p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Managers employ rigid systems to ensure all staff fully understand how to recognise if a child's welfare is at risk. The staff team has a confident understanding of the setting's safeguarding policies and procedures. Managers show a strong drive to ensure the continual improvement of practice. They use focused evaluations and effective performance management systems to assess how well the setting is meeting children's needs. They consider strongly the views of parents, staff and children. For example, following staff feedback, children have benefited from better opportunities to lead their experiences and have become more focused in their play.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff understand children's interests very well and use information about these effectively to plan activities which excite and stimulate children. For example, pre-school children enjoy activities linked to experiences some of them had on holidays. Staff show skill in following children's lead. When children and toddlers smell play dough, they are encouraged to find herbs in the garden to add to it. All staff show skills in adapting their teaching skills to suit the age of the children they are with. For instance, baby room staff use simple language, songs and repetition well to encourage the development of language. Staff ensure children respect and recognise the differences that exist between people.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Through the use of robust key-person systems, children form strong relationships and feel safe and secure. Key persons show an attentive approach to meeting the welfare needs of their key children. Staff promote positive behaviour effectively, as they help children learn to be kind with consistent routines that they share with parents. Children exhibit positive behaviour. For example, very young children work together in their play and share resources. Staff prepare children well for when they move on to other settings, including school. They ensure children become independent and can care for themselves appropriately. For example, children and toddlers get water to drink when they need it.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children engage intently in their play and make their own discoveries. Babies pick up objects and shake them to find out what happens. Toddlers investigate how tools and containers work as they play with sand or dough. Pre-schoolers find out how to make imprints in dough when they learn about fossils. Children of all ages develop age- appropriate skills to support their future learning. For example, they all develop hand control, ready to be future writers. Children hear and use numbers throughout their play.
