p.1

This provision is good

 All children have the opportunity to take part in an elected 'club council'. The 'club council' helps staff to include the interests of individual children and groups of children in their planning. For example, the 'club council' talk to staff about planning and activity suggestions from the children.  Staff are well deployed to help to keep children safe. Staff observe children closely to support and help them when they need assistance during activities.  Children choose from a wide variety of accessible resources to complement their learning at school. Children mainly engage in self-chosen activities, but staff plan flexibly, for example to include activities that follow topics or cultural celebrations.  Staff promote children's well-being effectively. For example, they praise children during play to encourage them and help them build their self-esteem. The key-person system helps children to develop strong relationships with staff.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The manager misses some opportunities to develop further staff's knowledge and skills to promote new and different experiences for children, as they have mainly completed statutory training courses.  Staff do not always make full use of the good partnerships with parents to improve practice and promote consistency for children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The management team check staff performance and ensure they attend all statutory training to promote children's welfare. Safeguarding is effective. Staff follow good safeguarding procedures and understand how to identify child protection concerns. The management team reviews and implements comprehensive policies and procedures, which include current legislative changes and safer recruitment practices. The manager evaluates the quality of the provision to identify and target areas for improvement. She does this through audits of the setting and by getting suggestions from staff, children and parents. Overall, parents are happy with the communication and find staff approachable. Staff form good partnerships with the school. For example, they share resources with teachers to better support children in their learning and development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are positive role models for children during activities. For example, they interact with children at their level and model good language. Children communicate well with each other during play. For example, children shared their ideas while decorating the dolls and the dolls' house for Christmas. They told each other what they were doing and asked each other for help. Children learn to share, take turns and play harmoniously together, for example as they play card games. Staff encourage children to be independent. For example, they encourage children to make their own snacks and choose from a variety of healthy food choices.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children gain an understanding of risk through activities that encourage them to explore their environment. For example, children learn to carefully swing on the monkey bars with the help of staff. Staff encourage good behaviour and, overall, children behave well. For example, towards the end of every day, staff take turns to give a star to those children who have behaved well. Children develop their physical well-being. For example, staff encourage them to spend time outside, actively participating in activities that promote physical development. Staff promote children's understanding of diversity well. For example, they celebrate the cultures of all children who attend, and encourage children to value the differences and similarities between themselves and others.
