They seek early intervention and involve external agencies to ensure children receive targeted support to help them catch up with their peers. n Occasionally, staff do not encourage children to follow good hygiene routines or provide enough opportunities for children to increase their understanding of the importance of making healthy choices. n Partnerships with some of the schools that children will attend are not as effective as others in helping to prepare children for moving on to school.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Managers and staff know how to recognise the possible signs and symptoms of abuse and who to contact if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. Leaders proactively monitor performance and provide regular support and coaching to help staff to fully understand their joint and individual roles and responsibilities. Staff attend training courses and complete research. They share their increased knowledge with their colleagues to help drive improvements and enhance the quality of the provision.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have worked hard to implement and embed effective systems to fully support children's learning. They successfully observe and assess each child and plan activities and experiences which are carefully matched to their needs, interests and stages of development. Staff exchange information regularly with parents about how their child is progressing and how their learning can be supported at home. They skilfully interact with children, adapting their approach for individuals and groups of children. Staff know when to follow children's interests and promote them well. They enthusiastically talk to children and engage them in their play. Pre-schoolers enjoy taking turns to count as their friends hide objects around the room for them to find. Toddlers are captivated in well- planned adult-led experiences. They listen intently to favourite stories, recall familiar parts and recreate the characters using a range of innovative resources, making the

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff carry out detailed risk assessments and regular safety checks of the environment and activities. Children's safety and welfare are fostered well. Staff gather key information from parents about individual care routines and needs. Babies benefit from forming close bonds with attentive staff. They enjoy cuddles and comfort when needed and show their delight as staff respond to their babbles. Staff are good role models. Children receive plenty of praise and 'high-fives' for efforts and achievements. They respond well to gentle reminders and clear boundaries, are respectful and behave well. Staff focus on ensuring that transitions for children are as smooth as possible. There are lots of opportunities for children to play and eat together, getting to know one another and all the staff before moving into the next group. Children benefit from plenty of fresh air and exercise each day, choosing and moving between activities inside and outdoors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making good progress from their starting points and develop key skills needed, in readiness for their future leaning. They learn to communicate their needs and thoughts and are becoming confident and independent. Babies use simple words and gestures to show what they want to do next. Toddlers are developing self-care skills, helping to put their sun cream on and having a go at putting on their shoes to go outside. Pre-schoolers are increasingly aware of safety and show care and consideration to others. They remind one another to blow or stir the custard to cool it down before eating.
