This provision is good

 The provider is ambitious and communicates high expectations to staff. She evaluates the provision effectively to help identify any weaknesses and improve the quality of care children receive. Children enjoy the newly planned, exciting range of play opportunities available.  Partnership with parents are effective. Staff talk to parents every day about their children and keep them updated with regular written information.  The provider monitors and improves staff practice well. Staff have regular supervisory sessions and have opportunities for further training, to help support their professional development. Staff use their updated skills to manage children's behaviour more effectively and use different ideas to help children understand their emotions.  Staff have good relationships with children and children are happy and independent. Good hygiene practices are followed and children help with routines, such as tidying

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not take all opportunities to support and develop children's understanding of the importance of a healthy lifestyle.  Although staff keep children safe, there are occasions when they do not always help children to develop a deeper understanding of the need for safety, particularly when walking from school to the setting.

The inspector also discussed how staff work with parents and other providers.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. Staff know what signs may alert them to children who may be at risk of extreme views and behaviours. Staff help keep children safe. For example, they carry out thorough risk assessments of the premises and when collecting children from school. The manager and staff observe children when they start, to help meet their individual needs. Staff liaise effectively with schools to find out about children's abilities and interests, to help complement their learning further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff find out important information from parents when children start, to help plan for their individual needs. Staff share children's ongoing learning with parents. For example, staff compile books with children's work and add photographs to show what children are interested in and enjoy the most. Staff provide interesting activities to support children's imaginations well. For instance, children enjoy the vibrant Valentine's party and make Valentine's cards. Staff encourage children to develop their social skills. They mix with their existing friends and engage with new friends, helping to strengthen their confidence and independence. Children move with confidence and rhythm during dancing and singing activities to celebrate the end of term. They listen and respond to ideas expressed by others and follow instructions. Children enjoy playing with small-world models, such as the farm and garage. Staff support children's creativity well. For instance, children manipulate

jelly using different tools and enjoy experimenting with different textures. Children enjoy drawing and writing, as they use their thoughts and ideas to create different pictures.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff use initiatives, such as the 'golden table', to help children develop their self-esteem, negotiate and solve problems for themselves. Children enjoy the experience of staff acting as waiters and having food served at their table. Children learn about the world around them and develop an understanding of different cultural festivals celebrated. Staff encourage children to care for others in the community. For example, children prepare desserts and offer them to residents of the homeless night shelter. Staff plan trips for children to visit and meet elderly people at the local care home, and help children understand people's differing needs and experiences in life.
