This provision is good

 Staff know children well and are attentive to their individual needs, supporting their emotional well-being effectively.  Staff have effective partnerships with other agencies which helps to provide consistency in children's learning.  The manager and staff have a clear commitment to the ongoing development of the provision. They review the quality of the provision and their practice regularly and effectively, to help identify and drive improvement. Since the last inspection, they have improved their practice and learning experiences for children.  Activities are successfully adapted for children of different ages and skills to learn together. For example, staff plan story sessions well, enabling children to gain as much as possible, and explore stories further with additional resources and props.  Well-resourced activities engage children with enthusiasm. Children are motivated learners who make good progress.

Safeguarding is effective. The manager has a clear understanding and implements the requirements well. Secure recruitment and vetting procedures ensure staff are suitable to work with children. All staff have a secure knowledge of child protection issues and know the processes to follow if they have concerns. The manager monitors staff practice effectively, for example, through regular meetings and providing good guidance. The manager and staff have successfully met the recommendation from last inspection, providing more opportunities to further support children's progress in expressive art and design. They carefully monitor children's learning to ensure they make good progress overall and any gaps in learning close quickly.

learning and that they meet individual needs well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy a good range of interesting play activities, indoors and outdoors. Positive interaction from the staff skilfully motivates children to play and learn. For example, children had fun exploring dough, carefully rolling it and telling others, 'It's a caterpillar'. Staff model language and introduce new words, such as 'squirt' and 'soft', helping to develop children's language skills while they play with foam. Staff ask effective questions, giving children time to think for themselves and respond in their own way. Children make independent choices in their play. For example, children excitedly added cars to foam to make their own car wash.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and settle quickly. They form strong bonds with staff and their peers. Children enjoy daily outdoor play and a good variety of physical activities help to promote their physical well-being successfully. Staff teach children to manage their own hygiene well as part of promoting healthy living. Staff encourage children to be independent and take responsibility for themselves, such as when preparing to go outdoors. They celebrate children's achievements with praise, helping to boost their confidence and encourage further positive behaviour. Children behave well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy their time at the setting and are confident and motivated to learn. They decide where and how they want to play. For example, children who prefer to play outdoors have great fun using the challenging resources available. They make good progress and are well prepared for the next stage in their learning and education.
