This provision is good

 The provider has an accurate understanding of the quality of the provision. She seeks the views of staff, parents and children to develop her action plans.

Staff get to know children well by collecting detailed information about them upon entry.  Staff use praise and encouragement well to foster children's self-esteem and confidence.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have undertaken appropriate training and have a good understanding of how to identify and manage concerns. Leaders have implemented robust recruitment procedures to verify and monitor the suitability of staff. Staff are well qualified and engage in a good range of professional development opportunities. For example, staff have recently undertaken training to enhance their understanding of how different children learn. Leaders monitor children's progress well. They identify gaps in children's learning and make plans of support to address them. Leaders use additional funding to help narrow gaps in children's achievement. Parents' feedback about the setting is very positive. In particular, they comment on the support provided by staff to help develop children's social and communication skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff observe children regularly and monitor their progress well. They make good use of this information to provide interesting learning experiences that promote children's development, overall. Younger children are supported as they learn to take turns with popular resources. Older children correctly pronounce letter sounds and match them to written text. They practise moving their bodies to form the shape of their 'letter of the week'. Children explore and investigate in the outdoor area. They empty and fill containers with sand and listen for sounds in the environment, such as aeroplanes and cars. They enjoy playing imaginatively alongside staff, for example, as they sell different items of food from a shop. Staff ask them how much the items cost and help them to count out the correct amount of coins.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff have carefully planned and resourced the indoor and outdoor learning environments to reflect children's interests and preferences. Children develop their physical skills and undertake exercise in the outdoor area. They practise balancing along beams that they have arranged for themselves. Staff use good safety messages to help children do this safely. Staff ensure that children follow hygiene routines and eat well. Children understand why it is important to follow hygiene routines and can explain this to adults. Staff help children to understand how to look after their bodies. For example, in sunny weather, staff provide jugs of water for children to help themselves to, and ensure that children wear appropriate sun protection.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those with SEN and/or disabilities, make good progress from their starting points. Older children are well mannered and confident communicators. They introduce themselves to visitors, practise writing letters and play well alongside other children. Children have positive attitudes towards learning. They are well prepared for their next stages of learning and the eventual move on to school.
