p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The leadership team uses robust vetting checks and induction processes to help ensure that all staff are suitable for their roles. Staff demonstrate a good knowledge of safeguarding procedures and know how to keep children safe. The management team and staff check the progress of individual children and provide good support to help children catch up. The manager supervises staff regularly and gives them clear guidance to help them further develop their skills. Staff use regular training to keep up to date with new developments to benefit children's learning. They work well with providers when the time comes for the children to move on. The management team and staff act on the views of parents, children and others to continuously improve their service. Parents are delighted with the good progress their children make.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gain relevant information from parents about what their children know, can do and need to learn next. They use this information along with their ongoing observations to assess children's learning and to plan for next steps. Staff explain activities well to children and play with them. Children keenly try new experiences. Babies and young children love to experiment with the different-coloured paints and to observe how colours change when they mix. Older children build their favourite models purposefully. Staff hold discussions with children and support their language development effectively. Children learn new rhymes and vocabularies and use them well in their play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are excellent role models for the children. For example, they use praise and encouragement that boost children's confidence and self-esteem. Children learn to share toys fairly, take turns and respect the feelings of others. They help to tidy-up toys without a reminder and offer a helping hand to their friends. Staff help children develop excellent healthy attitude and meet their dietary requirements carefully. For example, children learn to serve themselves and understand that healthy food helps them grow and develop. They learn to use real cutlery and develop very good skills to manage tools safely. Children develop very good knowledge of their own cultures and learn about the wider world around them. This helps them to be tolerant of others. Staff ensure that resources are good quality and enhance children's learning.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and any gaps in learning are closing. Babies learn to socialise with others. Children listen attentively and respond carefully to instructions. Older children confidently manoeuvre role-play cars and climb the apparatus safely. Children enjoy books and learn about the life cycle of a frog.
