p.1

The provision is good

n The management have a strong drive to improve the provision. They regularly evaluate the setting and have successfully made improvements since the last inspection. Leadership is well organised and there is a strong staff team. n Staff regularly monitor children's individual progress. They use this information to address and swiftly close any emerging gaps in children's learning. All children, including those that have English as an additional language, make good progress from their starting points. n Staff successfully engage parents and encourage them to share valuable information about their children's achievements. Parents involve staff in their children's learning at home and keep them well informed about their progress and activities. n Staff engage well with other professionals. They have good relationships with the on- site school and work in partnership with other settings that children attend. This helps

to ensure consistency in children's care and learning needs.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Although staff know their key children very well, not all staff are aware of other children's precise next steps in learning when working with them, to maximise children's learning at every opportunity. n The management do not precisely monitor the progress that specific groups of children make in their learning, to help raise children's outcomes even further.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The management and staff know how to identify and report a concern about a child's welfare. They have secure knowledge and experience of how to keep children safe. Staff regularly assess the environment to identify and minimise any potential risks to children. Rigorous policies and procedures reflect their good practice. The management targets areas for staff's professional development, such as through regular discussions, training and observation of their practice. This improves outcomes for children. For example, staff use their knowledge gained from recent training well to positively and successfully manage children's behaviour. The views of children and parents are successfully included in development plans to continually strengthen practice and further enhance children's experiences.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

All children happily engage in adult-led activities and independently choose from a wide range of toys and resources. Staff animatedly read a story. Children are fascinated and join in with repeated refrains where possible. Older children show confidence in writing their own name and younger children develop their creative skills through activities, such as painting and play dough. Children's language development is supported well. They listen intently to staff and handle props as they join in with singing activities. Children at the after-school club enjoy craft activities and construction play with their friends.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's behaviour is good. Staff are calm and patient when teaching children how to be kind, polite and to share with their friends Children form strong attachments to staff and develop a strong sense of security. Outdoors, children show increasing control and develop good physical skills. For example, they balance across tyres, learning to take risks in a safe environment. Children show a good understanding of daily routines. They make independent decisions, such as where they want to play and move inside and outside calmly. Staff give children time to complete achievable tasks for themselves, such as putting on coats and washing their hands. They are deployed well and ratios are maintained at all times, helping to keep children safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident, curious and motivated to learn. They learn to negotiate with others as they engage in play. Children develop confidence in speaking in a group. Their listening skills are promoted and they learn to respect each other. Children are well prepared for the next stage of their learning and for school when the time comes.
