p.1

This provision is good

 Incorporating the views of staff, parents and children, the provider consistently reflects on the service she provides. She uses this information effectively, for example, to enhance opportunities for children to learn about leading a healthy lifestyle.  Staff provide children with a variety of interesting activities to support them in learning about their local area and people whose lives and experiences may be different to their own. Children are self-motivated learners and make good progress.  Parents praise the provider and staff saying they create a 'home away from home' atmosphere. Children form good bonds with staff and happily talk to them about their interests, families and special people.  Staff carefully observe and assess children's learning. They quickly identify children who may need additional support. The provider works effectively with other professionals, when needed. This particularly supports children who have special educational needs

(SEN) and/or disabilities. Staff improve children's outcomes.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, younger children are not able to access some resources with ease to support and extend further their independent play and learning opportunities.  Staff are not fully successful in ensuring that group activities reflect children's individual learning needs, and some children lose interest.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

To further improve the quality of the early years provision the provider should:

What the setting needs to do to improve further

 support staff to consider ways in which younger children can access resources more effectively during play  review how staff plan group activities to support them in identifying how children's individual learning needs can be met more effectively.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed different activities, including outdoor learning, and assessed the impact these have on children's learning.  The inspector undertook a joint observation with the provider.  The inspector held a meeting with the provider.  The inspector looked at a selection of policies, children's records and documents relating to the suitability of staff. She discussed self-evaluation with the provider.  The inspector talked with staff, parents and children to gather their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider ensures that staff are confident in their understanding of the signs and symptoms which may give cause for concern about a child's welfare. Staff have completed training updates about how to identify any children who may be at risk of exposure to extreme ideas or behaviours. Staff are clear in their understanding of procedures to follow if a child has an accident. The provider uses risk assessments effectively to improve safety in the outdoor space. The provider supports the staff's professional development, for instance, through regular supervision and training. Staff use the skills and knowledge they gain to enhance children's learning experiences. For example, they use simple signs to support children's communication and language skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children benefit from interesting activities which teach them about the natural world. For example, they visit local shops to buy seeds to plant and walk in local green spaces. Staff are skilled at supporting children's developing mathematical skills. Children count, design patterns and talk about shapes. They enjoy using their emerging writing. Younger children make marks on boards using magnetic pens and older children confidently write their names. Children develop their creativity as they make music with drums and bells, which delights them. Parents say they feel supported in extending their children's learning at home. Children benefit from the continuity in their learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models for children. They are kind, and carefully nurture children's emotional well-being. Children confidently turn to them for help, if needed. Staff support children's physical development. For example, children relish eating nutritious and appealing meals. Children eagerly suggest doing press-ups as they experiment with moving in different ways. They enjoy learning to care for the environment as they think about recycling and go to the local charity shop to donate books. Children learn about local history, for instance, as they visit a nearby war memorial.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and sociable. They are interested in the world around them and eagerly talk about an international sporting event taking place. They are persistent and practise new skills until they have mastered them. For instance, they exclaim with pride as they successfully use simple tools which support them in their creative activities. Children behave well and are considerate of each other's feelings. They share, take turns and include each other in their play. Children are prepared well for the next stage in their learning, including school.
