The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 The provider effectively implements the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. This ensures that children are motivated, confident learners and make good progress.  Staff provide children with challenging, interesting learning experiences, which benefit children. Staff show through their good interactions with children that they know the children well.  Staff robustly supervise children, undertake detailed risk assessments and record all accidents. Furthermore, the provider is fully aware of her responsibility to notify Ofsted of any significant events in order to fully promote children's safety and well-being.  Staff access further training opportunities to develop their childcare skills and knowledge. As a result, children's learning outcomes are effectively improving.  Staff establish good relationships with parents, sharing information to meet the children's needs. Staff encourage parents to be part of their children's learning from the

start to ensure children receive continuity in their learning and care.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff miss some opportunities to teach children letters and their sounds during activities to strengthen their early reading skills. Therefore, they do not always promote this aspect of children's literacy development.

who attend. This is good

Staff skilfully assess children's learning from when they start and implement individual learning plans. This ensures all children make good progress according to their development stages. Staff are particularly good at meeting the needs of children with special educational needs and or/disabilities. They encourage children to take part in group discussions, thus building their confidence and language skills. Staff promote children's mathematical development well. Children learn to use magnets to guide and fix puzzle pieces correctly, learning about shapes and sizes. Children discuss the numbers and animal pictures on each puzzle piece; therefore, developing a secure knowledge of numbers and awareness of different names of animals. Staff provide writing resources; children enjoy writing their names and younger children make marks. This promotes their early writing skills well. Staff provide good opportunities for physical development. For

example, children play in the well-resourced garden and learn to climb, run and ride wheeled toys. They enjoy observing small creatures with curiosity which extends their awareness of nature.

p.3

good

Staff teach children about good behaviour, which means they share and are kind to each other. Staff are good role models to children because they are respectful and considerate of children, parents and each other. They promote children's good understanding of healthy lifestyles. For example, they provide a range of healthy drinks and snacks, and talk to them about the benefits of nutritious foods. Staff effectively prepare children for school; for example, they invite teachers to meet the children before they start school, which helps to promote their emotional well-being. Staff organise the inside and outdoors areas well, using plenty of resources and activities that promote all areas of learning. Staff fully promote children's understanding of self-care; therefore, children are becoming increasingly independent and learn to manage their personal needs well.

p.3

provision is good

Staff know how to identify any concerns about a child's welfare. They understand how to report any issues that may give cause for concern by following the setting's procedures to safeguard children. All leaders are good at monitoring the provision of care and education. They provide staff with daily feedback and regular supervision to improve their practice and drive forward improvement. Staff work closely with external agencies to provide children with additional support to help them progress further. The management team robustly self-evaluates the provision to identify areas for development and make plans for the future. The manager has completed the recommendations from the last inspection. All of which benefits children and demonstrates a positive attitude.
