It is not yet outstanding because:

 The management team has identified training and development opportunities for staff. However, these are not yet sufficiently focused on raising the quality of teaching even further to help promote children's attainment at the highest level.  On occasions, children do not have enough time to think about how to respond to questions and comments from staff.

She spoke to parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Children's safety is promoted well and staff give safeguarding the highest priority. Staff demonstrate a good understanding of the setting's policies and procedures. They have completed child protection training and are fully aware of the procedure to follow if they have concerns about children. Daily safety checks are carried out before children arrive to make sure the rooms are safe and secure. Staff complete a thorough induction process that supports them in knowing their roles and responsibilities. Three-way communication between the settings is used effectively to support children's ongoing learning. The manager and her well-established staff team continually evaluate their setting to ensure that they continually provide effective opportunities for children to make good progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The well-qualified team regularly observes children and makes assessments of their development. Staff know children well and provide a wide range of exciting activities that follows children's interests and promotes their learning. They interact positively with children and encourage them to explore their ideas, enjoy their learning and have fun. Very young children enjoy lots of sensory experiences. For example, they have daily access to a specially designed room where children can explore lights, colours, sounds, sensory soft-play objects and aromas. Staff use spontaneous moments in children's play to promote their learning. As children build wooden structures, staff talk to them about the patterns they are making with the differently coloured bricks. Children confidently count how many bricks they use to build an aqueduct for their railway.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have established secure attachments and build close relationships with their key person. This supports children in building their confidence during settling-in sessions. Staff promote good hygiene practices. They consistently remind children to wash their hands before snack and after messy play. Children develop their independence as they cut up their own snack and tidy away toys at the end of the session. Children behave well and are kind to one another. This is supported by the staff's consistent approach and clear explanations that they give to children.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children are making good progress in their learning. Children enjoy a wide range of enjoyable activities that supports them in acquiring the skills they need for school. For example, they learn about similarities and differences between themselves and others and how to treat others equally and respectfully. Children make marks and develop their handwriting skills, listen to each other's views and share toys kindly.
