Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a very clear understanding of the steps to follow if they have a concern about children's safety or well-being. The manager ensure that staff's knowledge of child protection procedures meet high standards. For example, she regularly sets challenging tests for staff to refresh and update their understanding of all aspects of safeguarding. The procedures to promote a high quality of teaching and to manage staff's performance are strong and based on reliable and incisive first-hand knowledge. Staff take advantage of a wide range of training opportunities, sometimes in collaboration with other early years settings. The manager encourages staff and parents to express their views and involves them very well in future improvements. This has contributed, for example, to developments to the structure of the learning environment and support for children with special educational

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have high expectations overall and a thorough understanding of the needs of the age group of children in their care. Staff work closely with other professionals, such as language and communication support staff, to help children make strong progress from their individual starting points. Children are encouraged to try new experiences and express their pleasure and enjoyment. For example, staff create a range of activities for children to experience the different tastes, smells and textures of limes and lemons. They support the development of children's physical skills well. For example, they provide a range of tubes and slopes for children to try holding and controlling different sized balls and toy vehicles rolling down the slopes. Staff's friendly and supportive interaction with children helps to build their listening and attention skills well overall.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop a very positive relationship with their key person from the start of their time in the daycare. They learn to build their trust and confidence in different play situations and with people outside the immediate family. For example, they extend children's social skills through visits to care homes for the elderly and other places of interest, such as wildlife parks and beaches. Staff help children to establish good health and hygiene awareness. For example, they encourage children to keep their environment tidy and to regularly wash their hands. Children try new foods and use suitable cutlery to eat the well-prepared meals. Staff provide strong support to all children, including those who are in vulnerable circumstances, to develop their confidence and self-awareness.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

The manager closely analyses the achievement of all groups of children. Children make good progress and are well prepared for the next stage in their learning. Children develop good communication skills overall. For example, they listen carefully to stories and songs and anticipate what will happen next. Children recognise sequences of numbers and the language of shape and measure through, for example, their exciting sand and water play.
