p.1

This provision is good

 Children's personal, social and emotional well-being is given high priority. This is enhanced by a well established key-person system which supports children to form secure attachments. As a result, children seek reassurance as required and demonstrate that they are happy and feel emotionally safe and secure.  The management team implements effective systems to support staff to understand their roles and promotes professional development opportunities. This is achieved through regular supervision and training. This helps to improve the quality of care and learning children receive.  The manager and staff have effective relationships with other professionals, agencies and local schools. These result in well-coordinated strategies that promote the good progress of all children.  Staff provide children with clear, age appropriate and consistent behavioural expectations. Consequently, children's behaviour is very good.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The size and organisation of some group activities do not meet the needs of all children.  Staff, on occasions, do not give children extra time to share their experiences.  Staff have yet to explore even further successful ways to guide parents, so that a shared approach to children's learning at home is fully embraced.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff have completed training and know how to protect children from potential risks and harm. Staff are recruited and vetted robustly, which ensures they are suitable to care for children. Leadership is strong and the management team's commitment to continuous improvement is evident. The management team leads a well-qualified staff team who have, overall, a good knowledge of how to teach children. The manager frequently observes staff and gives feedback to help them to reflect on their practice. Staff are set challenging targets and attend training courses to extend their knowledge and skills. This helps to improve outcomes for children. Children's achievements are monitored well. Any gaps in development that are identified are swiftly closed through targeted intervention.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The quality of teaching and how staff interact and support children's play experiences are good. Staff place a strong focus on supporting children's language and communication. For example, children get very excited as they watch for their own toy that comes out of the treasure bag. They then explain to their friends what it is and show them what it does. Children are very enthused as they get ready to go to the mobile library, they put on high- visibility jackets and hold on to the walking rope. On their return, they are keen to share with younger children the books they have chosen. Strong partnerships support children as they move on to school. The manager and staff invite teachers in to the setting from the local school. This enables teachers to get to know children and supports a smooth move.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy, settled and enter the setting confidently, benefiting from staff being enthusiastic and welcoming on arrival. Good support is given to children and parents who have just started to attend. This helps staff to build warm and trusting relationships with children and their families. Children have good opportunities to develop good levels of independence, and equipment and toys are stored in a way that they can easily access. Staff promote healthy lifestyles. A variety of well-balanced snacks are provided, with drinks available for children to access. Children have daily opportunities to play outdoors. For example, they visit the nearby park, where they learn how to take risks safely and develop their physical skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Staff gather good information from parents so that they are aware of their child's starting points. Staff observe, assess and plan effectively for the next stage of learning in children's development. All children, including those who receive funded early education, make good progress from their starting points. They develop the key skills that they need in readiness for school. Children are confident and happy as they interact with each other and staff.
