children's learning at home and encouraging them to attend parents' meetings.

It is not yet outstanding because:

n On occasion, group times for younger children are not organised as effectively as possible, and children sometimes become distracted and lose concentration. n Sometimes, when supporting play, staff ask children questions to extend their learning but do not allow enough time for them to think through their ideas and respond.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have a good understanding of how to keep children safe and the policies and procedures to follow should they have a concern about a child's well-being. Rigorous recruitment, induction and staff supervision ensure that staff are suitable for their roles. Staff are well supported and the manager monitors their performance to ensure teaching is of a good standard, and children continue to make good progress. Staff regularly attend training to enhance their ongoing professional development. For example, all staff recently attended training about high-quality teaching and learning to develop their practice. The manager uses self-evaluation as an effective tool to set measurable targets to develop the service, taking into account the views of parents, staff and children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff make effective use of observations and assessments to monitor children's progress. They use this information to plan interesting and stimulating activities, based on children's individual needs and interests. Children enjoy participating in sensory play. For example, younger children enjoy making marks in paint through cling film and exploring cornflour with different tools. Overall, staff interact well with children to help support their language development. For instance, they describe to older children what younger children are doing as they play, and introduce new words to extend their vocabulary.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are well behaved. They are kind, considerate and well mannered, and develop good relationships with each other. Staff provide opportunities for fresh air and exercise to support children's physical development. For example, they attend weekly forest- school sessions where they explore nature, climb trees and learn how to use a variety of tools safely. The importance of a healthy lifestyle is effectively taught. Children are provided with healthy and nutritious meals prepared on the premises. Staff ensure that children follow good hygiene practices.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress. They are happy and enjoy their learning. Children develop good literacy skills. For example, older children recognise particular letters and confidently think of words beginning with the same letter. Children have opportunities to become independent as they play and investigate. For instance, younger children are encouraged to put on their shoes before going outside. Older children help to set up before mealtimes, serve their own snacks and pour their own drinks. Children develop good skills that prepare them well for the next stage of their learning.
