p.1

This provision is good

 The provider closely monitors children's progress and effectively identifies any gaps in their development. She quickly puts steps in place to help close these gaps. All children make good progress from their different starting points.  Staff work well with parents to support children's learning and development. For example, they keep parents updated about their children's progress and invite parents to contribute.  The provider successfully evaluates the quality of the provision to improve outcomes for children. She has made good progress since her last Ofsted visit. For example, she now shares any safeguarding concerns with the relevant agencies in a timely manner, children's absence is recorded and monitored, and there are effective risk assessments.  Staff develop secure and friendly relationships with children. Children are happy, confident and independent.  Staff help children to learn in different ways. For example, they explain, demonstrate,

and encourage children to explore ideas.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasions, staff do not make the best use of opportunities to support younger children's learning during group times to fully engage them and extend their learning further.  Staff miss opportunities to help children learn about everyday technology to support their learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a thorough understanding of how to identify any concerns about a child's welfare and know how to report these to the relevant agencies. The provider ensures staff are suitable to carry out their roles and responsibilities before being in sole charge of children. Staff carry out regular risk assessments and remove any potential hazards to children's safety. Staff deployment is effective, the adult to child ratios are maintained, and staff supervise children well and are always close by. The provider knows to inform Ofsted of any significant events. She encourages staff to complete regular training to help support their professional development and improve their teaching skills. For example, staff now have a better knowledge of how to support children with additional needs and how to manage behaviour. The provider monitors staff performance effectively. For example, she provides direct supervision of all staff, specifically trainee

staff to help increase their skills and improve outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know the children well. They complete regular observations and assessments on children's development. They use this information to help guide them to plan for activities and children's next steps in learning. Staff encourage children's literacy skills well. For example, older children look at books independently and write their name. Staff support children's physical development effectively. For example, children enjoy the sensory experience of using their hands to make marks with paint. Children enjoy moving freely as they run, jump, and ride wheeled toys. They negotiate space successfully as they play chasing games. Staff help babies and toddlers develop their language skills well, for example, they sing lots of rhymes and action songs together.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff teach children effectively about the boundaries of behaviour. For example, children behave very well, share and take turns. Older children know to wait patiently as they select a bean bag and describe the letter of the alphabet on it. Staff teach children about diversity well. For instance, children learn to respect each other's differences and similarities, such as celebrating different cultural festivals. The provider and staff carefully follow effective health and hygiene practices to keep children safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for their future learning, including their move to school. For example, they demonstrate friendly behaviour, initiate conversations and form good relationships. They attend to their personal care needs and understand that equipment and tools must be used safely. Children skilfully recite numbers in order up to 10. They use number language spontaneously and begin to make comparisons between sizes.
