This provision is good

 Home visits are arranged prior to children's first day to help children to feel secure with their future move. Settling-in visits are arranged and planned depending on children's individual needs. This helps to prepare children emotionally for their first day.  Staff act as positive role models and effectively manage children's behaviour. They talk about the importance of safety throughout children's activities.  Management and staff demonstrate a strong commitment to achieving the best outcomes for children. For example, they have identified a number of children with speech and language delays and have secured support from an external agency to help to successfully close gaps in their learning and development.  Staff have a clear understanding of their responsibility to work in partnership with parents. They provide parents with verbal feedback on a daily basis and regularly share observations of children's achievements.

This provision is good

 Staff support children's mathematical development and they develop their awareness of shapes, colours and size during daily activities. This helps children to acquire skills they need for their next stage in learning and for school.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Strategies currently in place to drive the quality of staff practice and teaching to a higher level are not yet fully effective.  Although key persons successfully plan children's next steps in learning, the sharing of this information is on occasions less effective between staff.

She engaged in discussions with staff and children at appropriate times throughout the inspection.  The inspector looked at children's records, observation and assessment files, planning documentation and a selection of policies.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The well-qualified management team ensures that staff have a good understanding of child protection procedures. Staff are well trained and are able to securely identify potential signs and symptoms of abuse. Staff complete daily assessments of risks to help them to ensure the environment, indoors and outdoors, is safe for children. They deploy themselves well. Staff have regular supervisory meetings with management, which further safeguards children and helps to promote their learning and development. Staff have developed secure relationships with the adjoining school. This helps them to work in partnership and share relevant information to support children in the pre-school and out-of-school club. The management team monitors the club well and values the input of staff, children and parents.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff communicate well with children and their interactions are consistently good. Staff encourage children to be creative. For example, children design their own Easter eggs. Children are encouraged to make choices from the range of activities and resources on offer. For instance, they manipulate play dough and confidently use computers. Staff complete observations to help them to find out children's learning needs and preferences. Managers check and monitor the accuracy and consistency of staff's assessments. This helps to ensure that activities are appropriate for children's individual needs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The environment is stimulating and children are encouraged to lead their own play. This helps to build their confidence. Children enjoy fresh air and develop good physical skills in the stimulating outdoor area. Staff support children's understanding of good health. They provide healthy snacks and have discussions about being healthy. For instance, children learn about the importance of brushing their teeth. Staff introduce words, such as, 'molars' and 'dentist' to help to enhance children's emerging vocabulary. Children have good opportunities to build on their knowledge about people's similarities and differences. For example, staff provide activities to support children's understanding of festivals and the wider world.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who speak English as an additional language and those who staff have identified as needing additional support, are working comfortably within the range of development typical for their age. Children who receive additional funding are making good progress and have targeted support. Children quickly become independent in managing their own care needs. They use the toilet independently and confidently carry out tasks to help staff during routines. For instance, children help to prepare snack. Children develop good literacy skills. They add their names to artwork and sit happily with staff listening to stories. Children are enthusiastic, motivated learners who acquire skills and develop confidence, in preparation for starting school.
