p.1

This provision is good

 The management team sets high expectations for children's learning and staff practice. The staff are enthusiastic about helping children to succeed and share the manager's drive and ambition in the pursuit of excellence.  Partnerships with parents are positive. There are good systems in place to make sure parents are fully involved in their children's learning and are kept informed of the progress they make.  A highly effective key-person system is in place to support children's emotional well- being. Children enjoy plenty of fresh air and physical exercise. For example, they explore their local library, take nature walks and grow their own plants.  Children are able to freely choose from a good range of resources, both indoors and outdoors, and this helps support their independence and decision-making skills.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always make the best use of opportunities, such as during activities, to fully extend children's learning. For example, when children join magnetic balls together to make shapes, staff reinforce the shapes but build on this when children start to count them.  Staff do not always fully utilise routines effectively. For example, at times, staff are more focused on preparing for the next activity, such as lunch, rather than focusing children's attention on their shared task of tidying up.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The management team and staff have a good understanding of their role in protecting children. The provider follows robust recruitment procedures to help ensure staff are suitable for their roles. The manager implements effective methods to monitor and evaluate the provision. For example, children's learning and development are closely monitored to help ensure they make progress from their starting points. Staff regularly continue their professional development and build on their existing skills. This helps them to strengthen their practice and improve outcomes for children. For example, after training, staff now provide a wider range of everyday objects and natural resources for young children to explore and investigate. Partnerships with parents and other professionals, such as school staff, are especially good and help staff gain the additional support that children require.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good understanding of how children learn. Staff encourage children to choose from the wide range of interesting play activities and resources they make available, both indoors and outdoors. Staff positively interact with the children and skilfully motivate them to learn. For example, staff use skilful questioning during gardening to help children think about the importance of watering seeds and the different stages of growth. This helps children develop their understanding of the world. Staff use their observations and regular assessments of children's learning to help them identify the next steps in their learning. Staff follow children's leads and build on their interests well. For example, staff increased the range of instruments available to babies to help them explore and experiment their enjoyment of sounds more.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models for children. Children generally behave well. They have positive attitudes to learning and respect the views of others. Staff encourage children to be independent and to take responsibility for their actions. For example, children enjoy laying the table for lunch and pouring their own drinks. Children are happy and secure around the staff. For example, babies show interest in their surroundings and happily explore knowing that staff are nearby. Children learn about the importance of eating healthy foods, leading healthy lifestyles and being physically active.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and development from their starting points. They learn a good range of skills in readiness to start school. Children's early literacy skills develop well. For example, during story time, older children are encouraged to remember and repeat the rhyming words.
