This provision is good

 Children are happy and settle quickly in a warm and welcoming environment. They build strong relationships with their key person and are confident independent learners.  Parents are fully involved with children's learning and regularly updated about their child's progress. They are encouraged to play an active role in their child's learning.  All children make good progress and those with additional needs make very good progress. Secure partnership working with outside agencies, parents and other professionals ensures children receive support as early as possible.  A strong focus is placed on promoting children's early communication and language skills. Children learn in a language rich environment from well-trained staff who praise and encourage their efforts. This has a positive impact on children's confidence and self-esteem.  The manager leads a hard-working team that is committed to providing quality care

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, the organisation and structure of the routine limit opportunities for children to extend their learning through their self-chosen activities.  Systems to monitor the progress different groups of children make are in their early stages and are not secure enough to identify and recognise any differences in achievements across the different areas of learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Leaders are passionate about their role and have identified clear areas to develop to further improve the provision. The manager knows the staff well and provides suitable training to further enhance their skills to improve outcomes for all children. For example, staff have taken part in a language project which has improved their skills in questioning and developing children's communication skills. Managers monitor individual children's progress well to ensure next steps in their learning are identified and monitored. Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff are able to identify safeguarding concerns and follow child protection procedures to promote children's welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use a wide range of communication tools to share information and teach children. They regularly observe what children know and can do and use this effectively to plan challenging and exciting experiences for children based on their interests. For example, they plan a wide range of sensory activities for babies to explore, including play with rice, sand, spaghetti, and scented water containing real lemon and orange slices. Staff question children and allow them time to think about what they want to say before responding. For example, when looking at a round cushion, staff ask the children what else they can think of that is the same shape. They leave time for children to look around and reflect on the question before confidently being able to identify a number of objects.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are sensitive to children's needs and acknowledge their efforts through lots of smiles and praise. As a result, children are very secure and emotionally well prepared for the next stage in their learning. Staff support all children through transitional times with consistent strategies. For example, they shake a tambourine to get children's attention, use Makaton instructions to show when an activity has finished and clear simple language for the children to follow. Children know the routine, anticipate what will happen next and are prepared for their next learning experience. Children fully participate at meal and snack times by making healthy, varied, independent choices and serving themselves.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are happy to learn and show good levels of enjoyment and concentration. For example, children are able to recall learning from an earlier group time, counting out five children and singing 'Five little speckled frogs' by themselves. Babies are given the skills to make independent choices in play from low-level resources and exciting activities. All staff model language well and children are confident in communicating their needs. Older children are progressing well towards school readiness, being independent, confident, curious and sociable.
