This provision is good

 The manager, who is also the provider, is competent in her new role. She understands the importance of self-evaluation to identify strengths and areas for improvement. She is enthusiastic and keen to maintain the quality of this pre-school.  The strong staff team has worked together for a long time. Staff are good role models and consistently help children to follow the pre-school rules and to behave well. For example, staff encourage children to share toys and walk safely indoors.  Children have formed close friendship groups with each other and positive relationships with their key person. They settle very quickly when they first arrive and are emotionally secure.  Children are enthusiastic and keen learners. The manager and staff effectively plan a variety of activities for their key children. This helps to promote children's learning and development to a good level.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasions, the daily routines do not always help children to become highly involved in their chosen activity.  The manager does not use information fully to check on the progress of different groups of children to target teaching and monitor the impact of this.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff have undertaken a range of safeguarding training to promote children's welfare and safety. They know how to recognise and support children who may be at risk of neglect or abuse and the local reporting procedures to follow. The manager and staff carry out full risk assessments prior to planned outings and of all areas used by children. Staff help children to keep themselves safe, for example, in the event of a fire. The manager meets regularly with staff to discuss their performance and ongoing suitability. The manager has identified areas for improvement. For example, she would like to improve the outdoor area to promote children's good health and well-being to the highest level. The manager values the views of parents to help contribute towards the evaluation process.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff observe children during their play and identify the next steps in their learning. They provide a variety of challenging activities to extend children's learning to a good level. Staff regularly arrange coffee mornings with parents to share information about their children's progress and how they can contribute to their children's learning at home. Staff positively engage with parents to support their children's learning even further. They provide a good range of opportunities for children to learn about people and the community. For example, they plan 'international week'. Children thoroughly enjoy playing multi-cultural musical instruments and pretend to serve rice and noodles in the pretend Chinese restaurant. They regularly go on trips to the local park to explore nature and to use the large apparatus.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are enthusiastic and keen to join in. They listen carefully during small-group activities. They thoroughly enjoy listening to stories and rehearse songs in preparation for the end of term concert. Staff help children to begin to understand the importance of eating healthily. Children thoroughly enjoy eating a range of healthy fruit and staff encourage parents to provide children with a healthy packed lunch. During very hot weather staff promote children's welfare well. For example, they ensure children drink plenty of water during physical exercise, wear summer hats and encourage parents to apply sun cream before they arrive.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children's mathematical development is promoted to a good level. They begin to recognise number labels and quantity. For example, children add the correct number of pegs to number labels and count how many children are present. Children begin to write their name and recognise letters. They practise their self-help skills, children are confident and independent. For example, they use the bathroom independently, wash their hands and make good attempts to pour a drink. All children make good progress from when they first start. They are well prepared for the next stage in their learning and their eventual move on to school.
