It is not yet outstanding because:

 Sometimes, staff do not organise focused activities in the most effective ways to support and promote children's engagement and concentration skills further. On occasions, activities do not move on quickly enough and some children lose focus.  At times, staff do not encourage children to do things for themselves to enhance their skills further, such as managing some tasks independently.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff demonstrate a good understanding of how to identify any children who may be at risk of harm. They know the action to take if they have concerns about a child's welfare. The manager values the opinions of staff, parents and children, and actively seeks their views when evaluating the provision. She successfully incorporates their comments and suggestions into her plans for future development. Effective vetting procedures are in place to ensure staff suitability to work with children. The manager thoroughly monitors children's progress, including specific groups of children. Swift action is taken to address any gaps in children's learning.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff encourage pre-school children to practise their early reading and writing skills well. For example, children learn the sounds and names of letters in the alphabet and write their names on their work independently. Younger children have fun learning to make marks using paint and building bricks. Staff interact well with children to help support their communication, language development and mathematical skills. They introduce new and interesting words to extend children's vocabulary. For example, children learn the names of tropical fruits and learn about fractions as they cut fruit into halves and quarters. Staff enthusiastically engage children in singing and rhyming songs, babies join in and clap in time with the melody.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff teach children about equality and diversity within the local community and wider world. For example, they learn about the festivals people celebrate and visit the local market to learn about food from different cultures. Children are provided with a varied and healthy diet. Staff make good use of opportunities to discuss the benefits of healthy eating. For example, children make fruit cocktails and discuss their favourite fruit. Staff implement the key-person system effectively. They establish close partnerships with parents to meet children's needs, helping them to settle quickly. Staff respond sensitively to children's needs. Children are well behaved and learn to treat others with respect.

p.4

Outcomes for children are good

Children greatly enjoy investigating the outdoor learning environment and engaging in physical play. All children develop good skills that help them prepare for the next stage in their learning and eventual move on to school. All children enjoy mark making in a variety of ways in good preparation for learning to write. They count, sort and measure as they play.
