Leadership and governance Expected standard

Leaders have established effective policies and systems to monitor and review the provision. They understand how to adapt and refine their practice to meet the needs of children and prioritise children's wellbeing and welfare. Leaders have clear routines and procedures in place and explain how they maintain a safe, organised and welcoming environment, regardless of the small number of children currently attending. They work closely with parents and gather information before children start attending. This helps them to understand children's individual needs and ensures that appropriate support is in place from the outset. Leaders collaborate with the host school and other professionals to promote consistency for any children who may attend. They understand the importance of this, particularly when supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Leaders and staff benefit from regular professional development. Effective systems are in

We carried out this inspection under sections 49 and 50 of the Childcare Act 2006 on the quality and standards of provision that is registered on the Early Years Register.

About this inspection

There were no early years children present at the time of this inspection. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with leaders and an inspection of the premises, equipment and any relevant documentation. When there are no early years children present, inspectors evaluate and grade only leadership and governance, as there is no reliable evidence from other evaluation areas through which to assess the impact on children.
