p.1

This provision is good

 The provider is well organised and has a good understanding of the requirements of the early years foundation stage. She works well with the staff team to provide a caring and safe environment, where children feel happy and secure.  Parents give positive feedback on the service provided. They feel their children are well cared for and enjoy their time in the setting. Regular meetings and effective information sharing enable parents and staff to discuss children's care and development, and work together to support their needs.  There is a strong focus upon mathematics, which helps children develop a firm understanding of numbers and shapes. For example, children confidently cut out and ordered numbers one to 10. Staff supported their learning, showing them how to use a number line, to check their understanding of which number came next.  Effective monitoring helps all children to make good progress from their starting points.

p.1

This provision is good

Where there are gaps in children's learning, this is quickly identified. Measures are put in place to help close these, with support from other professionals where required.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not consistently encourage children to undertake small, manageable tasks, which support their independence and personal-care skills.  Sometimes activities and resources are not planned as well as possible, to support children to explore their own ideas and follow their interests.

p.1

What the setting needs to do to improve further

To further improve the quality of the early years provision the provider should:

What the setting needs to do to improve further

 make full use of opportunities to help develop children's independence and personal- care skills  provide children with more consistent opportunities to explore, investigate and motivate their learning.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed a range of activities and assessed the quality of teaching, and its impact on children's learning.  The inspector had a meeting with the provider. She explored the views of staff and children at intervals during the inspection.  The inspector considered the views of parents from their written and verbal feedback.  The inspector looked at a sample of documentation, including policies and procedures, staff suitability checks and children's learning records.  The inspector carried out a joint observation with the provider.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good awareness of their role and responsibility to protect children's safety. They know the steps to take if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The provider ensures ratios are met and staff are effectively deployed. Most staff are well qualified and all have opportunities to complete further training. They use their new knowledge to improve outcomes for children. For example, they have enhanced the methods they use to support younger children's language development. The provider works closely with the staff team to evaluate the quality of the provision. She takes account of parents' views and the needs of the children when identifying areas for improvement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have high expectations for children's learning. They observe children as they play and engage in adult-led activities, to assess their development and what they need to learn next. Children have rich and interesting opportunities to learn about the world around them. For example, regular outings have seen them visit museums, an aquarium, a swimming pool and other places of interest. Children learn to express their creativity in different ways. For example, they take part in specialised dance and art classes each week. Children benefit from lots of opportunities for outdoor play, which helps to support their health and well-being. For example, they enjoy fresh air and exercise on regular visits to local parks and open spaces.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop a good understanding of healthy lifestyles. For example, staff and children discuss how eating fruit and vegetables can help them to stay healthy, and at mealtimes they enjoy nutritious, freshly prepared food. Staff form close bonds with babies and children, and effectively support their emotional and care needs. This helps children to feel confident within their surroundings as they play and take part in activities. Staff encourage children's listening and cooperation skills well. For example, a construction activity supported children to work together and share resources to build a model car. Children's behaviour is good and they play together harmoniously.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children acquire a range of skills to support their future learning. Babies have lots of space to explore as they learn to crawl and walk, and activities are arranged at their level to encourage them to practise these skills. Children learn to be good listeners and confident communicators. They contribute well to discussions and explain themselves clearly. The strong focus on mathematics and literacy helps older children to prepare for school.
