p.1

This provision is good

 The manager and staff work well together. They evaluate their practice and the organisation of the setting to reflect on how well they support children's learning needs. They regularly seek the views of the parents to support their evaluation. For example, parents complete questionnaires to share their views.  Staff support children to gain independence. For example, children help to prepare their snack and they make their own choices about what they would like to play with.  Children are confident and motivated to learn. They develop good language and communication skills. All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, become confident communicators.  The manager and staff develop good relationships with the parents. Parents say that the staff know their children extremely well and children are happy to go to pre-school. Parents report that their families and children are well supported.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, during some adult-led activities, staff do not consistently offer children a high level of challenge, to help them to make the best possible progress.  Staff do not consistently keep parents informed about their children's individual next steps in learning, to help them to further support their children's learning at home.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager and staff have a good understanding of their role and responsibility to keep the children safe. They have a good knowledge of the local procedures that they should follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff work very closely with other professionals to support children's individual care needs and to close gaps in children's learning. The manager monitors the staff's practice effectively and staff are well supported in their roles. For example, they have access to training to support their ongoing professional development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gain a good understanding of the children's needs. They work closely with parents to get a good insight into what children can already do when they start at the pre-school. For example, they learn about children's likes, interests and development to help them to plan for their next steps in learning. Staff are skilled at playing alongside children and extending their learning. For example, they use children's interests to encourage them to talk about similarities and differences between different breeds of sharks. Staff use their observations effectively. They monitor children's learning and make regular assessments to support their planning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well for their ages and are encouraged to resolve conflicts with their peers independently. Staff ensure that children are well supported with the move on to school. For example, they plan opportunities for the children to take part in events at the local schools and they have visits from the teachers. This helps children to feel emotionally secure and well prepared for the move. Children form good friendships with their peers and enjoy using their imagination. For example, they play together making picnics for the dolls using role-play toys and play dough. Staff help children to learn about being healthy and having healthy lifestyles. For instance, they talk about fruit at snack time and how it is good for their bodies. Children benefit from using the outdoor space when they choose to, and staff help them to recognise the effect that exercise has on their bodies. For example, children talk about getting sweaty and needing to drink lots of water after running around.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and motivated learners. They acquire key skills that will support them with the next stage in their learning and the eventual move on to school. For example, children concentrate and stay focused for long periods while they work together to free the toy dinosaurs from blocks of ice.
