This provision is good

 Staff support children's play well and help them to develop a wide range of skills that complements their learning at pre-school and school. Staff take account of children's interests when they plan activities and ensure they have access to a good selection of resources.  An effective key-person system ensures staff meet the individual needs of each child and their family. Staff have a very caring approach and continually promote children's emotional well-being.  The partnerships with parents are strong. Staff consistently share information about children's experiences at the setting. Parents comment positively on the high-quality care and the wide range of play activities.  Staff provide very clear expectations for children. They show care and concern for everyone and children copy their example. Children's behaviour is consistently good.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not make the most of developing children's independence skills in some daily routines to further engage and motivate them.  Although staff have attended training, such as safeguarding, the management team has not fully considered other professional development to expand staff's knowledge and skills even further.

She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the setting.  The inspector spoke to a number of parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff demonstrate a sound knowledge of child protection issues. They know the procedures to follow if they have any concerns for a child's welfare. Staff carry out effective risk assessments to minimise hazards as they set up each day. The management team uses efficient procedures when recruiting, inducting and supporting the staff to ensure they remain suitable for their roles. For example, staff have regular supervision meetings and annual appraisals to discuss their performance. There are effective procedures to evaluate the quality of provision and this includes gaining the views of parents and children. The managers have identified further areas to develop, to ensure the service continues to meet the needs of the children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children learn to speak with confidence and to listen carefully to each other. During group times they talk about their experiences at home, such as building a sledge and making a snowman. Staff promote children's understanding of the seasons, linking in with what children are doing at pre-school and school. They ask children how they know it is spring. Children respond with lots of suggestions, such as new baby animals and daffodils. Staff plan effectively to deliver a wide range of interesting play-based experiences and activities. For example, children are helped to develop their small-muscle skills doing threading activities. They are fascinated with numbers and staff encourage them to add these together. Children particularly enjoy playing a number matching game where they recognise written numbers.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy at the setting. They grow in confidence and interact freely with adults. They form friendships with other children. Staff understand each child and meet their care needs well. They praise the children for their achievements and listen to what they have to say. Children understand and adopt healthy habits, such as good hygiene practices. They learn about healthy eating and take part in activities, such as tasting different fruits and vegetables. This has led them to appreciate raw carrots and they can freely access these, along with different fruits in a fruit bowl. Children take exercise either outdoors or in a designated area of the hall, and have areas where they can take a rest if needed. They learn about their own and other people's similarities and differences and have good levels of respect.
