This provision is good

n Children have plenty of space to play outside. The premises are well organised with areas for physical play and quieter areas to sit and play in the shade. n Activities are on offer throughout the day so that children have ample time to participate in them. n Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported to join activities with other children. n There is a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Staff give children plenty of praise and encouragement. n Children keep fit and enjoy playing with their friends as they run around the field playing team sports. n Staff actively challenge gender stereotyping and ensure all children feel valued and included. For example, when children comment that football is only for boys, the sports coach challenges this and emphasises the skills of the girls in the group during the game. n Staff do not always support children well enough to understand how to stay safe. They

do not consistently give children explanations as to why some actions are unsafe. For example, staff tell children to sit down when they are eating but do not explain why this is important. n Some children occasionally have difficulty accessing activities when they are organised on adult-sized tables. n Robust systems are in place to monitor the safety of the setting. Regular fire drills are undertaken and records of accidents are analysed for any emerging patterns.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff know the signs that may indicate a child is at risk of harm and know what action to take. Robust vetting procedures ensure staff are suitable to work with children. Staff are well prepared for their roles. They participate in a systematic induction programme followed by regular supervisions and appraisals to help them develop their practice. The manager accurately evaluates the quality of provision, ensuring the setting continually improves. Staff work well as a team and are quick to step in and support each other when needed. Parents receive detailed information about the setting and children's daily activities. They are given an extensive information book which outlines the setting's policies and procedures, the schedule of activities, planned outings and the menu. Key infomation, such as photographs of the staff team, is displayed on the door, along with their specific roles, training and qualifications.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know children well and plan activities that interest and engage them. For example, staff organise a bug hunt in the garden which keeps children busy for most of the morning. Children share their excitement at finding a hedgehog in the undergrowth with everyone in the setting. Children enjoy a range of sports activities throughout the day led by a specialist sports coach. The coach shows them a variety of techniques, such as how to kick a football accurately and how to pass a volleyball. Staff are careful to make sure that all children are continually involved in activities. When they notice a child is not engaged, they quickly support them to join in activities alongside other children. Children of all ages play well together. Older children frequently help younger children. For example, they assist them to cut up their food at lunchtime.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and secure. They quickly form close friendships. Children play together in groups and sit together at lunchtime. They behave well and respond positively to the guidance given by staff. Staff teach children strategies to support them in sharing and cooperating with each other. For example, they help children to make a waiting list to support them in taking turns at the computer. Children are well supported to stay healthy. Staff remind them to wash their hands regularly. For example, after handling bugs outside and before lunch. Staff encourage children to take regular drinks. Fresh drinking water is freely available both outside and inside.
