p.1

This provision is good

 Leaders and managers use their extensive knowledge of how to promote children's good health, to maximum effect. Opportunities for children to learn about healthy lifestyles are superb. They understand ways to help keep themselves safe, fostering their well-being.  Partnership working with parents and other professionals is a key strength of the provision and is highly effective in supporting children's welfare and their learning.  Children share very supportive relationships with their key person. Their emotional security is extremely well fostered. Children settle quickly and gain in self-confidence.  Staff make regular assessments of children's learning and plan next steps for their development. Managers monitor the quality of teaching and the progress of different groups of children. They highlight gaps in learning and seek to close these quickly.  Children make independent choices about their play in the stimulating indoor learning

environment. They play cooperatively with each other. Staff play alongside children, asking questions and modelling new words to support their language development.  Leaders and managers demonstrate desire to drive forward continuous improvement. Staff attend regular training and future development plans are meaningful.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, during group activities staff do not always provide maximum levels of challenge to extend the learning of the more able children taking part.  Opportunities for children to maximise their own ideas and extend their interests in the outdoor environment are not yet fully robust.

She spoke to a number of parents and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and managers cascade their extensive knowledge of safeguarding to staff and other providers in the locality. Staff have a secure understanding of the correct procedures to follow in the event of a concern, supporting children's welfare. Effective risk assessments maintain a safe environment. Managers employ safer recruiting procedures and monitor the ongoing suitability of staff. They confidently seek additional support from other professionals, when required, to support children's learning. Managers share information well with other settings that children attend. This contributes to providing continuity of care and complementary learning. Comments from parents are very positive about the quality of the provision.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan a wide range of enjoyable activities that captures children's enthusiasm for learning. Children eagerly join in with rhyme-time sessions and action songs. This helps to promote their language skills and their physical development. Young children enjoy interacting with puppets of characters from a story. This helps to maintain their engagement and contributes to promoting their literacy skills. Children concentrate as they mix baking ingredients together. Staff encourage them to talk about what is happening as the textures combine. This helps to support their critical thinking. Children consider relative sizes of objects which helps to foster their mathematical development. They delight in looking closely at differences and similarities of plastic bugs using a magnifying glass. Staff encourage children to count as they explore and compare the number of legs on each insect. This contributes to building their mathematical skills. Babies and toddlers

investigate a wealth of activities to help support their sensory development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Leaders and managers recognise and value the unique personal qualities of children and families. They respect home routines, fostering children's individual care very effectively. Children experience a wide range of highly stimulating cardiovascular activities. These help to foster their physical development extremely well. For example, children exercise in the fresh air, practising rugby skills and they are learning to swim. Staff are positive role models and have high expectations of children's behaviour. They use explanation very successfully to promote resilience and self-esteem. New children are very well supported. They gain confidence quickly from attentive staff. Children's self-care skills are promoted extremely well. They are learning about ways to look after their own body. For example, monitoring whether they need to drink more fluids to keep well hydrated.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who speak English as an additional language and those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress in their learning. Children are motivated and curious. They listen and get involved. Children are gaining skills that will support them in their future learning, including moving on to school.
