This provision is good

organised provision where all children progress well from their starting point.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, some staff do not organise activities as well as possible to fully engage all of the children taking part. Children sometimes lose interest and become slightly unsettled.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Managers ensure staff have a secure understanding of child protection matters and the procedures to report concerns about a child's welfare. Leaders complete thorough recruitment and vetting procedures to check that staff are suitable to work with children. Staff implement effective risk assessments and conduct thorough checks to provide safe learning environments for children. Regular team meetings and training sessions help staff to constantly update their knowledge and skills. Staff effectively use their knowledge to implement changes; for example, they have introduced natural resources for all the children to explore.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide interesting activities for children to develop their creative and imaginative skills. For example, children enjoy playing shops and discuss the importance of recycling. Staff develop children's early mathematical skills well. For example, children compare the size of dinosaurs, and count their legs and spikes. Staff skilfully support children's communication and language development. For example, they ask them interesting questions and give them simple instructions to follow. Children strengthen their physical skills in various ways. For example, they dig, fill and empty different containers when playing with sand play. Babies like spending time on their tummies to explore what is around them and enjoy activities to explore their senses. Staff develop children's early literacy skills well. For example, they read books to develop children's interests in stories and encourage them to take books home to read with parents.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop good social skills and learn to share and take turns. They learn to recognise and manage their own needs. Children turn to staff for help and support, when needed. They know the importance of washing their hands and develop a good level of independence, for example, as they serve their snacks and clear plates and cutlery after eating. Older children benefit from regular trips into wooded areas. These help to support their physical well-being and understanding of the natural world. Children learn about diversity and the wider world through a variety of experiences. For example, they take part in cultural celebrations and try foods from around the world.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are motivated to learn and try new experiences. Those learning English as an additional language receive good support to help them quickly catch up. Children concentrate well and learn a good range of skills to help them prepare for the next stage in their learning. For example, they confidently practise their emerging writing skills. They identify letter sounds and write and type their own name.
