This provision is good

 The manager works closely with the owner to provide high-quality care and learning for all children. A well-qualified team of staff ensure that children are well supported during their time in the setting.  All staff are keen to continually improve what is offered to children and their families. The views of parents are actively sought and acted upon. Children are able to provide their feedback in accessible ways and input into planning.  Children are well supported when they start in the setting. Staff gather information about children and take time to learn about their likes and dislikes. This helps them to plan a developmentally appropriate environment to meet all children's needs.  Staff are good role models who have high expectations of all children and teach them to be considerate and kind. Children of all ages enjoy spending time together and this helps to create a real family feel in the setting. Behaviour is very good.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Self-evaluation is not yet focusing closely enough on the assessing the impact of changes, to practice to help strengthen development planning further.  Overall, parents are extremely happy with the service, however, there is a lack of some detailed information about the setting when their children first start.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff know the signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect and what action to take if they have concerns about a child. The owner follows robust recruitment and induction procedures to ensure the suitability of all staff. Risk assessments and safety checks are completed and the setting is kept secure. Staff remind children about safety and supervise them closely as they use tools and equipment. This helps children to develop an understanding of what they need to think about to keep themselves safe. Staff deployment is well managed so that children are supported wherever they are playing. Staff are keen to extend their knowledge and understanding further through continued professional development. Overall, feedback from parents is positive. They value the flexible service offered and how well staff know and meet the individual needs of their children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide children with a developmentally appropriate environment and high-quality resources which interest them. They plan activities which build on children's experiences in school and help enhance their skills and knowledge across all seven areas of learning. Children are provided with a variety of craft and junk modelling materials. Staff talk to them about what they might like to make and have pictures of models to inspire them. This stimulates children's imaginations and they are quickly making their own creations. Staff engage children in conversations as they work and offer them encouragement when they find tasks tricky. This helps children to develop resilience and a positive attitude to learning. It also helps children remain focused and engaged for long periods. Staff ensure that parents know what children have been doing and learning in the setting.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children appear very happy, relaxed and comfortable during their time in the setting. At the end of the school day, they enter with enthusiasm. They talk to staff about their day and what they are planning to do. Staff help children to feel welcome and valued. Children play cooperatively, take turns and share. Staff promote good manners and children say excuse me, please and thank you as they play and interact with one another. Staff praise positive behaviour, children's achievements and are quick to respond when children need them. Staff effectively promote children's physical and emotional well-being. There are opportunities for children to choose to play inside or outside. Children follow rules and routines well. Staff help children to develop an awareness of personal hygiene and promote independence skills. Children have nutritious snacks and are well supported to learn how to make healthy lifestyle choices.
