Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff ensure that children's safety is given good priority. The premises are safe and secure, and children are well supervised. Leaders ensure that staff have a secure understanding of the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. Staff successfully help children to have a good understanding of how to keep themselves safe. For example, they remind them to wear sun hats and sun cream as it is very hot outdoors. The management team is dedicated and committed to its role. It uses many methods to evaluate the provision. For instance, leaders regularly seek the views of parents and children, to enable them to provide age-appropriate resources that fully engage and capture all children's interests. Partnerships with parents are good. Staff exchange information with them daily, so that they are fully aware of children's activities. Leaders form good links with the schools

children attend. This helps them to provide children with consistency in their care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff encourage children in their play and successfully support them to develop their skills further. For example, children play team games, such as badminton and cricket, to help develop their physical skills. They interact well with others, concentrate and understand the need to take turns and share. Children become engrossed in creative activities, such as when they design and create picture frames. All children show confidence in speaking and listening. They demonstrate this when they talk about their family pets, holidays and other things that are important to them. Children enjoy looking at and reading books. Staff use these interests to extend their understanding, such as asking them what they can see and to predict what might happen next.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's behaviour is good. Most children settle quickly to play and concentrate well on their chosen activities. Staff are sensitive to their needs. For example, staff respond promptly when children need extra reassurance and offer them suggestions on activities that they might enjoy. They are effective in teaching children to understand the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. For example, staff act as good role models, and talk to children about eating fresh fruits and drinking plenty of water. All children are encouraged to be physically active, for instance, through the many sports activities and using apparatus in the large outdoor area.
