p.1

The provision is good

n The management team has taken positive steps since the last inspection to ensure that all required information about children is obtained from parents when they start, and accessible to all staff when required. n Staff work with parents from the start to gather relevant information about their children's capabilities and interests. They use this information to help settle children and promote continuity of care and learning. n Staff work well as a team. They communicate relevant information with each other, such as messages from school and changes to who is collecting children. n Staff work together to plan a broad range of activities and experiences based on their observations of what children enjoy. They review the success of sessions regularly to identify any weaknesses in their provision. n Management and staff welcome the support of the local authority advisory team, and they seek regular parental feedback to inform their self-evaluation.

It is not yet outstanding because:

n The setting's current systems to exchange information with professionals in the schools that children attend do not fully support continuity in children's individual learning.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are aware of the indicators of abuse and understand the procedures to follow so that appropriate action is taken to protect children from harm. Staff closely monitor access to the premises. The manager and staff are experienced and work closely as a team. They share relevant information with each other, such as who has permission to collect children and take them home. Staff communicate well with parents at handovers, which helps to ensure they are informed of relevant matters. Since the last inspection, the management team has taken positive steps to build on the performance management of staff. For example, managers now ensure staff receive regular supervision to discuss their skills and roles, and team meetings to address the aims and objectives set. Feedback from parents at inspection reflects positively on the care and learning opportunities offered to children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The staff team is committed to providing children with good-quality care and learning. Staff are mindful that most of the children have been at school all day. Therefore, they organise resources and plan a range of activities based on the children's preferences, which ensures children remain interested and have fun. Staff carry out observations of children and use the information to plan activities that generally build on children's overall learning. Staff show a real interest in what children say and do, and make sure there is time to talk to them about their day. Staff understand that children need time to pursue their own learning without interruption. As a result, they provide good opportunities for children to engage in activities without being too directive. Children play for long periods using resources to colour, practise their early writing skills, or take care of dolls. Other children like to be physically active and play games, such as dodge

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff collect children from different schools, and they learn about road safety well as staff provide consistent and meaningful reminders about keeping safe. Children are responsible and well behaved. They listen carefully to staff instructions, take responsibility for their belongings and competently follow a familiar routine. For example, children know where to place their school bags and coats, and where to go to wash their hands before having their meal. Children who have recently started are confident and help themselves to the healthy snacks and drinks that are on offer. Children play an active role to set tables and clear away after mealtimes. This helps them to develop vital skills for life and work with others. Staff are kind and caring towards children. They offer lots of praise and encouragement. Children have access to a range of resources, play opportunities and planned activities that reflects diversity and cultural differences.
