This provision is good

 The management team monitors children's progress well and their self-evaluation process is effective. They ask parents for their views and use these to help them to identify where improvements to the quality of the provision can be made.  Staff help children to develop a good understanding of technology and the wider world. For example, they support children to build rockets in sequence on the computer and show them how to connect magnetic cars together.  The management team and staff implement a supportive settling-in process for each individual child. For example, they encourage parents to come with their children for as long as necessary to help their children to feel completely comfortable in the setting. This helps to support children's emotional well-being.  Children are confident learners and make good progress from their starting points. They play independently beside staff or with other children, and can choose what they

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not make the most of all opportunities to fully engage, motivate and interest children in their learning.  Sometimes, staff do not fully allow younger children enough time to think through, respond and talk about what they are doing while they play.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The management team has made effective improvements since the last inspection, particularly in their partnership with parents, which is now a notable strength. For example, managers have significantly improved their methods of communication between parents and staff to share and gather information on children's progress. Parents are now more informed about the care and learning their children receive. Managers implement an effective program of professional development for staff. For example, staff are now more effectively engaging younger children in learning mathematical skills, such as counting, after recent training. Safeguarding is effective. Staff implement safeguarding procedures well and understand how to identify child protection concerns. Managers work closely with staff to support them, monitor their performance and identify training needs. This helps staff develop and extend their practice, raising outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff complete regular observations and assessments of children and closely track their achievements. They use these to help them to plan activities that children enjoy and that support the next steps in their learning. For example, staff provide children with dough and encourage them to mould it using their hands and a range of tools. Children eagerly roll it, flatten it and use shape cutters to make rabbit shapes. Staff work well with other professionals; for example, they help children with special educational needs to catch up with their friends. Staff encourage children's interests. For example, staff skilfully combine children's interests, such as in dinosaurs and cars, to extend their play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well. For example, staff help children to learn how to manage their behaviour, and encourage them to think about and consider other children's feelings. Staff help children to learn about being safe. For example, when walking to the outdoor area, staff remind children of how to keep themselves safe. Staff support children's physical well-being and develop their awareness of healthy lifestyles. For example, they encourage children to play in the sand, filling and emptying containers using buckets and spades. Staff prepare heathy food at snack and lunch times to help children learn about good nutrition. Staff praise children and children develop good self-esteem.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident to communicate with adults and other children. For example, they are excited to show and talk about their pink jacket and how it is similar to a favourite pig character. Children play independently. For example, they pretend to look after their babies while using different accessories in the role-play kitchen. Children learn a wide range of skills to help prepare them for the next stage in their learning and school.
