This provision is good

 Relationships between staff and children are good. Staff set clear boundaries so that children know what is expected. Children behave well.  Children are motivated and enthusiastic in their play.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, staff do not encourage children to do things for themselves to encourage their independence further.  Occasionally, some staff do not interact with the children as well as possible to extend play and encourage even stronger communication skills.

 The inspector observed children and staff at play both inside and outside during the inspection.  The inspector spoke to parents, staff, children and the manager at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector carried out a joint observation with the manager.  The inspector toured the premises and looked at the available resources.  The inspector sampled a range of documentation, which included suitability of staff, policies and procedures.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure knowledge and understanding of child protection procedures. The manager monitors staff performance effectively overall, and offers regular support, such as through regular meetings. Staff carry out daily checks of the building to ensure children can play in safety. Staff are well deployed and supervise children to keep them safe at all times. For example, they closely monitor water play to limit spillages and the risk of slipping on a wet floor. Staff use the skills they acquire from training to improve the children's knowledge and understanding. For example, staff have recently attended training and used the skills they have learnt to create a display of people from different cultures with the children.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children play and explore in a clean, well resourced, safe environment. Staff offer the children a good range of activities which complements the progress they make at school. Children enjoy using arts and crafts. They use their imaginations and physical skills well. They enjoy solving problems during carefully planned activities designed to help them think for themselves. For example, children have fun creating water slides for play ducks and boats using various tubes and pipes. Children enjoy physical play, such as riding scooters and playing football. Staff support children with English as an additional language and help them feel valued, creating opportunities for all children to learn about different countries and cultures. For example, children look at books on Russia and create paintings using pictures they have researched in books about Russian artists for inspiration.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and communicate with their friends and staff. Children are familiar with the routines. They are confident and feel safe and secure. Children are allowed to follow their own interests and make choices about whether they play inside or outside throughout the session. Children have fun using the wide range of resources available. These are stored to enable children to choose what they want to play with, and they helpfully pack toys away when they have finished. Children understand the importance of eating healthy and follow good hygiene routines. For example, they wash their hands before snacks.
