p.1

This provision is good

 Staff track children's progress well. The manager monitors this and identifies any gaps in learning and puts a plan in place to help all children make good progress.  Staff effectively adapt activities for children of all abilities. For example, while reading a story, staff use exaggerated gestures for young children, ask open-ended questions and repeat back words to extend the learning for older children.  Children learn skills that prepare them well for school. They choose their own activities, learn to be independent and follow their own interests.  The manager and staff reflect on, and evaluate activities. They consider children's, parents' and staff's views when identifying areas for improvement.  The manager and staff know the children very well. The staff praise children and build on their developing self-esteem. Children form warm and secure attachments to the staff. They flourish in the welcoming, safe and happy environment.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The manager and staff do not make the best use of opportunities to give parents details on how they can help extend their children's learning at home.  Sometimes children have to wait too long during daily routines without anything to do. Staff do not make the best possible use of these times to extend the children's learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have good safeguarding knowledge and know how to keep children safe from harm. They know what to do if they have a concern about a child's welfare. The manager keeps staff up to date with practice changes and new legislation. Partnerships with schools and other professionals are effective. For example, staff work with teachers to share children's information and develop plans to help prepare children for school. This helps provide continuity in their learning. The manager provides staff with training and support to improve their practice and teaching skills. For example, after attending training, staff learnt additional skills, and now plan activities following children's interests. Children are motivated and keen to learn.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The manager and staff support children's communication and language well. They extend their vocabulary effectively. For example, while playing with hollow cardboard tubes, staff introduced words such as 'telescope' and 'shooting star'. The manager and staff prepare children well for school. Children use mathematical language as they begin to understand 'more' and 'less'. They also learn to recognise shapes. For example, while children played with playdough and made shapes, staff introduced words such as 'oval'. Children engage in activities well and work co-operatively, for example, as they work on a large floor puzzle. Staff provide children with a range of stimulating resources that meet their individual needs. For example, babies begin to learn to crawl in and out of a wicker igloo.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The manager and staff are good role models and children behave well. Children learn to take turns and respect each other's differences. For example, through a sponsorship programme, staff use experiences of children in other countries to discuss how each child is different. The staff effectively support children's understanding of people in the wider world. Children learn how to be safe and minimise risks. For example, they conduct their own daily risk assessment and garden checks and know to wear safety helmets when riding bikes. Staff teach children about rules and how to work together. For example, children have a council and agree on behaviour for the setting.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop good physical skills. For example, older children learn to ride pedal bikes while younger children ride balance bikes. Children develop good social skills and are happy and confident. Children learn good manners. They learn to share and be tolerant of others and their beliefs. Children are aware of their own needs and learn how to put on their clothes and wash their hands as needed. They develop an understanding of the natural world, for example, as they search for insects and bugs in the outside play area.
