p.1

This provision is good

 Staff plan a good range of activities for children to promote learning in nearly all areas. Children are motivated while they play, concentrate well and make good progress from what they already know when they first start.  Children are happy and secure. They behave well. Staff form positive relationships with children and respond well to their personal and emotional needs.  Staff successfully adapt their good teaching to meet the needs of most children. For example, children who are learning early English skills, look at a picture-based timetable to help them understand their daily routine.  Children play with a wide range of resources that reflect and value their backgrounds and experiences. They learn to respect and value other people's backgrounds.  The manager checks on staff's performance well and provides them with opportunities to develop their expertise. For example, staff have attended behaviour management

training to help them become more skilled in dealing with children's behaviour.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always gather relevant information from parents about their children's early achievements, to help them plan suitable learning experiences, particularly when children first start.  Staff do not always plan activities which develop children's curiosity, imagination or ideas to aid their learning.

Inspection activities

 The inspector took into account the views of the parents and carers spoken to on the day.  The inspector observed the interactions between staff and children as they engaged in activities.  The inspector viewed documentation during the inspection, such as the setting's policies and procedures, safety risk assessments and children's registers.  The inspector held discussions with the manager and staff during the inspection about children's care and the activities provided for them.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager implements effective policies and procedures to promote the safety and welfare of children. Staff understand their responsibility to protect children and know how to report any welfare concerns. The manager regularly evaluates the setting's practice. She seeks the views of parents, staff and children to help identify the setting's strengths and areas to improve. Staff use their qualifications and knowledge to plan suitably challenging activities for most children. The manager implements good systems to check on children's progress, to ensure it remains at a good level. For example, she uses the information to help her and the staff to recognise and provide extra help for any children who may need a boost in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff teach children well. They encourage them to be involved and talk to them during activities to develop their conversation skills. Staff communicate with parents well generally. They update them regularly about their children's progress and inform them of how they can support children's learning and development at home. Staff form good partnerships with other professionals to support children's learning and development. For example, they work effectively with early years specialists from the local authority, seeking their guidance to support children with additional needs and improve outcomes for those children. Staff assess children regularly and know them well. They use their assessments of what children can do and provide activities to extend their learning. For example, staff draw numbers outside and children enjoy learning to recognise the numbers, counting to 10 accurately.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are welcomed into a warm and friendly atmosphere. They are confident and learn to be independent in preparation for their move to school. For example, they learn to hang their coats up on a peg and look after their belongings. Children eat nutritious foods, such as fruit for snack. They learn about healthy lifestyles, and staff promote their physical well-being successfully. Children behave well. Staff consistently encourage good behaviour and act as positive examples of how to deal with others. Children understand what is expected of them and listen to staff carefully when they talk about why some behaviour is unacceptable.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress. They develop good physical skills. For example, they use their hands to mix colours in cornflour to make new colours. Children listen carefully and speak clearly. They learn to share and take turns. Children gain good early reading, writing and mathematical skills to help them be ready for the next stages of their learning.
