It is not yet outstanding because:

 Opportunities to regularly share information with parents and seek their views are not maximised to help ongoing improvements to the quality of provision.  Staff are not highly effective in supporting children to understand more about people and communities beyond their own.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a robust understanding of child protection issues and their role in keeping children safe. Most staff also work at the school and know children very well. They work closely with teachers to provide consistency in children's care and learning. The manager ensures that staff are deployed effectively throughout the session and monitors the quality of their practice. Staff qualifications, training and supervision meetings have a positive impact on the quality of teaching and learning. For example, staff know how to plan to meet the needs of the range of children who attend. The management team regularly seeks the views of children and staff. On the whole, this information is used effectively to set priorities and drive improvement across all areas of provision. Parents say children enjoy the range of activities provided and form a close bond with the staff.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff effectively follow each child's interests and ideas and encourage them to try new activities. For example, they explain the rules of games and where to place the discs to connect them together. Staff motivate children as they play and praise them for their contributions. Children are keen to join in and enjoy celebrating their achievements together. Staff use a range of effective methods to promote children's communication and language skills. For example, they engage children in conversations about their day and about their creations and representations they make. Children talk about why they have painted the different coloured leaves and how they fall from the trees in autumn. They are enthusiastic to explore and investigate and become motivated to learn. For example, younger children experiment with hoops and ropes to make up their own play ideas. Older children find different ways to play with the footballs outdoors. Children are confident to

take on new challenges. They are supported well to develop the skills and attitudes that promote future learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The key-person system is effective in helping children to develop a close and respectful relationship with the staff. Staff show a genuine interest in children and value their views and opinions. They are good role models and provide children with activities and experiences where they learn to share and take turns. Children show kindness and consideration to others and play cooperatively together. Older children help the younger ones during routines and activities. Children make friends easily and settle in well. Their independence skills are promoted effectively. Children take responsibility for hanging up their belongings when they arrive and see to their own personal needs. They pour their own drinks and select their snack from the range of healthy food available to them. Resources are planned well so that children can make choices throughout the session and take resources outside if they wish. This contributes towards children's self-assurance and

sense of belonging. Children take part in a range of fun activities where they play with enthusiasm, energy and vigour.
