This provision is good

 Overall, the quality of teaching is good and children make good progress in their learning. Staff help children to learn about the world around them. For example, children learn about autumn by discussing and reviewing environmental changes. Staff extend their learning through exploring nature, such as examining snails and spiders.  Staff attend regular training to improve experiences for children. For example, staff recently attended training on outdoor play and have used this to update resources and improve activities in the outdoor area.  Staff implement an effective key-person system to promote children's emotional well- being. Children form secure relationships with staff.  Overall, parents are happy with the provision. They feel that staff share information on their children's progress and that the staff are approachable.  The manager keeps up to date with new legislation. She uses this to review the policies

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, staff miss opportunities to use descriptive language, for example, during messy play or art activities, to broaden children's vocabularies and consolidate their learning.  Although mealtimes are generally nutritious and well planned, snack is time consuming and does not fully promote children's choice and social skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager supervises staff well. She has high expectations of staff to promote consistency in the quality of teaching. This helps her to recognise strengths and weaknesses in staff practice, and identify training opportunities to improve the quality of teaching. The manager evaluates the quality of the provision to identify and target areas for improvement. She regularly reviews all children's development to ensure children make good progress from their starting points and receive the support they need. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good knowledge of how to identify and report child protection concerns. The manager and staff have a good understanding of risk and of how to keep children safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide stimulating and challenging activities for children. Children are extremely focused and engaged during play. They learn to develop their physical skills through activities, such as carving pumpkins or kicking balls. They extend their creative skills, for instance, by grating soap and mixing it with water to create a 'witches' cauldron', searching for 'treasure' in the garden to add to the 'witches brew'. Staff encourage children to read stories, which helps to promote their literacy skills. Children develop their mathematical skills, for example, by measuring how long a snail's trail is in the outdoor area to see how far it has travelled. Staff have high expectations of children. They monitor and track children's progress to ensure they achieve expected levels of development. Staff support those children who have special educational needs, including working with other professionals, to help them make good progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are warm and attentive with the children, and support them to behave well. For example, they discuss with children how to behave, asking children to help them create fair rules and boundaries. Overall, staff cater for children of all ages and abilities. Children have access to a wide variety of resources to help them to build confidence and independence. Staff promote physical health and well-being. For example, they teach children about good hygiene practices and encourage them to engage in physical play outdoors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who have special educational needs make good progress in a well-resourced and engaging environment. Overall, children are confident in expressing themselves, form friendships and develop their concentration skills. They are well- prepared for their next stage of learning, including starting school.
