p.1

This provision is good

 Staff offer a welcoming and inclusive learning environment. Children settle readily into daily routines and make friends with which to play. Their behaviour is good.  Leaders and staff check children's progress effectively, and provide well-targeted support to help close any gaps in their learning. All children make good progress in relation to their individual starting points.  Staff are sensitive to the needs of babies. Babies explore resources safely. They learn new words, smile and squeal happily.  Staff have detailed information about the progress that individual children make. They share this information with parents to support children's ongoing learning and development, in the provision and at home.  Leaders continually monitor and improve the quality of the provision, to help secure good outcomes for all children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, staff do not support children’s thinking and speaking skills well enough. For example, they ask children to choose favourite songs, but do not give them enough time to respond.  At times, staff do not encourage children to become even more independent and manage tasks for themselves, such as tidying away resources.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Leaders undertake the necessary checks on all staff to ensure that they are suitable to work with children. Staff have a good understanding of how to keep children safe and ensure their welfare. Leaders observe staff and give them constructive feedback to help them improve their practice. Staff attend regular training to strengthen their skills and enhance children's learning. For example, they develop children's knowledge of their own culture, and of other people and their communities. Staff work effectively with relevant agencies and providers to ensure continuity and progression in children's learning. Leaders act on the views of staff, parents, children and outside professionals to provide a good service. Parents are pleased with the good care and support their children receive and of the good progress that their children make.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gain relevant information from parents about what their children know, can do and need to learn next. They use this information, along with their ongoing observations, to provide interesting experiences to meet children's individual learning needs and interests. Staff explain activities well to children. Children are well motivated and excited to learn. For example, they eagerly experiment with vinegar and bicarbonate of soda, and observe how ingredients change when combined. They use their creativity well as they roll, pat and cut play dough into different shapes. Babies join in with rhymes and older children listen attentively and talk about their favourite pictures in storybooks.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models for children. For instance, they provide clear guidance about what is acceptable behaviour. Children learn to share resources fairly, take turns and consider the views of others. Babies learn to socialise. Staff help children adopt healthy living and meet their dietary requirements well. For example, children understand the importance of personal hygiene to reduce the risk of infection. They know that water and fruit are good for them. Children engage well in activities outdoors and use equipment, such as bicycles and scooters, with care. Staff check the premises and resources regularly, to ensure children can engage in both indoor and outdoor activities safely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop good skills for their future learning and their move to school. Babies try musical instruments and explore the sounds they make. Older children recognise letters and sounds, and can write their names correctly. They count, sort and match objects, and learn to solve problems. Children know that plants need water and sunlight to grow.
