Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Leaders review children's progress. They identify any emerging gaps in children's learning and work with key persons to implement effective planned activities to help target any development areas. This helps children make very good progress. Staff are well qualified. They attend training and look at ways to implement this into their practice. For example, they have recently attended a conference around promoting children's mental health. Staff have considered ways to make changes to the learning environment to accommodate for new and younger children starting the setting in the autumn term. They are well deployed and supervise children at all times. Staff complete daily risk assessments and identify further ways to help to promote children's safety and security. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and staff have a good understanding of local safeguarding procedures. They have implemented effective policies and understand the

procedure to follow in the event of a concern about the welfare of a child.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are motivated to learn. They explore a range of activities and resources and find out what they can do. Children pretend to bake during sand and water play and confidently talk to staff about what they are doing. They tell others that they are adding 'sugar' to their 'cakes' before mixing their potions with a paintbrush. This helps to promote children's creative skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children very regularly participate in physical activities. For instance, they use instruments and move their bodies in various ways during music and movement sessions. Staff talk to children about the effects of physical activity on their bodies. They set up challenging obstacle courses and demonstrate how to move around these. Children listen and watch intently before successfully completing this themselves. They manoeuvre around cones, jump through hoops and learn to throw balls on target. In addition, staff promote social interaction during mealtimes. They talk to children about the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle and regularly encourage good hygiene practices. Children demonstrate excellent levels of independence. They learn to choose their own plates and cutlery during mealtimes and serve themselves.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children independently gather their own resources and make decisions about what they would like to make. They work collaboratively to collect their own boxes and pens and use scissors and ribbons. Children talk about the superheroes they are making. They demonstrate very good hand-to-eye coordination as they concentrate on cutting holes in cardboard. During outdoor play, children learn to read the different numbers on buckets and correctly identify how many balls are needed for each bucket. Children learn excellent self-care skills. They learn to dress themselves ahead of physical activities. They show an interest in the skills they need to learn for their eventual move to school.
