Little Learners

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Staff make good use of their qualifications and work very well with a wide range of other professionals in the best interest of children.

This helps to ensure that children's emotional well-being is fully promoted and they are supported to make good progress. • Children learn how to keep themselves safe. Staff demonstrate how to use scissors correctly as they cut dough.

They use descriptive language as they talk to children about how they are 'snipping' the dough. Older children show sustained concentration as they carefully manipulate a pair of scissors, working out how to gain control before successfully cutting into the dough. • All children, ...including those who speak English as an additional language, are supported well to learn how to communicate.

Staff model language, speaking very clearly to children. They also give them plenty of time to think through what they would like to say before replying. Staff use simple gestures and correctly repeat words that children have mispronounced.

• Parents report that staff are very supportive towards the whole family. They describe staff as 'fabulous' and 'amazing'. Parents talk about how they are provided with information about their child's progress and future learning through an online system and discussion with staff.

• Since the last inspection, systems have been implemented to ensure that Ofsted is notified about changes to the nominated individual. This further promotes children's safety and welfare. • Staff do not always make the most effective use of assessments to ensure that children are consistently provided with challenge that helps them to make better than good progress.

• Staff do not always recognise the opportunities that arise during children's play to build on their understanding and learning of early mathematics.
