This provision is good

 Most staff are well qualified. Managers supervise staff and provide different professional development opportunities, including further training. These have a positive impact on the consistently good quality care and education children benefit from.  Staff have high expectations of children's abilities. They observe and assess children's development accurately. All children benefit from the targeted support and suitable levels of challenge they need to continually progress well.  Children behave very well. They are kind, considerate and incredibly polite. Staff set clear rules and behaviour expectations. They are good role models. Staff talk to children about their feelings and help them to learn about right and wrong.  The environment is bright, welcoming and stimulating. Staff ensure children have access to a variety of different activities and experiences. Children are keen to play and explore. They demonstrate that they are motivated to learn.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Children do not yet benefit from the best possible continuity in their learning. There is room to enhance the flow of two-way information that is shared with parents about children's development between the setting and home.  The manager does not yet reflect deeply enough on the overall quality of the pre- school. She does not set the most ambitious targets for future development to help raise the standard as much as possible.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The pre-school is well organised. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Rigorous daily safety checks help to minimise hazards to children. Managers and staff have a sound understanding of child protection issues. They know what to do should they have any concerns. This helps to protect children from harm. Children are making good progress. The manager's overview of the curriculum, teaching practice and children's progress is secure. This helps to ensure no child falls behind. Equality and diversity are promoted well. Staff welcome all children into the setting. They challenge discrimination and negative stereotypes. Staff promote tolerance and respect.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The quality of teaching is consistently very good. Children's interests and next steps in learning are well promoted through positive staff's interactions and good quality planning. Children enjoy a broad range of activities. For example, staff facilitate craft projects, such as making themed displays. Children spread coloured paint around on a table in wavy patterns to represent the sea and then print the design onto paper. This helps to develop their creativity. Staff skilfully adapt their practice during activities to meet children's individual needs. They encourage children to persist with activities, they reshape tasks and provide children with understandable explanations that increase their learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are settled and happy. They form positive relationships with key staff. Staff get to know children well and are warm and friendly. Staff find out about and value children's cultures and backgrounds. They help children to reflect on their similarities and differences. Children display good levels of self-esteem. Children's physical well-being is promoted. Staff teach children about the importance of being healthy, such as the benefits of eating well, adopting good hygiene routines and taking exercise. Children enjoy using the playground equipment outside, including the climbing frame, swings and roundabout. This helps them to gain confidence in moving in different ways.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children acquire the essential skills they need for the move on to school. Children are independent. They make choices about how they spend their time in the pre-school. They also competently learn to manage their care needs. Children develop strong communication, language and literacy skills. They learn to speak clearly and express themselves. They can follow instructions, respond to questions and listen to others. Children handle books with care and enjoy stories. They join in with group singing sessions and letters and sounds activities. Children acquire skills in mathematics. They can count beyond five and complete complex puzzles.
