p.1

This provision is good

 Children thoroughly enjoy their time in the setting. They participate in a broad range of good-quality play opportunities, which complement their learning at school.  Staff know the children well and are enthusiastic in their approach, which helps children to feel settled and secure.  Staff work hard to create a welcoming environment where children want to play. Staff promote children's independence and encourage them to make choices in what they would like to play with.  Staff build strong relationships with parents and keep them well informed about their child's time in the setting. Parents report that their children really enjoy coming and that they are pleased their children are involved in a wide variety of activities.  Children have good opportunities to play and exercise in the fresh air.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Children understand they can ask for additional toys and equipment. However, creative materials, such as paint and dough, are not always easily accessible to prompt children to use their imagination to be creative.

who attend. This is good

Children are keen to participate in activities. Staff encourage them to design three-minute challenges for the other children to participate in. Children cooperate well and work in pairs to design challenges, such as seeing how many times they can bounce a table tennis ball on the bat in three minutes. Other children draw a picture they want the others to copy. Staff actively join in and children respond well to this showing that they feel confident in their environment. Staff plan and provide activities linked to children's interests. For example, children cook at least once a week and staff who are particularly skilled with art support others who enjoy drawing.

good

Staff clearly know the children well and are able to talk to them warmly about their friends and family and their day at school. Younger children benefit from having a key person who supports them in the setting. Consequently, children build strong relationships with the staff and each other. This encourages a family environment. Children follow good hygiene routines and automatically wash their hands when they come in from school in preparation for snack. Children are encouraged to help prepare the snack, which helps them to learn about healthy lifestyles. Children's behaviour is good with older children supporting younger children in their play. All children respond well to the reward system, which praises good behaviour. Children show they are pleased when they are getting points for their team.

provision is good

Management and staff have a good understanding of safeguarding. They are fully aware of the child protection procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. Management and staff implement good procedures to monitor and evaluate the provision. They actively encourage parents and children to be involved in this process. Children ask if they can have a fun water session to celebrate the end of term. Staff liaise with parents and provide various activities involving water, which children thoroughly enjoy. There are good relationships with the schools that the children attend which enables staff to work closely with them and provide support as required. Staff benefit from annual appraisals where management identify any training needs and staff can ask for specific training that they have an interest in, for example, to develop their skills with outdoor activities. Staff visit other settings to share expertise and learn from one another. Consequently, children
