This provision is good

 Children enjoy their time at the setting. They receive a warm welcome by staff when they arrive and form positive relationships with both staff and other children.  Staff are very good at supporting children's independence during routines and activities. As a result, they grow in confidence and develop a sense of responsibility.  Children take part in a good range of interesting activities. The manager involves staff and children in the planning of these during the sessions. She encourages children to express their views and interests.  Recently improved procedures ensure children cannot leave the premises unsupervised are very well understood and adhered to by all staff.  Partnership with parents is very good. Staff actively work with parents to make sure that they can meet the individual needs of all children who attend the setting. Leaders seek out parents’ views when evaluating and improving the quality of the provision.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not support children's experiences effectively enough at times, so that they have consistent opportunities to be engaged in meaningful activities.  Staff do not make the best use of available resources in the outdoor environment consistently, so that children can engage in a wider range of interesting activities.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Leaders and staff work very well in partnership with parents. They provide parents with feedback on a daily basis about the activities their children have been involved in, and their general well-being during the session. Staff work very effectively with parents to make sure that any children with specific health needs or dietary requirements are well supported. This includes gathering detailed information about children when they first start and keeping abreast with any changes on an ongoing basis. Leaders hold regular meetings with staff, where they receive feedback about their practice. Leaders make sure that all essential training is kept up to date. Safeguarding is effective. The provider completes thorough checks on staff to assess their suitability to work with children when they start and on an ongoing basis. Staff have current knowledge and understanding of child protection issues, including how to recognise signs a child could be at risk of online

sexual exploitation. There is a clear and visible policy in place for reporting any concerns about children’s welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children clearly enjoy their time at the setting. They are able to contribute to the planning of their learning because the manager asks for their views on a weekly basis. For example, children were keen to have Halloween themed activities and were able to choose from a range of planned activities during the session. Some children enjoyed baking and decorating their own Halloween cupcakes, while others took part in a creative spider web making activity. The manager and staff regularly review practice to make sure they are effective in meeting all children’s needs. Staff interact positively with children. They encourage children to express themselves during activities and at snack times, showing a genuine interest in their thoughts and ideas. Children have plenty of opportunities to support their physical development outdoors. Staff join in with their games, suggesting ideas to enhance their experiences and ensuring they play safely. For example, they

create a track for children to follow when riding on the 'dinky carts', and ensure they take it in turns.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff make sure that the areas where children play are clean, safe and free from hazards. Children form positive relationships with each other and behave very well. Staff promote good behaviour and encourage children to be kind to each other. For example, each staff member awards a child 'Star of the Day' and explains to the group what those children have done to earn this title. This provides children with a sense of achievement. Staff encourage children's independence skills extremely well. For example, they fill and make their wraps and sandwiches, or spread toppings on crackers from a range of ingredients. Children are very well supported in learning how to keep themselves healthy and safe. For example, many children routinely wash their hands without prompting before snack time. They know the rules when playing outside, for instance, that they must wear high-visibility jackets so they can be seen clearly by staff.
