The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 Staff provide good opportunities for children to be confident in managing and assessing risks during physical play. As a result, children show an awareness of safety.  Staff have good relationships with parents and welcome them into the pre-school regularly for parents' day. This benefits children's learning from home and from the pre- school.  Staff make regular observations of children's play to help them plan effectively for their next steps in learning. This results in children making consistently good progress in all areas of learning.  The pre-school is well-led and managed. The manager evaluates staff training needs to further extend their skills and knowledge. She implements effective changes and improvements to bring about positive outcomes for all children.  Children are very confident; they interact and negotiate well with their friends during play, which means they establish secure relationships.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff miss opportunities at times to extend children's interests in books and develop their early reading skills further by offering a wider range of books for them to explore.  Although staff provide opportunities for children to practise their early writing skills, they do not always provide a suitable range of writing materials for children to freely access.

who attend. This is good

Staff are secure in their knowledge of how to promote the learning and development of each child. They ensure the environment is set up to enable children to make choices about their play. This supports children to gain skills in their independence as they choose interesting activities and resources. Overall, children are able to fully explore a range of activities. For example, staff encourage children to access the indoor and outside areas to promote their physical skills and all-round development. Staff complete regular observations and implement clear plans to help their key children progress in their next stage of learning. Staff promote children's sense of belonging well by welcoming parents to the setting. For example, they provide opportunities for parents to come in and do cooking activities and read stories, which further strengthens partnerships with parents.

p.3

good

Staff promote children's growing awareness of safety and being healthy by offering nutritious snacks, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Children are confident in taking care of their personal care needs and follow good hygiene routines, such as hand washing. Staff provide opportunities for children to share experiences from home, which promotes their self-confidence. For example, children bring in things from home to share with others on regular occasions. Staff work closely with parents, teachers and children to support the transfer to school. For example, staff plan visits to local schools and set up role play scenarios with uniforms, photographs and other resources that reflect the school environment. Overall, this helps children prepare emotionally for the next stage in their learning. Children confidently play together with one another, resulting in them progressing well in their personal, social and emotional skills.

p.3

provision is good

The manager oversees children's progress and welfare needs effectively. For example, she ensures staff implement specific support plans to help all children, in particularly those with additional needs. Staff work closely with outside agencies, such as speech and language therapists, to meet specific needs. Therefore, all children progress well in their learning. The manager implements robust induction procedures for new staff and monitors their continuous professional development through regular meetings. She ensures staff are well informed about safeguarding procedures to enable them to recognise and report any signs that would give them cause for concern. In addition, the manager ensures staff complete regular risk assessments so children play in a safe environment. The manager effectively uses self-evaluation processes to highlight areas for improvement. She constantly updates improvement plans to reflect changes in light of any new training.
