The provision is good

n Mangers and staff are dedicated. They provide a very well-resourced environment and experiences that help children to learn. They accurately evaluate the quality of the setting and use the views of the parents and staff to constantly develop the quality of the experiences they provide for the children. n Partnerships with local schools are highly effective. Managers and staff work closely with teachers to develop joint assessment systems. This helps to ensure that evaluations of children's progress are accurate and supports a shared approach to help children achieve the best they can. n Children develop positive relationships with sensitive staff. Children behave well. Staff effectively support children to develop their sharing and turn-taking skills and promote consistent rules and boundaries. Children make good progress. n Staff build trusting relationships with parents and keep them informed about their

children's learning and daily experiences. Parents report that they feel, 'Valued' by the staff and that they, 'Appreciate staff's friendly, kind and reassuring manner'. Parents report that their children are very safe and secure in the care of staff. n Staff support children's mathematical learning well. They provide interesting activities to successfully develop older children's recognition of number symbols and encourage them to practise writing numbers. Younger children count bears and dinosaurs correctly and identify how many are big and how many are small.

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Supervision of staff is well embedded. However, managers are not consistent in their approach to help identify ways to enhance staff practice to an outstanding level. n Sometimes, organised routine activities interrupt children's concentration and do not effectively further develop their independence skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of child protection issues and know what to do should they be concerned about a child's welfare or the behaviour of a colleague. The management team uses robust procedures to recruit new staff. They provide induction, regular supervision sessions and training to help all staff understand their role. Relationships between the highly qualified staff are warm and professional, and they operate very well as a team. The manager supports staff to continue their training and build on their professional qualifications. Staff use effective systems to minimise any risks, including when transporting children in the minibus and walking them to and from school. Staff supervise children well and all are first-aid trained. In addition, the manager accurately records any accidents or injuries that occur and analyses these to help prevent any reoccurrence. The manager understands what

incidents she must report to Ofsted. Managers monitor groups of children's development and identify any gaps in their learning. Managers use very effective partnerships with other professionals to help ensure that children catch up quickly.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff display enjoyment and enthusiasm in their work with children. Children explore the dinosaurs and imaginatively 'roar'. Staff skilfully teach young children the names of the dinosaurs as they encourage them to find the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Staff extend children's learning further as they encourage them to match dinosaurs and classify them in different groups. Staff teach children a wide range of nursery rhymes and stories. Young children are motivated in their learning as they sing and join in the actions with enthusiasm. Older children join in story telling as they accurately identify the sequence of familiar stories. This helps to develop their memory, language and literacy skills. Babies show delight as they explore. Staff use effective communication to support and extend babies' growing language skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's emotional well-being is strong. Staff tailor children's entry into the setting, through the setting and on to school very well. Older children are very motivated and confidently approach visitors to ask questions. Staff encourage children's physical development effectively. Older children challenge their physical capabilities as they ride wheeled toys down the slope at speed. They negotiate obstacles and each other well and come to a controlled stop. Babies crawl and take their first steps supported by sensitive staff who celebrate their achievement and share in their pleasure. Staff help children to appreciate the countryside on their many trips around the local area. Staff teach children good hygiene routines and provide them with healthy meals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Older children play imaginatively with their friends as they use puppets to act out roles from their favourite stories. Older babies listen attentively and accurately name the animals that they see on their regular trips to the farm. All children demonstrate the attitudes and dispositions for successful learning. Children are well prepared for the next stage in their education, including starting school.
