This provision is good

 Children enjoy a broad selection of resources and activities that interest them and motivate them to learn. Staff plan exciting and purposeful experiences that help move children on in their learning and development. All children make a good progress.  Staff understand how children learn. They use observations and information obtained from parents to monitor their children's development, plan their next steps and meet their individual needs.  All children are settled and confident within the welcoming and stimulating environment. Staff provide regular praise and encouragement, to boost children's confidence and self-esteem.  Staff are motivated and create a secure, safe and vibrant learning environment for children. The management team provides good opportunities for their professional development and staff share their knowledge with others to improve their practice and outcomes for children.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, staff miss opportunities to extend further children's knowledge and understanding of the world around them.  Staff do not always give children sufficient time to finish an activity at their own pace before requiring them to move to the next routine or activity.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider, who is the manager, and all staff have a clear knowledge and understanding of their roles and responsibilities. They know how and when to take action if they have a concern about a child's safety or welfare. The manager ensures that all staff are suitable to work with children, and monitors their ongoing suitability regularly. There is effective monitoring of all aspects of the provision and children's progress. The manager is ambitious and aims to achieve the highest standards in care and education. She is clear about their strengths and weaknesses, and what needs to be done. Parents have a great trust in the care and learning their children receive, and they provide extremely positive feedback.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a good range of high-quality experiences for children, both inside and outside. They use their observations of children to plan experiences that match their learning needs and interests. For example, staff plan activities that link to children's interest in particular stories. Staff focus strongly on helping all children to develop good communication skills, including children learning English as an additional language and those who have special educational needs. For example, they use small-group time to introduce them to new vocabulary, comment on actions children can see and do, and skilfully use questions to help children think for themselves.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children build warm and secure bonds with staff and settle well. The caring staff comfort children if they are upset and give them cuddles. Staff obtain detailed information from parents about children's routines, diet, needs and abilities, and use this information to fully meet children's needs. Staff implement care routines well, helping children learn about the importance of leading healthy lifestyles. For example, children enjoy healthy diets, good hygiene routines, regular physical exercise and daily play outside. Children behave well and are increasingly aware of the needs and feelings of others. Children thrive in the outdoor area where they enjoy various experiences, such as building with wooden blocks, reading books in the cosy area or doing pretend cooking in the outdoor kitchen.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including children with disabilities, those with special educational needs, and children who are learning English as an additional language, make good progress. They are well supported to develop their independence and social skills. For example, children make their own choices in their play, take care of some of their own needs, take turns and follow the rules. Early reading, writing and mathematical skills are emerging. Children gain a range of important skills, to prepare them for their future education. Inspection report: Jelly Tots Pre-School (South Ruislip Methodist Church Pre-School), 27 April 2016 4 of 5
