The provision is good

Children arrive happily and confidently separate from their parents. Staff greet children warmly, making them all feel welcome. Children quickly settle and explore the good range of activities available. They enjoy movement sessions, suggesting the number of hops and star jumps they need to do to stretch their bodies. Staff are kind and considerate. They respond well to children's individual needs, encouraging independence but offering assistance, praise and reassurance as required. Staff carefully monitor children's developmental progress. They plan activities to encourage individual interests and meet developmental needs. As a result, children are motivated to explore, participate and develop their curiosity. They make good developmental progress. Staff have clear behavioural expectations and are positive role models. Children are learning to take turns, share and show kindness and consideration to others. Staff model language clearly and teach sign

n The management team supervises staff effectively. Staff receive regular supervision and an annual appraisal. They are encouraged to build on their knowledge and skills through ongoing training. This has a positive impact on the quality of teaching. n Staff promote children's communication skills effectively, including for those with English as an additional language. They value children's first language and encourage English-speaking skills. They have dual language books and learn how to pronounce relevant words in the child's language to aid understanding. They translate information for parents. n Staff develop strong effective partnerships with parents. Information is shared in a variety of ways enabling parents to be well informed about their child's activities and progress. They share ideas to encourage their next steps in learning and provide resources to encourage development at home. n Children demonstrate their increasing coordination and balance as they use the

outdoor play equipment. They cooperate with others as they use the see-saw and clearly delight in the opportunity to run freely. n Staff encourage children's awareness of a healthy lifestyle.

11 November 2019 n The management team is ambitious and reflective. They continually reflect and implement plans to improve. They seek the views of parents and professionals and use tools to assist in their evaluation of the service they offer. As a result, the setting constantly evolves, improves and meets the needs of those attending. n Staff encourage children to demonstrate their increasing mathematical knowledge in practical ways, for example, as children help to lay the table for snack. They count how many children are present, then ensure they have enough chairs and plates around the table for them. n Children listen to stories, encouraging their imaginations and an awareness of the written word. They demonstrate early writing skills and an awareness of how to use technology. For example, children explain how to use the electronic writing pad that lights up and show skill at driving the remote-control car around

the playroom. n Staff provide children with a broad variety of activities that interest and encourage their skills. However, the space is limited and sometimes there are too many resources in a small area to enable the children to benefit fully from the learning opportunities they provide. n Careful observation and monitoring help to ensure that children's interests are followed and their skills are developed. However, sometimes staff miss opportunities to engage the younger children fully and adapt to their learning needs as effectively as they do for older children.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The management team and staff are knowledgeable about child protection issues. They can describe the potential signs and symptoms of abuse, neglect or radicalisation. They know the procedures they must follow to report any concerns to relevant agencies. Managers ensure all staff attend regular safeguarding training and frequently test staff's safeguarding knowledge. Procedures for recruitment and to check ongoing suitability are thorough. Comprehensive risk assessing and risk management is a daily ongoing process. Regular fire drills help to ensure staff and children know the procedures to follow in an emergency.
