This provision is good

 The environment is exciting and there is a warm, family atmosphere. Children form strong emotional attachments with their key person and other staff. Children are secure, happy and settled.  Staff are good role models and help children understand expectations, rules and routines. Children learn to be kind to each other, take turns with toys and use good manners. Children of all ages behave extremely well.  Partnerships with parents are excellent. Parents value the staff highly and appreciate how well they meet the needs of families. Staff ensure that parents are well informed about children's progress and know how to support learning at home.  The manager is knowledgeable and passionate about continually improving the pre- school. She seeks the views of children, parents and staff to aid development planning. Future development plans are well considered to drive standards even higher.  Staff place a high priority on developing children's speaking and listening skills. They

consistently model and repeat words for younger children and engage older children in conversation.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Adult-led activities are not always planned and organised effectively enough to hold the interest of all children.  Links with staff at other early years settings that children attend have not been fully established to help promote consistency when supporting children's learning.

She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the pre-school.  The inspector spoke to a number of parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager leads an enthusiastic team that inspires and motivates children and each other to create a happy and successful learning community. Safeguarding is effective. Staff understand the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. They know what to do if there is an allegation made against a member of staff and can recognise the signs of abuse and neglect. There are good systems in place for tracking the progress of children. Staff are quick to recognise any gaps in children's learning and seek the help of other professionals when it is needed. Staff have varied opportunities for continued professional development and these have a positive impact on the quality of teaching. They feel well supported and are keen to expand their knowledge and skills further to benefit children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Most staff are qualified and have a good understanding of how children learn. From their interactions with children and their regular observations, staff accurately assess how well children are progressing in their learning and development. Staff follow up effectively on what children need to learn next and plan a wide range of stimulating activities. Staff support children who speak English as an additional language well. For example, staff learn and use key words in individual children's home language. Staff work hard to teach older children early writing skills. Children enjoy drawing pictures and some are keen to label what they have drawn as they ask for help to write 'teddy bear'.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The small, longstanding staff team is extremely kind, friendly and nurturing. Children thrive in the staff's care. Staff offer children plenty of cuddles and reassurance if they are upset or simply need comfort. This helps children to feel emotionally secure. Staff consistently encourage children to do things for themselves. For example, staff closely supervise children as they use knives to cut up fruit at snack time. Younger children smile with pride as they successfully put their coats and boots on independently before outdoor play. Staff help children develop an understanding of how to lead healthy lifestyles. Children are provided with a variety of nutritious snacks and staff encourage children to try fruit they have not eaten before. Staff and children discuss which countries they think the fruit comes from. Children explain that some fruit grows on trees in hot countries. The outdoor play area is well organised with a wide variety of activities and resources to

promote children's physical development.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those in receipt of additional funding, make good progress from their starting points. Children are becoming confident talkers and display good social skills. Early mathematical skills are emerging as children learn about numbers and quantities, for example, as they play with sand and water. Children are provided with plenty of freedom to express their ideas and thoughts. This helps to develop their language and promote their self-esteem. Children are beginning to write and learn initial letter sounds. Children are well prepared for the next stage of their education, including the move on to school.
