This provision is good

n Staff focus strongly on promoting children's emotional well-being. They understand and cater well for each child's unique emotional needs. As a result, children settle quickly and form relationships with all staff that comfort and reassure them. n All children make good progress in relation to their starting points, including those in receipt of funded early education. They are energetic, excited and interested learners. n Staff provide a wide range of good-quality resources and gently encourage all children to participate in planned activities. Children take pride in working together as a team and take turns to share toys and other resources. n The management team and staff work closely together. They fully promote teamwork and appreciate each other's unique talents and skills. Staff have opportunities for regular supervision meetings and appraisals to discuss specific aspects of their practice.

This provision is good

n Members of the management team carefully evaluate their practice and develop plans to address any areas identified for improvement. They have highlighted that staff's continued professional development is not targeted as sharply as possible to help raise the overall quality of teaching to an exemplary level. n On occasions, staff do not make the most of opportunities to extend children's early writing skills. As a result, they do not always fully support children to make the best possible progress in this area of learning.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have completed a range of training that has enhanced their knowledge and awareness of safeguarding issues. They understand the procedure to follow in the event that they have concerns for a child's welfare. They are vigilant for possible hazards to children's safety. Staff identify and minimise potential risks through a process of daily risk assessment. The manager ensures that the premises are kept secure at all times. This helps to keep children safe while attending the setting. Staff work closely with specialist agencies when required to help children meet their full potential. They monitor children's progress carefully and exchange information with parents. This joint approach helps children benefit from consistent teaching and care practices. Parents contribute to the self-evaluation of the setting. They fully support the setting and speak highly of the service they receive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The well-qualified staff are welcoming, animated and enthusiastic in their manner towards children. They motivate children to think deeply about their learning and help them to understand as they demonstrate and explain. Staff know when to stand back and give children time to investigate and explore. For example, children use tools to dig in a patch of soil. They search for bugs and use magnifying glasses to investigate in detail. Children practise counting in sequence when they count how old they are using their fingers. They help staff complete a head count on their return from outside play. Staff quietly and calmly read to children when they select their favourite storybooks. Children have great fun as they confidently express themselves during a planned activity that incorporates musical instruments. They whoop with excitement and clap enthusiastically to the rhythm of nursery rhymes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy daily opportunities to practise their physical skills. They eagerly use the sit-and-ride cars and balance bikes and squirt water pistols. Children are offered healthy snacks to eat and fresh water to drink. Staff are effective role models and children's behaviour is good. The key-person approach works well and helps children to settle quickly on entry to the setting. Staff are receptive to children's interests and ideas, which helps promote their self-esteem. Young children's care needs are swiftly attended to, for example during nappy changes.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children thrive in the welcoming, busy environment. They are well prepared for the next stages in their learning. They are busy and motivated learners who eagerly anticipate daily routines. Children learn to take turns and play cooperatively. They are affectionate towards each other and make decisions as a group. Their individual personalities are evident and they demonstrate positive attitudes to learning. Children clearly feel safe and are very industrious and happy during their time spent at the setting.
