p.1

This provision is good

 Staff make good use of the indoor and outside space to provide stimulating play environments. Staff interact sensitively with children, enabling them to make good progress, given their individual starting points.  The qualified teacher organises effective learning opportunities, such as small-group activities. She uses these to help close any gaps in children's learning and provide challenging experiences for the most able children.  Children's behaviour is exemplary. They are fully aware of their boundaries and quickly gain self-confidence in making their own decisions.  Staff have an excellent working partnership with parents. The qualified teacher supports parents to extend children's learning at home, for example, by organising parenting courses, mums' groups and workshops.  Staff are rigorous about safeguarding practices. They are aware of the process for reporting any child protection concerns. This has a positive impact on children's

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The management team provides strong leadership and implements all statutory requirements effectively. Safeguarding is effective. The manager ensures effective supervision of children at all times. She deploys the qualified teacher to good effect and this has led to a better quality of teaching overall. Leaders have recently developed an effective system for staff supervision, thus encouraging staff to access relevant training. For example, staff have attended specific training on children who are aged two years old, to help improve their learning outcomes. Staff are active in involving parents in their children's learning, for example, when planning focus weeks and outings. They are introducing a new system of assessment to enable more detailed monitoring of children's progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff work effectively to support children's development. Children with special educational needs benefit from this joint approach and make significant progress. Staff encourage independent learning while making the most of opportunities to direct children's learning too, for example, by introducing counting activities during play. Staff are particularly good at using spoken language to extend children's communication skills. They provide good opportunities for children to improve their physical skills in all environments. Staff broaden children's learning by planning activities in response to their needs and interests, such as spider hunting in the garden. Children have good opportunities to learn more about different cultures and religions to develop their knowledge of the wider world.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are exemplary in promoting children's personal development. For example, staff have worked hard to explore ways to settle children who are two years old into the pre-school. As a result, children quickly develop a sense of belonging. Children learn to keep themselves safe at pre-school and in the local community. They delight in choosing different play activities and develop close relationships with others. Staff use consistent strategies for managing behaviour; hence, children are attentive and respond positively. Staff are rigorous in their attitude to health and safety. For example, they devise healthcare plans, when needed, and pay close attention to children's welfare. Staff are creative in their organisation of snack time. Therefore, children develop independent skills and learn about healthy eating.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Staff assess children's individual progress in all areas and use this information well to highlight any groups of children who need extra support. Staff liaise with parents to help move children on. Consequently, children achieve to a high standard and are well prepared for their future learning.
