This provision is good

 The manager is highly skilled and experienced and leads her well-qualified staff team with genuine commitment and enthusiasm. Staff are dedicated and passionate about their roles as early years practitioners and strive to improve the quality of the setting to an outstanding level.  Staff provide children with a wide range of exciting and challenging activities and resources in a rich, stimulating learning environment. Children are confident, imaginative and motivated learners. They make good progress in their learning.  The key-person system is well established and effective. Children develop close emotional attachments with staff and a strong sense of emotional security. Care practices are successful in helping to promote children's good health and well-being.  Overall, partnerships with parents and other early years providers are good and help to promote consistency and continuity of care and learning for all children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not consistently use the information gained from monitoring groups of children to close any gaps in achievement and to build on good systems for observation overall.  Staff do not consistently seek detailed information from parents when children first attend the setting to help them gain a deeper understanding of children's starting points.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Detailed policies and procedures are consistently implemented and underpin daily practice. Staff have a secure knowledge and understanding of the reporting requirements should they have concerns about the welfare of a child. The manager and room leaders observe staff practice and use effective supervision and support to monitor their performance. The manager is committed to helping staff to gain further formal qualifications and enhance their continuous professional development to improve their skills. She has a good knowledge and understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the setting and uses ongoing self-evaluation effectively to prioritise areas for improvement. This helps to ensure that the quality of teaching and learning outcomes for children continue to improve.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide children with an extensive range of resources and experiences that helps to promote their creative and imaginative skills. For example, older children take on the role of doctor and patient in the role play doctor's surgery. They examine the dolls to find out what why they are ill and pretend to give injections. Children confidently explain that, 'The doll has chickenpox'. Younger children are involved in an activity where they collect lots of blue objects from around the setting. They put them in a basket with their favourite cuddly toy to find out what will happen. Children wait in anticipation for the member of staff to take off the blanket covering the basket. Their faces light up with excitement when they discover that the toy has changed colour from green to blue. Children are thoroughly engrossed in their play and learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are very happy and well settled in the setting. Staff teach children to adopt a can- do attitude and encourage them to do things for themselves whenever possible. They help children develop high levels of independence as they manage their own personal care needs in readiness for school. Staff are very good role models and play alongside children to teach them to understand how to share and take turns. They help children to develop a secure understanding of acceptable behaviour.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress. This includes children whose starting points are below expected levels of development and children for whom the provider receives funding. Some children achieve beyond the levels of development typical for their ages. Children develop good literacy skills in readiness for school. For example, they confidently write prescriptions and appointments for their patients in the role play doctor's surgery.
