“Children build good relationships with key staff, which helps them to feel safe and secure. Staff have a good knowledge of children’s home routines, which helps them to meet their individual needs.”

“The manager and her staff team have effective systems in place to observe, assess and monitor children’s progress. They use their knowledge of each child and their interests to plan purposeful activities that suit their developmental needs well. Staff successfully teach children how to play together and develop their imaginations.”

“Safeguarding is effective. All staff are clear about the signs that would raise their concerns about a child’s welfare.”

“Children enjoy their time at Horizon Childcare. They have fun playing alongside each other in the well-resourced play areas.”

“Staff are very caring towards children. They are responsive to babies’ needs, for example, quickly recognising when they need a sleep or a cuddle. This helps children to feel settled and secure.”
