It is not yet outstanding because:

n At times, the noise level indoors makes it difficult for children to focus their listening and attention skills fully during play. n The manager does not consistently encourage feedback from parents to ensure that their views form part of the setting's self-evaluation.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Managers and staff have a good understanding of how to identify and manage safeguarding and wider child protection concerns. A balanced approach to risk assessments creates a safe environment. Staff benefit from regular supervision sessions and training, which helps them to understand their role. Managers identify any areas where children are not achieving as expected and make swift referrals to external professionals for support. Parents comment positively on the friendly, helpful staff and the progress their children are making.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff create an exciting environment for children and set up play spaces for them to support their learning and ignite their interests. Children explore the resources and choose what they want to do using visual timetables and choice cards. The qualified staff regularly observe children and make accurate assessments of their development. Staff support children's mathematical understanding well. For example, children use lentils, weighing scales and a variety of containers in the creative room. Staff encourage children to count, recognise different sizes and understand quantities. Staff make learning in literacy fun. They use intonation in their voices as they sing and skilfully introduce resources to bring songs and rhymes to life.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop close emotional relationships with staff. Staff promote children's independence well. Children show kindness to each other as they sit together at snack time and share the plates and cups out. Children behave well. Staff encourage children's physical development well and provide many outdoor play experiences in the well- resourced outdoor area. Equipment to promote physical development is available for all children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Children ride bicycles, showing good balance and control. Staff support the children to promote problem solving as they negotiate the bicycles around the outdoor play space. Children are supported well to assess their own risks as they climb on the climbing frame.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, make good progress in their learning. Children are developing the skills they need for the future, including their eventual move on to school. Children enjoy sharing books. They learn to handle them carefully and turn the pages independently to help develop their early reading skills. Children are motivated learners and try new activities with enthusiasm.
