p.1

This provision is good

 The environment is welcoming, bright and well resourced. Staff are friendly and caring. They are sensitive to children's differing developmental needs. Children enjoy attending. They build positive relationships with staff and settle quickly.  Overall, teaching is good and the curriculum is broad. Staff know children well. They plan activities that meet children's learning needs and promote their good progress.  The pre-school special educational needs coordinator is knowledgeable. This helps to ensure any children requiring additional help benefit from appropriate levels of support.  Staff find out about and value children's home lives, cultures and languages particularly well. They help children learn about their similarities and differences in many ways. Children learn about the importance of tolerance, acceptance and respect.  Partnership working is excellent.

professionals and other providers to help foster children's care and learning. Children benefit from strong continuity between the setting, home and other settings they attend.  Managers reflect carefully on the quality of the provision. They identify the pre-school's strengths and key areas for development. This helps them to maintain good standards.

She also checked evidence of the suitability of staff working in the pre-school.  The inspector spoke to children and parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff successfully implement a range of records, documents and policies that helps to support their safety and welfare practice. Managers complete risk assessments of the environment and staff check the toys, resources and equipment daily. Managers and staff have a sound understanding of child protection issues and know how to handle different types of concerns. This helps to keep children safe. The majority of staff are well qualified. Managers supervise staff effectively. Staff benefit from observations of their practice, supervisory meetings and many training opportunities. This has a positive impact on the quality of service they provide overall.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff routinely observe and assess children's development. They make good use of the information they obtain to provide a range of activities, particularly inside, that helps to extend children's learning and build on their skills. For example, younger children enjoy using small-world play characters, houses and vehicles to play make-believe games. Older children enjoy using natural materials, such as sand or mud, to pretend they are cooking. Staff interact with children at their level; they add explanations to their learning and show them how to use the props or resources available. This helps to build on their creative and imaginative skills. Overall, managers have a good overview of children's progress as individuals, which helps to ensure all children continually progress well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff nurture children and promote their emotional well-being. They make effective use of registration times to remind children of the pre-school golden rules. Staff value children's efforts and celebrate their achievements. Children display good levels of self-worth. Staff help children learn about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. For example, they provide healthy snacks and talk to children about the benefits of a good diet. Staff promote good hygiene routines. Children quickly establish independence in managing their personal care needs. Staff also encourage exercise. Children delight in using obstacle courses inside and a range of physical play equipment outside. This enables them to practise their skills in climbing, balancing and negotiating different spaces.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and motivated learners who are equipped with all the skills they need to progress on to the next stage of their learning and eventually school. For example, children develop strong skills in communication, language and literacy. Children enjoy sharing stories with staff and singing familiar songs. They learn to express themselves in different ways. Children learn to play well with others. They can share and take turns with minimal support. Overall, all children make good progress in their learning, including those in receipt of additional funding. Children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language progress well from where they started.
