This provision is good

 The manager is committed to providing high-quality care. Since the last inspection she has devised clear action plans and demonstrates a clear vision for further development.  Staff are well qualified and have a good understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage. They use their knowledge to plan activities and experiences that promote children's learning across the seven areas.  Staff are good role models.

All staff know the children well and respond attentively to their needs. Children are settled and their emotional well-being is supported.  The manager implements effective procedures to support staff to understand their roles.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff demonstrate a good understanding of how to protect and safeguard children. They fully understand their roles and responsibilities as they promote the welfare of the children. The manager seeks the views of parents and is in the process of acting on their suggestions for improvement. Older children's views are taken on board as a key part of planning activities. However, this is not extended to the youngest children so that their views are considered. Staff plan for and observe the progress that individual children make in their learning and development. Assessment processes are developing and they help staff to identify if there are any delays or gaps in children's learning and development. However, the manager does not yet use the information gathered through these assessments to check if different groups of children are making as much progress as possible.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff communicate effectively with children. They find lots of opportunities to support and extend children's developing language and communication skills during activities and daily routines. Staff provide a range of interesting activities to promote children's learning and development. Children's fine motor skills develop during craft activities. Their concept of numbers develops as staff encourage children to count at every opportunity. For example, they count how many places are needed when setting the table for lunch. Children learn about keeping themselves safe through lively discussions about fireworks and how to enjoy them safely. Partnerships with parents is encouraged. Parents have access to children's learning files and receive verbal updates about their children's progress. Staff effectively raise children's awareness of different faiths and cultures. Children learn about the world around them as they observe how a chick emerges from an egg and grows into

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Physical exercise is well promoted. Children enjoy daily access to the outdoors where they learn how to move around in different ways. There are close partnerships with the schools that children attend so that information about children is shared. Children are supervised well in the bright and welcoming environment. Their safety and good health are assured. Children learn about hygiene and the importance of washing their hands after playing outdoors and before eating. Children learn how to understand the feelings of others and are kind and considerate.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well supported to make good progress in their learning and development from their starting points. They develop independence and make choices in their play. Children develop good social and communication skills and this prepares them well for the next stage in their learning, such as school.
