This provision is good

 Children benefit from a welcoming and inclusive learning environment. They settle readily, make friends and play together in harmony. Children's behaviour is good.  Staff are sensitive to the needs of babies. They help them to explore resources safely. Babies squeal happily and have space to develop their physical skills effectively.  Leaders, managers and staff check the progress of each child. When they spot gaps in children's learning, staff provide well-targeted support to help them catch up. Children make good progress in relation to their individual starting points.  Older children develop strong mathematical skills. They learn to count, relate the number of objects to corresponding numerals and write numbers independently. They confidently solve problems and make rapid progress in this area of development.  Partnerships with parents are highly effective. Staff involve parents in their children's

assessments and help them to contribute to the planning for their children's next steps.  Leaders and managers continually support and monitor staff's performance to drive improvement in practice, which helps children to reach their potential.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, some staff do not give children enough time to deepen their learning because they interrupt them to manage the routines.  At times, staff do not provide enough opportunities to help children manage tasks themselves so that they become even more independent in their learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and managers use thorough recruitment procedures to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Staff have a good knowledge of safeguarding practices and know how to keep children safe in their care. Leaders and managers monitor the progress of all children effectively. Staff attend regular training, keep up to date with new developments and use what they learn to benefit children's learning. For example, they have enhanced their teaching to help children develop the language skills to express their feelings to others. Leaders and managers take into account the views of staff, parents and others, which helps to develop their service. They work well with relevant agencies to seek the right support for children that require additional help. Parents are delighted with the good progress and care their children receive from this caring team.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff observe children closely and evaluate what they need to learn next. They plan and provide a range of activities to enthuse children to learn. Staff motivate children and they are interested to learn. For example, they roll, pat and cut play dough into different shapes and decorate them with glitter to give them a shiny effect. Staff encourage children to use their imaginations while they work. Staff promote children's interest in early literacy. They thoroughly enjoy listening to stories, talk about favourite pictures and characters and keenly offer their ideas about what might happen next. Staff teach children about rhythm and rhyme. Children learn new songs and explore sounds that musical instruments make. Children are keen to show their work to staff, which they praise, building children's self-esteem.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children's social and emotional skills effectively. For example, they talk to children in a calm manner and help them understand right from wrong. Children learn to share resources fairly, take turns and respect the views of others. Staff help children adopt healthy lifestyles. For example, children know they need to wash their hands to reduce the risk of infection. They taste different fruits and vegetables and talk about their favourite flavours and textures. They enjoy outdoor play, fresh air and exercise. For instance, older children enjoy playing with a parachute and learn to move their bodies and negotiate space safely. Staff undertake thorough and regular checks on the premises and resources to eliminate any risks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and any gaps in their learning are closing. Babies acquire new words and learn to socialise with others. Children listen attentively and respond appropriately to requests. Older children look after their belongings. They know letters and sounds and write their names correctly. Children are learning about the world around them, such as understanding plants need water and sun to grow. They are well prepared for the next stages of their learning and development, including starting school.
