p.1

This provision is good

 Staff work closely with other professionals to improve all children's outcomes. For example, children who speak English as an additional language or have special educational needs and/or disabilities equally make good and rapid progress in their learning.  Staff provide a stimulating and engaging learning environment. They interact well with children and plan interesting activities that are based on children's individual learning needs. Children make good progress from their starting capabilities and interests.  Children behave impeccably and staff are excellent role models. Children receive lots of praise and encouragement. They display high levels of self-esteem. Children play cooperatively together and are extremely respectful of each other.  The management team and staff evaluate the provision effectively. They continually strive to improve the pre-school. For example, they recently attended training to

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Management and staff have a clear understanding of how to keep children safe and are vigilant in their supervision of children. They know how to identify signs which might indicate a child is at risk of harm and how to report any concerns about children's safety or welfare. The manager uses robust safer recruitment procedures and reviews these processes to check staff's ongoing suitability. The qualified teacher and manager use regular supervision sessions to effectively support staff with their ongoing training, to improve overall outcomes for children. Staff plan targeted activities that support children's learning well and successfully close any emerging gaps in their learning. Overall, they share this information with parents to provide children with consistency in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are experienced and know their key children well. They use their expert knowledge to plan challenging and interesting activities that keep children motivated to learn. For example, children enjoy dressing up in a variety of costumes and being imaginative. Staff engage in their play well and skilfully extend their learning further, such as by asking them interesting questions to extend their vocabulary and communication skills. Staff help children develop their mathematical skills effectively. For example, children are eager to identify the missing numbers on a number line and count and problem solve using construction toys. Children have limitless opportunities to explore, investigate and discover the world around them. For instance, children enjoy drawing their favourite farm animals that visited the pre-school. Staff extend their learning, such as teaching them about nature and farm life.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff form very strong relationships with the children to help them feel very emotionally secure. They develop high levels of independence during activities as they choose from a wealth of high-quality resources which is easily available to them. Children demonstrate high levels of confidence and independence. For example, they prepare their own healthy snack and pour their own drinks to refresh themselves. Children benefit from the excellent opportunities provided by staff to learn about their own and other people's backgrounds. They show an exceptional sense of belonging and pride as they share cultural traditions. Children develop excellent self-care skills around personal hygiene and enjoy regular opportunities for fresh air and exercise.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and develop positive attitudes to learning. They join in well with group play and demonstrate excellent social skills. Older children develop good problem-solving and early writing skills and show an interest in early reading. Children gain useful skills for their future learning, including when they move on to school.
