p.1

This provision is good

 The provider has taken prompt action to address actions raised at the last inspection. She implements effective improvement plans to target weaker areas of provision to raise the quality. The provider and staff team reflect on practice to identify future improvements and secure the continued development of the provision.  Staff are well supported in their role.

staff about what they like to do. Staff show children that they value their ideas. They take on board children’s suggestions when planning the learning environment.  Staff are consistent when managing children’s behaviour. They give children positive messages about their expectations and support children to develop good social skills.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not make the most of opportunities to talk to children about risks in the environment or help them to learn to identify and manage risks for themselves.  Occasionally, staff do not adapt their teaching to children’s different ages and stages of development to extend all children’s learning during group activities.

She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the setting.  The inspector spoke to a number of parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure understanding of how to respond to concerns they have about children’s welfare. The provider follows secure recruitment procedures to ensure that only those suitable to work with children do so. She regularly checks on staff’s continued suitability to work with children. The provider works effectively in partnership with other professionals to support children’s welfare and learning. They exchange information with each other to ensure children’s specific needs are met. Staff are keen to take on extra responsibility to improve key aspects of children’s learning. They review the effectiveness of these areas of the provision, such as children’s learning of literacy and mathematics. Staff check the opportunities available to children and the progress they make. Staff attend training and complete independent research to improve experiences for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff respond well to children’s changing interests. They join in with children’s self-chosen activities to enhance their learning. Staff encourage children to think critically and work out how to balance some blocks. They introduce counting and positional language to extend children’s understanding. Staff work effectively in partnership with parents. They share information with parents about children’s development. Where concerns are identified, they work closely together so that children’s learning is continued at home. Children’s early literacy development is promoted well. They enjoy sharing books with staff. They excitedly contribute their ideas when staff ask them questions about what they see. Children readily access materials to practise their drawing and writing skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are warm, friendly and polite. This helps children to settle quickly and feel secure. Staff praise children for their achievements. Children are motivated and eager learners who demonstrate strong self-esteem. Children learn to share and take turns with their friends. They listen to staff and follow their instructions. Children are provided with healthy, home-cooked food to eat. Mealtimes are sociable and provide opportunities for children to reflect on their day. Children have opportunities to develop their physical skills. Outdoors, they use tools for digging in the sand. They push themselves along in small cars and manoeuvre around obstacles. Children are willing helpers to move and roll large objects to rearrange the environment and continue their interests outdoors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress given their starting points. Staff place a high importance on supporting children’s social and emotional, and communication and language development. Some children progress quickly in these areas. This helps children to be prepared to take on the challenges in their future learning, such as school. Children become confident and develop positive attitudes to learning. Children concentrate well and engage in activities for prolonged periods as they explore and investigate.
