 'heavy' as they play. Children are fascinated to blow bubbles and make good comments on the way their shapes fly up in the air. Children are aware of the changes that happen to the weather around them. They know that they need to wear their coats before they go outside to play.
