p.1

The provision is good

n The manager and staff are dedicated to their work with children and families. They are advocates for children and have high expectations of them. Staff successfully support all children to succeed and achieve well in their learning. n Staff are sensitive and caring. They warmly welcome children and meet their individual needs effectively. Key persons support children's emotional development effectively and help them to settle quickly. Children feel safe in the setting and display a strong sense of belonging. n Staff encourage and support children's mathematical understanding very well. Children learn to count, write numbers, measure quantities, compare different lengths and develop their understanding of different shapes. n The manager and staff create an inclusive environment where each child's individual culture is valued and celebrated. Inclusion is a real strength in this setting and is fully embedded. Children learn about communities and develop their understanding of the

differences between themselves and others. n Staff support children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities extremely well. They swiftly identify any children who are not progressing as expected and work closely with a range of other professionals to plan successful interventions to support children's learning.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Staff do not always gather detailed information from parents about their children's learning and development when they first start to attend. n At times, staff do not help children to understand the benefits that regular exercise and eating healthy foods can have on their bodies.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff complete child protection training and develop a good awareness of the warning signs that may indicate that children need help. They understand the procedures to follow should they be concerned about a child's welfare. Staff work closely with schools to help safeguard children. The manager implements good recruitment processes, induction for new staff, supervision meetings and training to help ensure that staff are suitable and understand their role. The manager reflects on the effectiveness of the setting and involves parents, staff and children in contributing their views. She uses this information well to develop action plans and implement targets for continual improvement. The manager uses additional funding creatively to help ensure that disadvantaged children enjoy a range of enriching learning experiences. Parents speak highly of the setting and state that their children are happy and staff

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know their key children well. They regularly observe children and make accurate assessments of their development. They use this information well to provide exciting learning experiences that motivate children and ignite their curiosity. Children enjoy baking activities and concentrate extremely well. They weigh ingredients, stir them together and spoon the mixture into bun cases. Staff help children to develop their knowledge of how the ingredients change during this process. They engage children in conversation, introduce new words and help them to understand that eggs come from chickens. Staff foster children's language development well. Older children display imaginative ideas and persist in their self-chosen tasks as they confidently cut pieces of dough and make faces. Staff skilfully encourage children to name the different facial features and think about where to place them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models for children. They praise children for sharing, taking turns and for their kindness. Children behave well and use good manners. Staff ensure that children spend plenty of time outdoors each day. Young children challenge their physical skills as they climb the steps on the slide. Older children show their good body strength and coordination as they competently pedal tricycles. Staff help children to understand how to keep themselves safe. Children understand the importance of wearing cycle helmets when they ride tricycles and scooters. Children are friendly and politely ask visitors questions.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who have SEN and/or disabilities and those who receive additional funding make good progress. Children are independent, confident and enthusiastic in their learning. Younger children become deeply involved in their play and persist in exploring how to create a stream in the garden using jugs of water. Children enjoy listening to stories and use books carefully. All children acquire the skills they need for their future learning, including school.
