The provision is good

n Rigorous self-evaluation and effective teamwork has meant that the setting has successfully met the actions and recommendations set in the previous inspection. The provider ensures that staff are suitable to work with children. Induction processes are thorough. Staff have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities. n Staff support children's communication and language development effectively. Young children learn to use words to describe their experiences. For instance, they hide a toy train in the tunnel and say, 'It is gone.' Older children develop as confident communicators. All children, including those who are learning English as an additional language, make good progress from their starting points. n Staff provide opportunities for children to build close relationships with them. For instance, as they change children's nappies, they sing to them. Young children learn to make choices. For instance, they respond by saying 'yes' or 'no' to express their

preference of which song they would like the staff to sing next. Children feel valued and they are emotionally secure.

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Leaders and managers are committed to achieving good standards in children's learning and care. They review staff performance regularly and support opportunities for staff to share their knowledge and skills with each other, for instance, through effective mentoring processes. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure understanding of the setting's safeguarding policies and procedures, as they are well trained. The management team has a clear understanding of the procedures to follow in the event of an allegation. Partnerships with parents and professionals are strong. Effective information sharing and precise monitoring of children's progress help the management team to develop focused targets to reduce gaps in children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff support young children well to extend their understanding of the world. For example, they show children how to operate squeaky toys and encourage children to 'have a go'. Staff provide opportunities for older children to build on their mathematical skills. For example, children learn to count toy fish, as they catch them with a magnetic rod. Staff encourage older children's creativity effectively. For instance, staff and children imagine it is Christmas and pretend to open presents. Staff share activity ideas and resources with parents to help support them to continue children's learning at home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff plan interesting activities to promote children's growing awareness of the importance of a healthy diet. For instance, they provide toy models of different foods and encourage children to identify the healthy and non-healthy foods. At lunchtime, they ask children why it is important to eat vegetables and children state it makes them 'strong'. Staff support children's good behaviour effectively through positive strategies, such as encouragement and praise. Children learn to follow rules, for instance, when they play games with their friends. They learn to share resources and kindly say 'your turn' as they pass toys to other children. They build confidence in their abilities and develop a positive sense of themselves. For instance, they join in with staff and exclaim 'we did it!' as they succeed in what they do.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop independence from a young age. For instance, young children learn to hang their coat on the peg. Older children learn to roll their sleeves up, in preparation to wash their hands. Children learn that print carries meaning. For example, older children learn to write their names and use this skill well to make their own name labels. Children are prepared well for future learning.
