The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 Staff have a good understanding of how children learn and plan effectively to guide their progress towards the early learning goals. This consistently helps to prepare children for the next stage in their learning and their move to school.  Staff are caring and interact enthusiastically with children as they support them in their play. Therefore, children form close relationships with the staff and this effectively promotes their emotional well-being.  The manager regularly monitors children's progress to reflect on the effectiveness of the learning programme and to plan for improvements. Consequently, the quality of teaching is continually rising with a good focus on children's achievements.  Staff have a thorough understanding of child protection procedures and know how to safeguard children's well-being. This helps to keep children safe.  Self-evaluation is strong and partnerships with parents are very effective. Staff and

parents meet regularly to exchange ideas and identify areas that need further development.

who attend. This is good

Staff use creative ideas to provide enjoyable learning experiences for children and stimulate their interest. For example, children learn about the lifecycle of butterflies through role play. This promotes their creativity and their understanding of the world. Staff talked to children about the effect of colour mixing, as children explored paints with their hands. Children made up a story using toy models of animals to act out their narration. Staff extended their learning through effective questioning and this helped children develop their language and early reading skills. Staff provide a good range of challenging play equipment across all areas of the environment to promote the needs of all children. Consequently, all children develop confidence in trying new skills as they extend their physical abilities. The manager has established close links with local schools. Staff attend meetings with parents and school staff to share information effectively and

good

Staff provide an inclusive environment for children and their families. They work in close partnership with parents to support children who are learning English as an additional language. Consequently, all families feel welcome. Children develop independence as they help with routine tasks, such as setting up for mealtimes. Staff plan and provide healthy meals and snacks for children. Therefore, children learn to make healthy choices. Children enjoyed exploring the mud kitchen outside and busily engaged in watering the seeds in the planting area. They get fresh air as they learn about the natural world and this promotes their health and well-being. Staff offer lots of praise and encouragement to promote positive behaviour and this helps to promote children's social skills.

p.3

provision is good

The manager works in close partnerships with local authority advisors and the local safeguarding children's board to make improvements and effectively strengthen practices. The manager supervises staff effectively to continually raise the quality of teaching and outcomes for children. Staff work in close partnerships with more experienced staff in a local setting. They share good practice ideas and reflect on ways to improve children's learning experiences. The special educational needs coordinator has had appropriate training to equip herself for the role. She effectively shares her knowledge and skills with other staff to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. This helps to reduce gaps in children's learning and all children make good progress.
