Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider undertakes the required vetting checks on all staff to ensure their suitability to work with the children. Managers ensure that staff attend regular safeguarding training. Staff develop a good understanding of child protection issues and know how to keep children safe in their care. Managers and staff check the progress of each child. When they spot gaps in children's learning staff provide good support to help individual children to catch up. Staff work well with providers and relevant agencies to help children receive the support they need. Managers observe staff and offer them specific feedback to widen their skills. Managers and staff take into account the comments and suggestions of parents, children and others, which help them to highlight strengths and to target improvements.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff collate relevant information from parents to establish their children's starting points. They use this information along with their ongoing observations to support children's learning effectively. Staff explain activities well to children and encourage them to cooperate with others. Children engage well in play. For example, younger children can roll, mould and cut play dough into shapes of a caterpillar. Older children are able to count a set of wooden blocks and match with corresponding numerals. Children eagerly use a range of collage resources to create imaginative pictures. Staff read stories to children. Children can talk about their favourite pictures. They learn new vocabularies and use them well in their play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff talk to children in a calm and gentle way. They encourage children, for example, to use a sand timer to take turns on toys. Children learn to share and consider the views of others. Children develop good knowledge about personal hygiene routines and help to tidy up resources after play. Staff provide regular opportunities for children to have fresh air and exercise outdoors. For example, younger children can climb on apparatus safely. Older children are confident to walk using stilts. Staff conduct regular checks on the premises and resources, to help children remain safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and develop a good range of skills in readiness for school. Younger children love to play with shaving foam, exploring the texture and smell. Children listen carefully and respond well to instructions. Older children know letters and sounds and can write words such as their names correctly. Children are aware of the changes that happen to the weather around them.
