This provision is good

 The ambitious management team and extremely supportive committee work tirelessly to ensure outcomes for children are given the highest priority.  Staff are well qualified. They regularly observe children and effectively plan for their ongoing learning. They provide a range of fun activities that reflects children's interests and next steps in learning.  Children settle quickly when they arrive at the centre. Staff recognise the uniqueness of each child and have a warm and caring approach towards them. This helps children to develop secure emotional attachments with staff and happily become involved in play.  Children develop very good independence skills from an early age. Older babies find their shoes in readiness for outdoor play. Toddlers and pre-school children learn how to put their own coats on and become confident in meeting their personal care needs.  Staff share good information with parents about children's well-being and learning.

This provision is good

Parents comment that they cannot speak highly enough about the centre. They acknowledge the high level of care and value the warmth and friendliness of staff. This contributes to good partnerships with parents.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Professional development support for staff does not always focus precisely enough on raising the quality of teaching to an outstanding level.  The management team has not yet developed a fully effective system to monitor the progress that different groups of children are making.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The management team is very experienced. This has a positive impact on how the centre is run. Staff work closely as a team and morale is high. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Management and staff have knowledge and experience in child protection procedures. They are aware of the action to take if they are concerned about the welfare of a child in their care. The manager has established policies and procedures to ensure the safety of all children. Clear processes are in place for the recruitment of new staff. Suitability checks are completed to ensure that all adults are safe to care for children. The management team reflects on the quality of the centre. The views of parents and staff are gathered to help them make ongoing improvements for the benefit of the children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff encourage the development of children's spoken language very well. They engage children in conversations, enabling them to build on what they know. Staff replicate activities suggested by outside agencies to further build on children's developing speaking skills. Toddlers enjoy bathing dolls in water. Staff sit alongside them naming parts of the body. This helps to build on children's vocabulary through pretend play. Children develop their confidence during group activities. They enjoy learning about the sounds of objects. Staff value what each child has to say and listen as they eagerly share their thoughts and ideas. Staff extend this activity well as they encourage children to listen for sounds in the outdoor environment. This helps to increase their understanding of the world. Pre-school children use different materials to create special effects and they confidently use scissors with increasing skill and care when making Valentines cards.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Time is spent settling children into the centre at the start of their placement. This contributes to their sense of emotional security. Children enjoy learning and developing their physical skills outdoors in the fresh air. Babies kick balls and squeal with delight as they climb and slide on the equipment. This helps to develop their growing coordination. Toddlers ride on tricycles and confidently negotiate a safe pathway to follow. Pre-school children carefully chalk on the ground. Staff help to promote healthy lifestyles. They encourage children to wash their hands before eating. Lunchtime is a relaxed and social occasion. Pre-school children's self-esteem is raised when they are chosen to sit at the 'fine dining' table as a reward for good work during the morning.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points, given their own individual needs and abilities. Babies develop good listening skills. They choose a resource from the song box and join in with actions and a song relating to their object. Toddlers mix colours together and are proud of their creative pictures. Children confidently talk about their play and learning at the centre. They are curious and like to ask visitors questions. Children develop good skills in readiness for their move on to school.
