All children make good progress in their learning and development, from their skills and capabilities on entry.  The setting has a homely feel. Children are confident, very happy and settled. They form close bonds with long serving, attentive staff who know them well. Children receive individual care and support, which helps them to feel safe and secure.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Systems used to gather ongoing information from parents about children's development are not always successful.  Staff do not always consider the different ages and abilities of children during group activities. Not all children are fully involved and engaged. Inspection report: Jack-In-A-Box Playgroup and Bee'Z Nee'Z Out Of School Club, 22 September 2017 2 of 5

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff demonstrate a thorough knowledge of child protection procedures and know how to respond to concerns about children's welfare. Staff are deployed effectively and supervise children well. The management team provides good support and mentoring for staff. This helps them to build on staff's existing knowledge and skills. Staff are highly qualified and use regular training to continue to meet children's needs. For example, recent training has helped staff to further promote children's communication and language skills. Staff evaluate what they do and think about ways to improve practice. For example, they have recently reviewed the snack time routine and children now have more opportunities to develop their independence skills. Leaders and staff monitor individual children's progress. Regular observations and assessments are used to identify any gaps in children's learning. Parents' comments demonstrate that they

are extremely happy with the good level of care and education that children receive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide interesting ways for children to develop writing skills. For example, they make marks and form recognisable letters in coloured sand. Older girls capably recognise colours. They complete puzzles of skyscrapers and buildings and match different shapes to the corresponding spaces. Younger children have fun exploring the consistency of dry rice and the smooth feel of conkers. Boys use descriptive language to describe the textures as staff ask purposeful questions. Children use mathematical language, such as full and empty as they fill toy trucks with the rice. They demonstrate good dexterity and concentration as they persevere to pick up the conkers using tweezers.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide healthy snacks and advise parents about suitable packed lunch options. This contributes towards children's physical well-being. Children learn excellent social skills. They eat together in the designated dining room. This helps to prepare them in readiness for school. They enjoy regular opportunities to be active outdoors. Staff take children on many outings in the local community. These opportunities, along with the implementation of positive hygiene routines, contribute towards children's physical health. Staff share information with local school teachers. This helps to provide a cohesive approach for older children who attend both settings. Consistent rules are promoted by staff and children behave very well in relation to their age and stage of development.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Younger children are prepared well for future learning. They are happy, confident and independent learners. Children develop strong friendships. They play cooperatively together with children of different ages. For example, they carefully wrap bandages around each other in the role-play doctor's surgery. Older children write prescriptions on clipboards. They confidently communicate which medication they have prescribed for the patient. Children demonstrate many skills needed for the eventual move to school. Inspection report: Jack-In-A-Box Playgroup and Bee'Z Nee'Z Out Of School Club, 22 September 2017 4 of 5
