This provision is good

 Staff develop positive relationships with parents, local schools and other professionals, including those who support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. This means there is a shared approach to children's care and learning so that they receive consistent support.  Managers regularly observe and evaluate staff's teaching and meet with them to target development opportunities. This helps managers to identify how to support staff to continually improve so that all children make good progress.  Staff provide children with a stimulating environment, indoors and out, that motivates children to use the resources and learn. All children progress well.  Staff build effective relationships with children. They are friendly and offer children cuddles when needed. This helps children to feel relaxed and safe, and to become confident to engage in new experiences.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, staff are not fully effective in promoting children's listening skills to the highest possible level.  There are limited opportunities for children to gain an awareness of how they differ from, or are similar to, other people.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff have attended child protection training. They are fully aware of the signs of abuse and the procedure they must follow if they have any concerns about the welfare of a child. The manager has attended training on how to encourage play and learning in a woodland environment. She makes sure that children experience exciting, regular hands-on learning in the on-site woodland environment, where they investigate and use a range of tools. The management team reflects on the progress of individual and specific groups of children across all areas of their learning. Any gaps in children's learning are identified and set as a focus to ensure all children make good progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff promote children's learning through effective teaching. For example, they make sure that 'circle time' provides children with regular opportunities to get to know everyone in the group. During such times, staff encourage children to talk about past events in their own lives, thereby developing their self-confidence. Additionally, staff encourage children to learn about the days of the week, the months of the year and to develop their understanding of numbers. Children learn how to keep themselves safe in enjoyable and relaxed ways. For example, they take it in turns to be the daily safety monitors. Staff encourage the safety monitors to risk assess the playground before the other children go out to play. They encourage children to identify what they need to check from their lists and tick this when it is completed. Children develop positive relationships with community members, such as the local police and firefighters who visit the setting. Children dress up

as a police officers and firefighters and learn how to keep themselves safe.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The management team places a strong emphasis on encouraging and motivating children to be physically active. For example, babies, toddlers and older children can choose to play indoors or outdoors throughout the day. Additionally, a sports coach and yoga teacher regularly visit the setting to actively support children to develop these skills. Staff provide children with a nutritious and well-balanced diet. They use effective strategies and positive role modelling to help children behave well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points and develop the skills they need in readiness for school. They are continually engrossed and focused in their play. Babies enjoy singing a range of nursery rhymes. They are beginning to remember the actions to the songs and laugh as they join in with staff. Toddlers engage in imaginative play as they pretend to be doctors and princesses outdoors. Older children move with confidence. For instance, they use scooters, climb slides and enjoy obstacle courses outdoors. They are self-assured and initiate conversations with others.
