This provision is good

 The manager constantly reflects on the quality of the provision. She has made targeted improvements which enhance children's learning experiences and improve their good outcomes. She is supported well by dedicated and knowledgeable senior staff members.  Parents praise the care their children receive and say their children are happy, settled and make good progress. Their views are regularly sought by the manager and used effectively to further develop the care their children receive. Partnerships with parents are strong and children benefit from continuity in their learning.  Children enjoy using a wide range of interesting and stimulating resources. Children independently access their resources and are eager, self-motivated learners.  The effective key-person system supports children's emotional well-being. Children flourish with the support of warm, caring and enthusiastic staff.  Staff carefully observe children and their interests. They use this information to plan

interesting activities which support children in what they need to learn next.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 While the manager does track the progress of individual children well, the progress of groups of children is not so effectively identified. This means, overall, children's progress is not tracked as effectively as possible.  On occasion, some staff do not recognise how to support children as effectively as possible to enable children to complete their activities to their own satisfaction.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed different activities, including for outdoor learning, and assessed the impact on children's learning.  The inspector undertook a joint observation with the manager.  The inspector held a meeting with the manager and assistant manager.  The inspector looked at a selection of policies, children's records and documents relating to the suitability of staff. She discussed self-evaluation with the manager and assistant manager.  The inspector talked to staff, children and parents to gather their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager ensures that staff are confident in their understanding of the signs and symptoms which may give cause for concern about a child's welfare. Staff have completed training updates about how to identify any children who may be at risk of exposure to extreme ideas or behaviours. The manager supports staff's professional development well, for example, through regular training. Staff use their enhanced skills and knowledge to improve learning experiences for children. For example, they review and enrich resources to further support learning outside. Regular risk assessments help staff to keep children safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff skilfully monitor and identify children's current interests. They effectively use this information to create activities and resources which capture children's imaginations and support their learning. For example, children who have been exploring bugs and mini- beasts work with staff to create a cosy corner based on a garden theme. Staff skilfully incorporate mathematical learning into many of the activities they provide for children. For instance, children count the bees in their book at story time and excitedly explore the difference between 'big' and 'small'. Staff effectively question children during activities and support them in expressing their own ideas.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's physical development is supported well. Children ride scooters, climb, slide and dig. They benefit from interesting opportunities to explore the local area. For example, children delight in trips to the local pet shop, library and woods. Staff effectively provide children with different ways to explore their similarities and differences. For example, children enjoy looking at photographs and books about themselves. Children talk about the differences in the foods they like to eat. They learn about leading healthy lifestyles as they eat enticing and nutritious food. Children behave well, are sociable and form bonds and friendships with each other.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and engaged learners. They explore and experiment. For example, younger children are fascinated when they sprinkle rice and oats from a height and watch them fall. Older children delightedly use their well-developed language skills to talk about seeds and vegetables, and how they change colour as they ripen. Children are independent and enjoy carrying out simple, manageable tasks. They are persistent and repeat their actions until they master their new skills. They are prepared well for the next stage of their learning, including school.
