This provision is good

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Since the last inspection, the manager and staff team have taken effective action and worked hard to make significant improvements. This has a positive impact on the quality of the provision to ensure children's welfare and well-being. Room leaders fully understand their roles, and lead their teams efficiently. Safeguarding is effective. The designated safeguarding leads have completed relevant training and are clear about their responsibilities. Staff have a good awareness of child protection matters and know the procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. Robust recruitment procedures are used effectively to ensure all staff are suitable to care for children. The manager observes staff regularly and offers them feedback to strengthen their skills. He identifies further training with staff to support any weaknesses, and encourages their professional development. For example, he recognises there is scope to develop staff's

understanding of how to extend children's vocabulary and thinking skills even further, and training is scheduled for this.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know the children well. They make regular observations and assessments about what children know and can do. They use this information well to plan for the next steps in children's learning. Staff provide lots of opportunities for children to take part in science experiments. These are exciting, and encourage children to think and predict what happens next. For example, children experiment with ice, watching how this gradually melts. Staff also support children's imagination and creativity. For example, children in pre-school show immense interest in mixing potions, adding different ingredients together, and comparing the colours, smell and textures. Young babies freely explore their surroundings, as they crawl or toddle around. They enjoy exploratory play. For example, they scoop up the sand, feeling the texture as it runs through their fingers. Toddlers have great fun playing in the garden, where they practise their walking skills

and move confidently around on ride-on toys.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident, behave well and are polite. They are happy to play together, and share and take turns with resources sensibly. Children are keen to follow routines and instructions, and know what is expected of them. They follow good hygiene routines and show high levels of independence in their self-care skills. For example, they are aware of hand washing before sitting down to eat their lunch. Staff work closely with other professionals to support children with SEND.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who speak English as an additional language and children with SEND, make strong progress from their different starting points. Older children learn to write as they help staff make displays and notices in their rooms. All children develop good physical and sensory skills during messy play activities and through the experiments they take part in. They learn how to transfer liquids carefully from different containers so as not to spill the contents. Children are well prepared for the next stages of learning and the move to school.
