It is not yet outstanding because:

n Staff have not fully explored ways to gather ongoing information from parents, and do not share information about children's next stage in their development as quickly as they could, so that children are continually challenged at a high level. n The provider has not fully embedded sharply focused supervisions and evaluations of the staff's quality of teaching, to move their practice forward and support all children's progress even further.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The provider and staff have a clear understanding of what would concern them about a child's welfare. They are confident with the procedure to follow to share concerns with the relevant agencies. Staff understand the importance of working with external professionals to maintain children's well-being. Staff work as a strong team. They supervise children well and maintain a safe environment. The provider and staff work closely with the local authority, to evaluate and improve all aspects of the provision. Parents spoken to on the day of inspection express their complete satisfaction with the service provided. They say that their children enjoy attending and are pleased with the progress their children are making.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff deliver a varied educational programme, which captures children's imaginations and curiosity well. Children are keen to get involved in activities, to explore and investigate. For example, children play independently and cooperatively while mixing sand and water in pots outside. Older children concentrate well while creating pictures. Staff encourage them to mix paint and they support children in talking about colours, shapes and textures. This promotes children's small-muscle and mathematical skills. Babies relish playing peek-a-boo under materials. Children enjoy stories and making marks, such as using chalks and paintbrushes in water outside. This supports their early literacy development and imaginative skills successfully.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and confident and form close bonds with staff. The key-person system is effective in helping children settle successfully. Children behave well and learn to take turns, share and cooperate well with each other. Staff act as good role models giving children clear explanations about how to behave. Staff teach children appropriate hygiene routines and about making healthy food choices. Staff working with babies are kind, caring and respond well to their individual needs. Babies are keen to have a cuddle with their key person. They develop good mobility skills and staff support them well to explore the environment. Older children develop their independence, for example, they serve themselves their snacks and drinks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop good skills that help them to be ready for the move on to school. They are confident learners who readily make choices in their play. Children develop good communication skills. Older children are engaged in regular conversations and babies confidently babble and make attempts at new words. Children explore their creative ideas. Babies investigate sensory objects. Older children make their own musical shakers and talk about containers being 'full' and 'empty'.
