This provision is good

 The pre-school is lead and managed well with priorities for improvement clearly identified. Managers continually listen to and reflect upon the opinions of others as part of this process.  All groups of children make good progress toward the early learning goals. Additional funding, such as the early years pupil premium is used well. Staff speak with parents and decide together how best they can support children's learning and development.  Staff manage children's behaviour in a calm and positive way. They praise the behaviour that they want and this helps children to understand what is expected of them. Children are also motivated by staff who encourage them to have a go and keep on trying.  The teaching of key skills in mathematics is highly effective. For example, older children learn to count, recognise, order and write numbers during short, focused group activities led by their key person.  Very good relationships with parents and close partnership working with other

professionals, support children's all-round development. Managers share information with other pre-schools that children attend and with the local children's centre. This helps to identify and implement targeted support which makes a real difference to children and their families.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Effective arrangements for monitoring the quality of teaching during children's self- chosen activities are not yet fully embedded.  Sometimes, staff intervene too soon during play and learning, which means that children's own ideas are not always fully explored.

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

 evaluate even further the impact that staff interactions have on children's learning, particularly during activities that children have chosen for themselves  help staff to make even better decisions about when to intervene in play and support children to fully explore their own ideas.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector spoke with staff and children during the inspection.  The inspector completed a joint observation with one of the pre-school managers.  The inspector held a meeting with the pre-school managers. 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

Safeguarding is effective. Staff understand their responsibility to keep children safe from harm. They know and can recognise the potential signs and symptoms of abuse. Signs and notices in the environment direct staff and parents to the local procedures to follow, if they are concerned about a child's welfare. Staff attend training, meetings and complete online courses. This helps them to develop their already good knowledge, understanding and skills in early years practice. This support also helps them to keep up to date with changes to legislation.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The quality of teaching during adult-led activities is particularly strong. For example, during larger group activities older children listen carefully to staff and to each other. Staff encourage them to read for a purpose and take turns in conversation. This helps to support children's communication, literacy and social skills. All children are supported well and their progress is monitored closely. Staff seek support from managers if they identify any gaps in learning. Together with parents they then plan how best to support children's good progress. Parents speak very positively about this. They have frequent opportunities to discuss and share information with their child's key person. Staff provide parents with access to up-to-date information about the pre-school. For example, information about activities, such as the book of the week, are on display. This helps parents to know what is coming up. Local authority initiatives, that the pre-school have been involved in,

continue to make an impact on children's communication, language and literacy development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident and settle very quickly at the start of the session. They are greeted warmly by staff and children's good behaviour shows that they feel safe and secure in the pre-school. Children are developing good awareness of healthy lifestyles. They eagerly join in with hygiene routines in preparation for mealtimes. They are also developing their physical skills. Children learn to negotiate space when they complete the obstacle course. They follow their friends as they climb, balance, hop, jump and slide on the equipment. Staff position themselves around the course so that they can help children when needed. They also remind children about safety as they climb on the table and jump down onto the mat.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are happy and motivated in their play and learning. They eagerly take part in a range of activities, developing good all-round skills. This helps to prepare them for future learning and the eventual move on to school. For example, children confidently write their names on their work. They enjoy finding out what happens when they mix two colours together. They also comment about the change in size as the shape that they paint gets bigger. Children show a caring attitude towards others as they help their friends to fasten their aprons. Younger children join in at group time singing familiar songs and rhymes. They become even more engaged as they follow and use actions as they sing.
