This provision is good

 The manager reflects on the setting's practice well, recognising its strengths and areas to develop. He acts on the advice of others, such as other early years professionals, to help improve practice and children's outcomes. For instance, he has successfully raised quality of practice to good levels, following the advice from the last inspection.  Children benefit from staff's effective partnership with parents. Staff regularly share information with parents about children's development and involve them in their learning in the setting and at home to maintain their good levels of progress.  Staff provide a broad range of experiences to help children learn about each other's backgrounds. Children develop mutual respect for others and value others' differences.  Children make good progress and develop the necessary skills for their next steps in learning and for their move to school.

skills. For instance, children manage their personal needs well, including serving themselves food and drink carefully at mealtimes, and learn to be responsible.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The manager does not use his existing monitoring systems fully to check the progress of different groups of children, to promptly identify and address any emerging learning needs.  At times, staff do not encourage children to explore a range of simple technology to help them develop their skills and learning further.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager understands his responsibility to protect children and implements effective policies and procedures to support their welfare. Staff know how to recognise and report any signs that indicate a child may be at risk of harm. The manager monitors staff's practice well and reflects on the quality of their practice effectively to help maintain good teaching levels. He offers good opportunities for staff to develop their skills, such as through regular training sessions and staff meetings. The manager and staff communicate effectively with other agencies working with children to help support consistency in their care and learning experiences.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff assess children's achievements accurately and know their key children well. They make regular observations of what children can do and plan suitably challenging activities to support their good development. Children play confidently in a stimulating, well- organised, interesting environment that helps to support all areas of learning generally well. Children are keen to explore the resources and concentrate well. They enjoy imaginative experiences, such as while pretending to be builders in the role-play area. They learn to think of ideas and create a story while they play, while developing their creative thinking. Staff teach children well. For instance, they successfully adapt their interactions, including using gestures to support children's understanding, to cater for children's varying abilities and needs effectively.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are caring and friendly, and form warm bonds with children. They are sensitive to children's needs and support their emotional well-being effectively. Staff teach children well about how to be healthy, such as by offering nutritious foods. Children have good opportunities to be active. For example, during football lessons, they learn new skills, such as how to kick a ball and move their body confidently. Children behave well. Staff are consistent in their approach to managing their behaviour. For instance, they act as good role models, helping children to have good manners and be polite. Staff regularly assess risks in all areas that children use, to identify and remove any hazards.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress from their starting points and develop skills that support their next stage of learning. Children interact and communicate with others confidently. For example, babies babble happily while they play and toddlers learn to use words in context. Older children develop good physical skills, such as using tools with control to paint. They learn to recognise their name and that text in the environment carries meaning.
