This provision is good

 Children are happy and confident. New children settle into the setting well. Staff are caring and form warm relationships with children. They are sensitive to children's needs and support their emotional well-being effectively.  Staff work with parents well. They gather useful information from parents when children first start to help plan precisely for their individual needs from the outset.  The manager implements effective self-evaluation processes and reflects well on the setting's practice. She seeks the views of others, such as the local authority, and acts on any advice, to help maintain good teaching levels and improve children's outcomes.  Children make good progress and develop the skills needed for the next stages in their learning. They have interesting opportunities to develop their creative and physical skills. For instance, they enjoy exploring moulding material and creating structures, and

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, some staff are not confident in supporting children's early literacy skills to help enhance their learning experiences. For instance, they mispronounce some sounds of letters make when helping children to hear the sounds in their name.  At times, staff's tracking of children's progress is not consistent for all areas of learning, to ensure that any gaps in their learning are quickly recognised and addressed.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager understands her responsibility to protect children and implements effective policies and procedures to ensure their welfare. Staff know how to recognise and report any signs that indicate a child may be at risk of harm. The manager knows the setting's strengths and identifies areas of weakness to help her improve children's experiences. She monitors staff's teaching skills well overall, such as through regular supervisory sessions. She offers some good opportunities for staff to develop their skills, such as through training sessions and staff meetings.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children play in an exciting, stimulating and welcoming environment. They concentrate well while they play and are keen to be involved. Older children are motivated to learn about nature. They enjoy making things for their outdoor area, such as birdfeeders and learn how to take care of wildlife. This supports them to develop their physical skills, creativity and understanding of the world. Overall, staff assess children's achievements effectively and know their key children well. They use what they know to plan experiences for them that successfully extend their learning. Children have good opportunities to learn about diversity, such as while singing rhymes in different languages with staff. This helps children develop their understanding of different people in the community as well as their language skills effectively. Staff support children well as they play. For instance, staff demonstrate how to use resources to help children learn to use them independently.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children's understanding of healthy lifestyles effectively. Children eat nutritious foods, are active and enjoy using equipment. For example, they confidently use climbing apparatus outside and develop good physical skills. Children behave well. Staff successfully share their behavioural expectations with children, such as through reminders to help children learn how to behave with others. Staff help children to develop an understanding of good hygiene practices. For instance, they teach them to wash their hands before they eat. Staff effectively assess risks in all areas that children use to identify and remove any hazards.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points. They develop their social skills well, such as interacting with others confidently. Older children communicate clearly and listen attentively. Babies and toddlers enjoy feeling and exploring textures with their hands, such as during sensory activities, and develop their hand muscles well. Children develop their mathematical skills well, such as using words to describe size.
