This provision is good

 The staff team are well qualified and know all children well. They ensure a wide range of activities are available for children to experience both indoors and outdoors. Good quality activities are planned which support children's interests.  Partnerships with parents are very positive. Parents are highly complimentary about the staff and the service provided. They feel their children are safe and that staff are always happy to accommodate their family's individual needs.  The provider works closely with the staff team. Regular team meetings enable all staff to share their views and ideas for further improvement. They share a vision for continuous improvement and have clear development plans in place.  Staff listen to children and encourage conversation about their school day. Children and staff have positive relationships and all children are assigned a member of staff as a key person to support them when needed. Children's emotional needs are well met.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff are not always fully supported to develop their professional development to the highest level.  Information about children's learning in school is not always gathered by staff to ensure their learning is complemented further at the setting.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff are knowledgeable about how to protect children from harm. They know where to refer any concerns regarding children's welfare and they follow the setting's comprehensive policies and procedures. The provider recruits experienced and well-qualified staff. She follows a clear recruitment process, including ensuring all staff are subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check. The staff team works well together and is committed to providing a happy and safe environment for children. The manager supports staff to reflect on their teaching skills and accurately evaluates their practice. The views of staff, parents and children are regularly sought through meetings and questionnaires. The provider adapts the service in response to feedback. For example, food options for breakfast have been changed and more activities are planned for children to enjoy outside.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan activities to stimulate and challenge children in their play. For example, during baking staff discuss numbers over 100 and encourage children to weigh and measure ingredients to the gram. Children concentrate and persist with tasks until they reach the desired outcome. Older children support younger children during play. For instance, they encourage turn taking while playing chess and invite children into their play. Staff are always close by to support children. They give them time to think when asked questions and time to do things for themselves. Children make independent choices and choose whether to play indoors or outdoors. Resources are plentiful and children are respectful with equipment. They tidy away after themselves and take pride in the environment.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are exceptionally well mannered and their behaviour is impeccable. Children sit for group time when they arrive and listen intently to staff as they discuss the activities that are available during the session. All children know the rules and boundaries and adhere to them. Younger children are made to feel very welcome by the older children. Children are confident and have high levels of self-esteem. For example, they are keen to share what they enjoy at the setting with visitors and ask visitors to watch them perform gymnastics movements in the garden. Children have opportunities to exercise. For example, they play ball games and are developing their hand-to-eye coordination as they play catch. Staff understand children's individual needs. They are aware of dietary requirements and ensure a range of nutritious snacks are available for children. Children wash their own plates and cups after snack time and this is one way in which children are
