This provision is good

 Staff show a clear awareness of children's individual learning needs and abilities. They skilfully include children of various ages and abilities in group activities so that all children are purposefully engaged.  Staff fully enhanced children's language skills during play and group activities. They ask challenging questions that encourage children to describe their thoughts and feelings.  Children's understanding of the world is successfully promoted through regular outings to the shops, library and dentist. This enables them to gain first hand experiences of their local community.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Children's early literacy skills are not fully enhanced. Children do not gain positive learning experiences when they look at books independently because books are not all well maintained.  Systems to monitor the achievements of different groups of children are not fully established. Managers are in the early stages of identifying any gaps in achievement to aid planning and use of resources where they are needed the most.

Josephine Geoghegan Inspection report: Little Butterfly Daycare Nursery/Breakfast and After School Club, 26 January 2017 3 of 5

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Robust vetting and recruitment procedures and on-going supervision ensures staffs suitability is effectively monitored. Staff have a secure understanding of the safeguarding procedures. The new manager and provider effectively prioritise and plan as the nursery expands and develops. Self-evaluation includes targeted action plans, working with the local authority, parents’ questionnaires and staff training programmes. All actions raised at the last inspection are successfully met. Managers promote and monitor consistent staff practice, including the educational programme and assessments of children's progress. However, systems to monitor the progress of different groups of children are in their infancy. Staff work together as a team to ensure children's individual needs are continuously met.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are becoming independent learners and follow their own interests during play. Children's literacy skills are promoted well during story times and children regularly take home books to continue their learning at home. However, staff do not promote children's independent enjoyment of books well enough as books are not maintained in good condition. Staff actively model play and successfully extend children's learning. For example, they fully engage in role play in the 'Chinese restaurant'. They encourage children to use chop-sticks, talk to about their experiences of eating Chinese food and the Chinese New Year celebrations. This also develops their understanding of the world. Staff inspire older children to look at nature as they watch the clouds and talk about what the shapes look like.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff manage children's behaviour in a calm and positive manner, creating a relaxed learning environment. Children take turns well during play and show responsibility for their learning environment as they put away toys and aprons after use. Good setting-in procedures ensure staff and key persons share information about children's individual needs and routines. Children have good relationships with staff and each other. Children's good health is promoted well through a healthy diet and regular exercise. Interesting topics such as 'healthy eating' help children learn about foods that are good for them and how to look after their teeth. Older children develop good personal independence so that they are well prepared to move on to school.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making good progress in all areas of learning. Staff regularly share information with parents about their children's progress, including the review at age two. Children who have additional needs are supported well through individual plans agreed with parents to promote consistency between home and the nursery. Children develop good artistic skills while painting. Younger children freely explore the paint using brushes and their hands, while older children make good attempts to paint their own Chinese style writing as they look at Chinese posters with staff.
