p.1

This provision is good

 The manager supports staff well to use their training to benefit the children. This has led to staff enthusiastically engaging babies more through sensitive interactions.  Relationships between staff provide good role models for the children and babies, and influence their good behaviour, manners and consideration towards one another.  Staff build on children's and babies' confidence and sense of belonging well. They constantly praise children for their success and achievements. Staff have strong relationships with the babies. They are very sensitive and responsive to their needs.  Children develop a good understanding of diversity beyond their immediate family. For example, the environment has positive cultural images and dual-language books. Children enjoy learning to sing and speak in Spanish, and learn about different festivals.  All babies and children make good progress in their learning and development from

their starting points. Staff effectively enhance children's understanding and speaking skills. For example, they clearly emphasise key words and use some signing during their discussions with children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Although the manager monitors individual children's progress well, this is not as effective to track different groups of children, to identify trends and close any gaps in learning promptly.  Sometimes, staff miss opportunities to support children's growing independence and self-help skills, so they have opportunities to do things themselves.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

 strengthen the monitoring of groups of children's progress, to identify gaps in areas of learning and development more precisely  make the most of all opportunities to consistently support children's growing independence and enable them to do things themselves.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching and children's activities, completed a joint observation with the manager and held discussions about children's progress and learning.  The inspector held conversations with the manager, staff and children throughout the inspection.  The inspector checked evidence of staff suitability checks and their qualifications, and sampled relevant policies and procedures.  The inspector took into account the views of the parents during the inspection.  The inspector observed staff planning, and the children's assessment records.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager accurately evaluates the provision. She includes the views of parents and children to help identify areas for further improvement. For example, they have effectively adjusted daily routines to enhance opportunities for children and babies to lead their own play, following their current interests. The manager continually improves the quality of staff practice, for example, by organising relevant training and individual support to raise standards in teaching. Safeguarding is effective. The management and staff keep their safeguarding knowledge up to date and are fully aware of current legislation. They understand their role in child protection and know the reporting process to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather detailed information from parents about children's interests and development at home. They use this well to help them build on children's learning experiences. Staff accurately assess individual children's levels of development and effectively plan for their next steps in learning in partnership with parents. Staff provide children with good opportunities to think for themselves and share their ideas further. For instance, they challenge children in their play to consider gender differences and gender stereotypes, giving clear explanations and drawing upon the children's real-life experiences, to help them form positive and respectful views of themselves and others. Staff teach mathematics well. For example, they effectively challenge children to solve problems, compare sizes and count objects within their play experiences.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff help children to develop their awareness of healthy lifestyles. For example, they provide nutritious snacks and meals, and engage children in conversations about healthy food choices. Babies and children are happy and settled in the welcoming environment. Staff organise space and rooms well to enable children to follow their interests and lead their own play across all areas of learning and development. All children are encouraged to be polite and have a good understanding of sharing and taking turns.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the skills needed for their future learning and move to school. For example, they learn to give meanings to the marks they make, and older children identify and write some letters from their own names. Children and babies play and explore cooperatively together. They confidently communicate their needs and ideas during their play experiences. For example, older children negotiate where they are going on their make-believe train and what to buy once they get there. Children have a good sense of belonging in their own community and enjoy weekly visits to the local library with staff.
