This provision is good

 Staff are sensitive, warm and caring. They are polite to each other and very good examples for the children in how to treat and relate to others. Since opening, the setting has reached good levels of provision.  Children benefit from a wide range of interesting and stimulating activities. These are well planned to reflect children's current interests.  Staff teach well and are knowledgeable about how very young children learn. They are successful in supporting the children's learning and typically meet their unique needs. This supports children in making good progress.  Staff accurately assess children's progress. They plan effectively to move each child's learning forward. Children use resources easily and they become independent learners.  An effective key-person system supports children's emotional well-being. Care routines are responsive to children's individual needs. Children form secure attachments which

help them settle quickly. Children behave well.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not help children enough to become aware of others living in the local community who may be different from themselves.  Although parents receive good information about their children's care, they are not supported as well in helping them to extend their learning at home.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are confident in their knowledge of the signs and symptoms which may cause them concern about the welfare of a child in their care, and they fully understand the procedures to follow. The manager follows rigorous recruitment procedures and completes training in safer recruitment. She ensures good levels of staff professional development, for example, by regular training and supervision, which they use effectively to maintain children's good outcomes. Safety is a high priority and risks are accurately assessed and minimised. For example, there are regular checks by staff of sleeping babies to ensure their well-being. Parents say that they are pleased with the setting, highlighting the smooth start that their children make.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children benefit from a wide variety of sensory activities. For example, using paint to make hand and foot prints on large pieces of paper excites and delights them. Staff obtain detailed information from parents to help identify and provide for children's individual needs. This particularly supports very young children. Staff observe children carefully, devising interesting and age-appropriate learning opportunities which follow their interests. For example, children who enjoy the feel of sand were helped to bury their own feet to extend their learning and experience. Children's progress is accurately assessed and helps staff to plan carefully for what children need to learn next.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children understand their own needs confidently, seeking help when needed. The very youngest children receive individual care and attention, supporting their emotional well- being. For example, children turn to staff for comfort when tired, receiving gentle support when needed. Children like their learning and behave well. They learn to share and take turns, preparing them well for their next setting. For example, children take turns to choose songs they enjoy singing. They hold hands and pretend to row boats together. Children enjoy nutritious and appealing food and learn about healthy eating. Children learn to care for their surroundings. For example, they work together at tidy-up time.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are engaged, active learners. They are well prepared for the next stages in their learning. Their physical skills develop well. For example, children move in various different ways over soft play equipment and like their 'animal yoga'. All children make good progress from their different starting points. They develop their early number and communication skills well. Children have fun, enjoy their learning and are eager to share this with others.
