She has suitable routines in place for ensuring staff's ongoing suitability. Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff understand their role to protect children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff complete regular observations and assessments of children's learning. They use this information successfully to plan activities and experiences that fully engage children in learning. The manager ensures that staff have good opportunities to enhance their professional skills and qualifications. Staff use what they learn from training well. For example, they gain a greater understanding of how boys prefer to learn. Staff use this information to help boys to engage even more in activities. Staff use additional funding effectively. For instance, they provide one-to-one support and specialised resources to help to meet the individual needs of children.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children learn about the importance of a healthy diet and regular exercise. For instance, younger children enjoy participating in physical activities outside. Staff encourage them to place their hands on their chest to feel their hearts beating. They remind children to drink water to rehydrate after strenuous exercise. Staff provide healthy snacks and home-cooked meals that children enjoy. Babies and younger children feed themselves independently. Older children self-serve at mealtimes and help to clear the table after lunch. This helps them to gain a sense of responsibility.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident to engage in new social interactions, showing that they feel safe and secure. Older children explore technology. For example, they use a large tablet computer and show a good awareness of how things work. They are motivated to learn and exclaim, 'This is fantastic'. Younger children develop good imaginative skills, demonstrated when they engage in pretending to make cakes for visitors to eat. Babies develop good physical skills, such as when they learn to stand with support. They use their keen investigative skills, for instance when they explore new textures and materials. All children are prepared well for future learning and school.
