p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. For example, all staff know what to do if they have concerns about a child's welfare and are aware of possible signs and symptoms of abuse. Robust policies and procedures are in place and a thorough induction is completed to ensure all staff are aware of these. The manager carries out regular supervisions with staff and peer observations enable staff to share good practice ideas. Staff are supported in accessing training to contribute to their professional development. The environment is thoroughly assessed to identify any risks and visual checks are completed daily. Staff are well deployed, which ensures children are supervised effectively. They use equipment such as walkie-talkies to ensure children's movements and whereabouts are known at all times.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children quickly settle into routines and activities on their return from school. Staff know the children well and provide a wide range of activities, which follow children's interests. Staff encourage children to extend their physical development, freedom and movement well. For example, children enjoy playing cricket and badminton. Children demonstrate high levels of creativity and are able to engage in art and craft activities, even when outside. Children are extremely proud of the pineapples they make and excitedly show these to parents. Staff support children's communication and language skills well. They constantly talk about the children's experiences at school and at home. Children are able to sit quietly with books, as staff are aware some children want to relax and unwind.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff focus on children's emotional well-being and resilience. They ask children about their day and encourage them to talk about any worries they may have. For example, those children moving on to the next steps in their learning are encouraged to talk about their feelings about this transition. Staff model good behaviour and engage and listen to children. Children have excellent manners and there is a caring and close relationship with staff. Children enjoy sitting together and socialising during snack time. Staff talk about the importance of healthy eating and remind children not to walk around with food.
