p.1

This provision is good

 Children benefit from a warm and inclusive learning environment. They settle well, make friends and happily engage in activities. Children's behaviour is good.  Staff know how children learn and develop. Children make good progress in relation to their different starting points and capabilities. They are well prepared for the next stages of their learning, including starting school.  Staff interact well with children and act on their suggestions to extend their communication and language skills. Children listen attentively and respond well to staff's instructions.  Staff work closely with other early years providers and relevant professionals to meet children's care and learning needs effectively.  Managers continually support staff, and monitor and assess the quality of the provision to help ensure that all children reach their potential.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always use opportunities to broaden fully children's understanding of the world around them, particularly in relation to different people and their communities.  Current processes to encourage all parents to contribute to their children's next steps in learning are not always highly successful.

 broaden the range of experiences for children to learn about other people and their cultures, to increase their knowledge of the wider world around them  continue to explore ways to involve all parents in their children's next steps, so that they can be even more engaged in their children's learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider checks the suitability and qualifications of all staff prior to them working with children to ensure that they are suitable for their role. Staff have a good understanding of the safeguarding procedures, including to whom to report any welfare concerns. Managers and staff check the progress of all children effectively. When identifying gaps in children's learning, they provide well-targeted support to help children catch up. Managers observe staff regularly and give them specific feedback to help them strengthen their skills. Staff attend extra training to benefit children's learning. For example, this is evident in the way they observe, assess and organise activities and resources to meet the needs and interests of each child. Managers evaluate the provision well, and act on the views of staff, parents, children and others to improve their service.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather information from their ongoing observations of children's learning to provide a wide range of stimulating experiences to enthuse children to learn. Children are interested and motivated to learn. They use their imagination well; for example, they use various resources to build their favourite models and share ideas of how people could live in a spaceship. Children's early literacy skills are developing well. For example, they love books and puppets, and confidently talk about their favourite characters and events. They enjoy taking part in songs and exploring different musical instruments. Children show pride in their work and are keen to improve it. Staff keep parents fully informed about their children's academic progress and well-being.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models. For example, they speak to children in a calm and respectful manner, and support their social and emotional skills well. Children learn to play together and respect the views of others. They manage risks through planned activities. For example, they carefully slice fruits with knives and use cutlery safely at mealtimes. Children become confident and independent learners. For instance, they prepare their own snacks, help themselves to drinks, and know that fruits and water are good for them. Children enjoy regular opportunities for fresh air and exercise in the outdoors. For example, they ride bikes and scooters safely. Staff undertake thorough and regular checks on the premises and resources to identify and reduce any potential hazards.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning. They share resources fairly and take turns. Older children count objects, recognise and order numerals. They show an interest in nature, for example, using magnifying glasses to investigate different plants and show care for living things. They know letters and their sounds and write their names correctly.
