This provision is good

n Sometimes, staff do not make the most of opportunities that arise to challenge older and most-able children sufficiently, to help them make even better progress. n Although, staff benefit from a range of regular training experiences, staff supervision does not yet focus precisely enough on staff's individual development needs to raise the quality of teaching to the highest level.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff demonstrate a good awareness of safeguarding and wider child protection issues. They are secure in their knowledge of how to identify and report concerns to protect children from harm. Staff use procedures, including risk assessment, to keep children safe. Leaders implement robust procedures to verify the ongoing suitability of staff. Overall, leaders have successfully created a culture of self-reflection and evaluation. They continually seek feedback from parents, children and staff to form their future action plans. Staff have developed good relationships with parents and a range of external agencies to help them support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff carry out regular observations of children during play and use these to identify their next steps in learning. They provide a wide range of activities that are of interest to the children and promote their learning. For example, staff provide plenty of sensory and natural materials. They encourage toddlers to enjoy touching, feeling and tasting the dry oats, experimenting and investigating using all their senses. Older children enjoy bathing and painting dinosaurs and animals. Staff play alongside the children and encourage them to create their own imaginative stories. They use mathematical language to help children learn about different sizes. Staff support children's communication skills very well, such as using new words for the children to help extend their language development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The outdoor area reflects an enabling environment, providing rich opportunities for learning. Children have regular opportunities to play outside in the fresh air and to exercise. Babies and newly mobile children are encouraged to develop their physical dexterity to help them become even more independent explorers. Children benefit from regular trips and outings that allow them to explore the surrounding area and learn more about the world around them. They are provided with freshly prepared meals that adhere to their dietary requirements. Older children engage in discussions with staff about healthy choices. Staff minimise the risk of cross-infection effectively and follow hygiene procedures consistently. Staff implement effective risk assessments to help minimise risks to children. This helps to ensure their safety and welfare as they play.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children progress well, given their individual starting points and capabilities. They are well behaved for their age. Children receive a range of opportunities to help prepare them for the next stages in their learning and for school. For example, older children independently socialise with their peers and confidently count out loud when playing games. They learn to write their names and use writing tools with good control. Babies babble happily while they play, and toddlers sing songs and sort items as they tidy away.
