This provision is good

 The quality of teaching is good. Staff have a firm understanding of how children learn and develop. This enables all children to make good progress in their development based upon their starting points.  Staff fully include parents and children in planning to engage children further in their learning. This enables staff to plan activities based upon children's interests and learning needs, which helps to ensure that children remain engaged and focused.  Staff have a thorough knowledge and understanding of effective safeguarding procedures. This helps to keep children safe and supports their well-being effectively.  Staff recruitment and induction are robust and supervision sessions and training are ongoing, ensuring better outcomes for children. For example, staff attended a course on outdoor learning, which has enabled them to further engage the more active children in their learning.  Activities and resources are accessible to all children reflecting an inclusive practice to

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always use a wide range of labels and signs in the outdoor area. This does not fully enhance children's awareness that print carries meaning.  Not all staff consistently ask questions that encourage children to use more than a 'yes' or 'no' response or do not always allow them enough time to respond. This does not fully enhance children's speaking skills.

who attend. This is good

Staff provide a wide range of activities to promote all areas of children's learning and development. Children have free access to a wealth of toys and equipment within the warm and inviting environment. Staff have a secure knowledge of each child's capabilities and they are skilful in knowing when to offer assistance. This fully supports children's independence skills. Staff and children share warm relationships, for example, they cuddle up to read books together. Strong partnerships with parents give greater continuity of care and allow for extending children's learning at home through newsletters and meeting up during holidays. Staff are positive role models which helps children develop good social skills, for example, manners and turn taking. Staff demonstrate the correct way to use equipment. This enables children to enhance their large and small muscle skills by cutting, sticking, running and jumping.

good

The play school is clean, bright and welcoming. Staff ensure good hygiene and care practices are effective at all times, which enhances children's well-being. Staff encourage a healthy diet with the children and they discuss how we stay healthy. This supports their skills for the future. Staff keep children safe through daily risk assessments and ensuring safety measures are put into place. Staff effectively support children through the effective key-person system. This helps children to settle quickly into the play school and helps them to feel happy and safe to learn and develop. There is a high staff to child ratio, ensuring children's safety and allowing them free access all areas of the play school. Staff share strong links with local schools and implement creative methods for older children to feel well prepared for moving on to school.

provision is good

Management analyses staff's assessments of children's development effectively in order to monitor the quality of practice and identify any areas of potential learning needs. This enables all children to make good progress in their learning. Staff are adaptable and quick to act on any problems as they arise. For example, the extension work to the building required children to access adult toilets. Staff put in safety measures and recruited more staff to cover the extra duties and to fully support children's well-being and safety. Staff use self-evaluation effectively to identify areas for improvement, such as developing the appraisals through training, in order to improve practice. Management and the parent-led committee meet regularly to set targets for improving provision for the children. This enables parents to share their views and fully supports a partnership approach to children's care and learning.
