The provision is good

n Leaders monitor and evaluate effectively. They use feedback received from parents and children to further develop the service. This helps them in their drive to make continuous improvements and maintain good standards. n Leaders and their staff work very effectively with others. They establish a two-way flow of information with parents and the local school that children attend. This leads to strong continuity of children's care and development. n Staff provide very good opportunities for outdoor learning. Children enjoy playing outdoors in all weather conditions and have frequent opportunities to explore and develop an understanding of the environment and living things. n Staff make the most of resources in the wider community. Children benefit from a range of extended learning experiences that enriches their knowledge of the world around them. n Parents speak highly of the flexible service and the staff. They are reassured that their

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Staff do not consistently support children to think about the impact of their boisterous play on their own and others' safety. n Staff do not consistently encourage younger children to engage in non-stereotypical play opportunities.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Leaders monitor the effectiveness of the service well. They respond effectively to the feedback and suggestions that they receive. For example, they have extended their operating hours and have reviewed the menus for children. Staff receive good support to develop their skills and personal effectiveness. Leaders identify training for them to complete, for instance, so that they better understand how to keep children safe and can respond to medical emergencies. Leaders use their strong partnerships within the local community and beyond to deepen children's understanding of the wider world. For example, children help to care for animals at the nearby farm and take part in cycling activities using donated equipment. Safeguarding is effective. Staff know how to recognise potential risks to children and correctly respond to concerns about children's welfare. Leaders work well with the school and other agencies to keep children safe and

provide good support for their families.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use their good links with the school that children attend to build on children's prior learning and skills. They gather information from teaching staff about what children learn and build on this in enjoyable and engaging ways. For example, staff extend science experiments started in school into the summer months to embed children's knowledge and understanding. Staff support children to understand and respect the natural environment, for instance, as they encourage children to take part in fishing activities. Children enjoy practising their balance and coordination through ball games, such as football and rounders. Staff develop children's interests well. For example, when children explore and manipulate dough for extended periods, staff discuss and plan with them how the dough could next be used.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff build close relationships with children and their parents. They implement effective systems to keep children safe well. For example, staff are aware of how to respond if emergencies arise during school collection. Children enjoy healthy and nutritious meals that reflect their dietary needs. They gain independence, for example, as they serve themselves or use the bathroom unaided. They quickly begin to understand what is expected, such as where to store their bags and coats. Staff encourage children to respond positively to rules and boundaries during group games. Staff recognise when children returning from the holiday break need reassurance and they support their emotional needs well. For instance, staff give cuddles as they engage with children and show them how to make garlands to wear on their heads.
