It is not yet outstanding because:

n The provider has not ensured that Ofsted has been provided with the necessary information about all people looking after children so that checks can be carried out to verify their suitability. n The already good procedures used for monitoring staff practice are not yet focused fully on raising the quality of their teaching to an even higher level. n The provider does not actively seek the views of parents to help review the quality of practice and to set even more challenging targets for further development.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The provider understands safer recruitment processes and has completed her own suitability checks, including completing a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check for each member of staff. As a result, there is no significant impact on children's welfare due to the provider not informing Ofsted of new staff members as required. Staff are thoroughly inducted into the setting and the provider involves staff in regular supervision meetings. These are used to identify staff training needs and help to improve the outcomes for children, overall. The provider regularly evaluates all children's learning and development to help ensure that they are making good progress. Funding is used to effectively to narrow gaps in children's outcomes. Staff have a good knowledge of the policies and procedures which underpin all practices in the setting. They have an effective understanding of the procedures to

follow should they have any concerns about children in their care. Staff have developed secure relationships with schools to promote continuity in children's learning. Parents speak highly of the care their children receive. Overall, the provider evaluates their provision and demonstrates a strong commitment to achieving the best outcomes for all children. However, methods used for parents to contribute towards the evaluation process are not highly effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff interact with enthusiasm and help to motivate children to learn. They plan activities to help children learn about specific topics. For example, staff plan an activity for older children to learn about decay. Children observe and talk about food as it deteriorates over time. Staff ask children questions and provide them with information to enhance their knowledge. Children develop curiosity about the natural world. For example, they explore and talk about herbs, such as mint, parsley and rosemary. Younger children use their senses to touch and smell the herbs. Older children use scissors to chop the herbs into smaller pieces, which helps to develop their finer physical skills. Children show high levels of perseverance as they concentrate.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff warmly welcome children into a fun, well-resourced environment. They safely explore indoors and outside. Staff collect information about children's individual needs, interests and current capabilities before starting. This helps to support their care and emotional needs well from the start.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning and development. They gain a very good range of skills in preparation for school when the time comes. For example, children are independent and develop good social skills. Older children learn to count and are encouraged to use mathematical language in their play. Children enjoy singing familiar songs and rhymes and are kind and considerate to each other.
