p.1

This provision is good

 The manager has a good understanding of how to meet the safeguarding and welfare requirements. She has established and embedded strong systems to monitor and enhance the quality of the provision, and is driving improvement very effectively.  Staff have a good understanding of how children learn. They are skilled at providing a broad range of interesting activities and promoting play. Children are eager and confident to make choices and come up with new ideas.  Children are well motivated to explore the interesting learning environment. Staff provide spare items, such as wellies and wet-weather clothing, and encourage children to practice putting things on. Children learn good self-care skills.  Children progress well in their learning and have mature skills in many areas.  The manager and staff have built strong partnerships with other professionals and day carers to promote very consistent care for children.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff are not always consistent in challenging persistent minor behaviour issues and helping children to understand how to manage their own conduct.  Staff have established strong partnerships with parents to support children's learning but they do not consistently involve parents in all reviews that they make of children's progress.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have had recent training in safeguarding children and know exactly what action to take should they have concerns about the welfare of a child. Accident records and risk assessments are accurately maintained. Staff ensure safe collection of children. Staff deploy themselves thoughtfully to promote children's play and learning. The manager works with staff, parents and children to evaluate the provision, and sets well-targeted action plans to drive improvement. For example, she has enhanced planning and assessment processes to improve the accuracy of teaching. The manager closely monitors the work of staff and their impact on children's progress and sets goals for staff professional development and outcomes for children. The manager and deputy enhance the skills of well-qualified staff with guidance and advice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff work very closely with parents to establish children's current abilities and interests when children first start. Staff are attentive to children's play ideas and make well-judged suggestions to extend children's play and provide extra challenge. Children benefit from good levels of supervision and teaching support. Staff are always nearby and join in with play to add further interest. Staff make regular observations of children's achievements and review children's progress every 12 weeks. Staff identify children's next steps in learning and give this information to parents. This helps to build an effective partnership to promote children's development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children benefit from staff's close attention to their physical care and well-being. For example, staff work with parents to promote toilet training, and regularly check with children as they play if they need to use the toilet. Children make healthy choices at mealtimes. Staff encourage children to try new foods and offer alternatives to make sure they do not feel hungry. Children benefit from good relationships with staff, and staff share information with parents about the care and welfare of the children. This underpins children's good emotional well-being. Staff are attentive to children's safety and teach new skills very well, such as using new equipment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy exploring and being creative in their play. They are very eager to learn new things. Children are confident and learn how to use different small tools or large physical play equipment safely. They achieve well within the typical range of development for their age. Children are well motivated, make good progress and acquire good skills for their future learning.
