p.1

This provision is good

 The provider effectively gathers the views of parents, staff, children and other professionals in her evaluation of the setting. She uses their feedback to help promote good continuous improvement, such as developing ongoing assessments.  Staff regularly observe children's learning, assess their progress and plan for their next steps. They are enthusiastic in their teaching, which helps to promote children's enjoyment of learning.  Staff provide good quality care for children and parents praise the range of activities provided for children.  Children's behaviour is good. They share and take turns. Staff teach children how to follow rules. This helps to promote their personal, social and emotional development.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The provider's supervision of staff is not rigorous enough to help raise the quality of teaching to an outstanding level.  The provider does not use information about children's learning to compare the progress of different groups of children and evaluate ways to enhance their development further.  Staff do not gather enough detailed information from parents about their children's capabilities when they start attending.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Professional development has a positive impact of staff's care of children. They have recently attended training on the role of the key person. Staff have used the knowledge gained to develop their practice. For example, they change their key children's nappies and sit with them at snack time to help children to build strong relationships with them. Safeguarding is effective. Staff understand the procedures for reporting concerns about children's welfare and have attended child protection training. The provider follows safer recruitment procedures to help check staff suitability when they start and throughout their employment. Staff minimise risks to children for instance, they prevent children from accessing the car park when playing in the garden.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff work hard to engage parents in their children's learning. They invite them to view their children's assessments and join in with children's play. Staff provide parents with activities to help guide their children's learning at home. Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities receive good support from staff. They identify any gaps in children's learning quickly and seek additional support from other professionals, such as speech and language therapists. This helps to close gaps in children's learning over time. Teaching is strong. Staff support children of all abilities to develop the skills they need for the next stage in their learning, including school. For example, they read familiar stories to children. Children work as a group to act out the story using visual props. They draw the characters from the story as they hold pens and give meaning to the marks they make.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff promote children's independence to a good level, such as teaching them how to put on their coats. Each day staff set up a welcoming environment for children that is stimulating. There is space for younger children to rest if they choose. For those children who are due to start school, staff are supporting them to develop positive views about their move. For example, they read books to children about what teachers and the school day might be like. Children follow safety rules as they learn how to use equipment so as not to harm themselves or others. They hold scissors correctly as they snip paper during art activities. Staff promote healthy lifestyles effectively. They promote children's healthy diet through providing nutritious food for snack.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning. They build blocks into towers as they develop their physical skills. Children respond to questions that staff ask them as they listen carefully. Older children have a good awareness of shape and recognise two dimensional shapes, such as a circle. Children take a keen interest in other people and their jobs. They watch gardeners cut the grass at the setting and talk to staff about the role of a gardener.
