This provision is good

 Staff get to know children's individual personalities well. This helps staff establish good relationships with them. Children have positive levels of well-being and self-esteem.  There are good opportunities for children to explore and investigate how things work. For example, they use a wide range of equipment, such as remote-controlled toys.  Children develop good early mathematical skills to support their future learning. For example, they confidently count and complete simple addition and subtraction sums.  Staff establish positive relationships with parents. They help provide children with a good consistent approach to their care and learning experiences. For example, staff regularly share children's achievements and activity ideas with parents.  Staff effectively help prepare children for their move to school. For example, they teach children more-complex skills, such as recognising both lower- and upper-case letters.

This provision is good

 The manager regularly monitors the consistency of the good quality of teaching. For instance, she observes staff daily and offers them helpful advice to support their future practice. The manager highlights any training needs to help enhance their performance.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The manager and staff do not use the systems to monitor the progress of different groups of children more effectively, to enhance setting activity plans even further.  Staff miss some opportunities to encourage children to develop more independence and have a more consistent and active role in their learning opportunities and routines.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed staff interactions with children and assessed the impact on children's learning.  The inspector viewed the indoor and outdoor environments.  The inspector looked at written documentation, including a sample of policies and procedures, risk assessments and staff training records.  The inspector spoke to children, parents and staff, and took their views into consideration.  The inspector carried out a joint observation of an activity with the manager.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager and staff work effectively together to accurately evaluate their current practice. For example, staff reflect on the day's events and discuss how well the day's activities have engaged children in their learning experiences. They use feedback from children to support their future activity plans. This helps ensure that staff keep children motivated to learn. The manager and staff are keen to build on their knowledge and skills even further, such as attending beneficial training. For example, they have learned how to support children to fully understand other people's different cultural beliefs and ensure that they provide a diverse and inclusive practice. Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff have a good understanding of the safeguarding and child protection procedures. This helps them keep children safe and protect their welfare, including knowing whom to contact to raise and follow up any concerns. Children learn how to keep themselves safe.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

For instance, they learn the rules of how to cross the road safely.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The manager and staff closely monitor children's individual progress. This helps them to promptly highlight any gaps in their individual development. Staff provide children with good individual support to close the gaps and make good progress in their learning. Staff help support children to develop good communication skills. For example, staff reinforce the correct pronunciation of words respectfully. Staff build on children's spontaneous play well. For instance, children who enjoy playing with the animals are encouraged to research online to discover what sounds the different animals make, such as polar bears.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are positive role models. Children learn to be polite and they behave well. For example, they remind each other of the rules, such as 'sharing is caring'. Children learn the importance of healthy lifestyles. They are keen to exercise and know when they need to have a rest and engage in quieter activities. Children develop challenging physical skills and they confidently negotiate larger equipment, such as climbing walls. Children gain good respect and understanding of other people's similarities and differences in the wider world. For example, they dress in costumes traditional to other countries and religions, such as saris and hijabs.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children of all ages, including those who speak English as an additional language, make good progress in relation to their individual starting points. Children develop good social skills. They happily share and take turns in interesting team games, such as egg-and- spoon races. Children develop good early writing skills to support their future learning. For instance, they write their name and simple words with confidence.
