who attend. This is outstanding

Staff support all children exceptionally well to make rapid progress in their learning and development. Staff attend sessions with the children such as speech and language, so they can share children's progress. It also allows them to work closely together to see what activities will work in the pre-school. Staff very successfully track children's progress. They see what areas of learning they need to concentrate on, to enable children to make excllent progress in their learning and development. Children enjoy counting and staff teach them skilfully to learn the order in which to count. Children then use this in further play, which effectively supports other children's learning and development. All the children are highly confident in their learning and settle quickly as they arrive. Staff keep activities short to maintain children's attention. This enables them to target children's future learning exceptionally well.

good

Staff enhance children's independence skills through encouraging them to help staff set up ready for snack. Although children wash their hands before any food is touched, they do not do this as they prepare the table. As a result, staff do not fully teach the importance of health and well-being. Staff promote children's physical development well through activities such as making their own snack, well-planned activities inside and the outside play. Staff set out resources well to allow children to choose what they would like to play with. Staff do not fully nurture children's self-help skills when children prepare to go home. Staff put the children's coats on. Staff work closely with the parents and other professionals to settle children in and to prepare them for the next stages of their development. This prepares children well for progressing to school.

p.3

provision is good

Staff have a clear understanding of safeguarding and keeping children safe. Regular risk assessments and fire drills take place, allowing them to keep children safe. It also allows children to be aware of what to do in an emergency. The provider and staff work together to make effective changes to the nursery. This allows them to enhance the care of the children. Robust recruitment procedures and suitability checks further enhances the safety and welfare of the children. The quality of teaching is a direct result of the support from the provider and local authority through ongoing training. Through supervisions and appraisals, the provider is able to see what further training the staff would benefit from. The provider supports staff's awareness of online safety to keep children safe. Parents benefit from the regular meetings they have with the staff. Staff share the progress children are making and what stages they are working on next to support consistency.
