p.1

This provision is good

 The provider effectively leads a committed staff team. Staff work well together to provide a stimulating learning environment and deliver interesting learning opportunities for all children.  Teaching is of good quality. Staff provide a wide range of learning experiences to motivate and engage children's interests and they mostly engage well in children's play to support their learning.  They key-person system works well to promote secure attachments and trusting relationships between staff and children. This helps children grow in confidence and motivates them to explore and try new experiences.  Staff exchange information with parents regularly and they engage well with other professionals to support children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities.  The provider offers good levels of support for staff and she manages their performance and professional development well. The quality of teaching is consistently good.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always give children time and space to think and contribute their own ideas during activities.  Some parents have been unable to access information about their children's learning and progress and so they are unclear of how best to continue to support their children at home.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider and staff have a secure understanding of their responsibility to protect children from possible harm and the procedures to follow should they have a concern. There are effective systems for observation, assessment and planning. These are closely monitored by the management team to ensure that all children make consistently good progress. Staff have regular supervisory sessions, which the manager uses effectively to identify further training and development needs, which has a positive impact on the quality of the provision. The provider is currently attending training about outdoor learning and she is using this well to further enhance children's learning experiences. Staff provide parents with daily feedback about their children's general well- being and they hold parents' consultation evenings periodically throughout the year to update them on their children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are knowledgeable of the needs of young children and they understand how to support their learning to enable them to make good progress and close any gaps. This helps all children, including those who receive additional funding and children who have SEN and/or disabilities. Children's language development is fostered well throughout the setting. Young children have good opportunities to develop their exploratory skills as they engage in different messy play activities and explore with different malleable materials, such as lentils, shaving foam and Brussel sprouts. Older children enjoy many opportunities to practise their early writing skills in the indoor and outdoor learning environments. Staff working with younger children are enthusiastic and animated in their engagements with children.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff promote children's physical health well. They ensure that children take part in daily rigorous exercise and get plenty of fresh air. Children also enjoy freshly cooked nutritious meals, which they enjoy and eat well. Staff are positive role models. They set good examples to children about how to behave and children listen to, and respond well to, staff as they sensitively guide their behaviour. Children are well behaved and develop good social skills as they learn to play cooperatively together.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in preparation for the next stages in their learning. Most children achieve the typical levels of development for their ages and children who need additional support benefit from targeted teaching to help them catch up. Children are confident communicators, who enjoy engaging in meaningful dialogue with staff and each other as they excitedly talk about their personal experiences and backgrounds.
