It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally staff miss opportunities to exchange information with parents about their child's experiences.  Although most staff routinely attend a wide range of relevant training to further improve and broaden their skills in meeting children's needs, not all have this opportunity.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff know how to recognise the different types of abuse and the signs that a child's welfare is at risk. They have a secure understanding of what to do in the event of a concern about a child's welfare. The qualified manager monitors staff effectively and supports them well. Staff know the children, their families and individual home situations well. They share information about children's changing needs and adjust how they support each child accordingly. The manager and staff work well as a team. Staff recruitment and induction procedures are good. Staff have completed appropriate safeguarding and first-aid training. This helps them to keep children safe from harm.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff set out a good range of inviting and relevant activities ready for children when they arrive at the start of the session. For example, children can select from art and craft activities, writing, reading, role play and physical exercise. Children swiftly settle to an activity and enjoy playing alongside their friends. They are well supported and encouraged by staff. The younger children enjoy playing with construction materials and build models of their favourite animals. Children confidently discuss their models with staff and playfully demonstrate how the parts move. Older children bring their workbooks from school and are keen to share what they have done earlier. They proudly read their own work out to staff. Staff listen attentively. They encourage children to persist with their task and praise their efforts. Children of all ages have good opportunities to enjoy the fresh air and take exercise. Staff help children to be caring and considerate towards each other. The older

children are kind to the younger ones. They happily include them in their running and ball games.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children well to respect and appreciate each other's similarities and differences. For example, children are encouraged to talk about their plans for the forthcoming school holiday. Children are interested in what their friends have to say. They listen politely when others are speaking and confidently contribute when it is their turn. Staff help support children's growing independence. For example, they involve children in helping to prepare snacks and to set the table. This builds children's self-esteem and confidence effectively. Children enjoy making their own sandwiches and select from a good range of healthy options, including cheese and fruit.
