This provision is good

n Children are familiar with routines and show a high level of independence when they arrive. For example, children freely select the activity they want to play with and move onto the next, either outside or inside. n The recommendations from the last inspection have been met to a good standard. n Staff provide good support for children with special educational needs. They work effectively with other professionals, such as the speech therapist, and the schools that children transition to. This helps to ensure that children's learning, development and welfare needs are shared in order to secure good outcomes. n Children thoroughly enjoy learning in the newly developed outside play area. For instance, children challenge themselves as they balance on wooden beams and ride bikes around the racing track. This helps to support children's good physical skills and spatial awareness. Staff encourage children to discuss their play and engage them in

meaningful discussions about their learning. n Children have good relationships with staff, including key persons, who are successful in promoting their confidence and emotional well-being. n Managers and staff develop strong partnerships with parents. This unified approach helps to maintain continuity in children's learning. For example, children, including those with special educational needs and their families, receive the support they require. Parents report very high levels of satisfaction. n Staff miss some opportunities to use their good knowledge of teaching techniques to enhance and extend children's mathematics during adult planned activities.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

The inspector took account of written testimonials received on the day of the inspection. n The inspector looked at children's records, planning documents, evidence of the suitability of staff working in the provision and a range of other documentation, including policies and procedures.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Managers and staff are clear about their responsibility to protect children. They know the procedures to follow and who to contact if they have a concern about a child's welfare. Managers are steadfast in making sure staff discuss safeguarding matters at every staff and appraisal meeting. Additionally, managers ensure staff receive relevant training to enable them to extend children's learning and to secure improved outcomes. Staff have worked with parents and children to review the outdoor provision. They have acted on the feedback. Children now enjoy plenty of exercise, and more engaging and stimulating play, under an all-weather cover. Children play on protected surfaces to help minimise injury if they fall. Staff work with other professionals to provide targeted support for vulnerable children and their families. They have significantly improved communication with parents by providing weekend family

workshops to support children's learning at the setting and at home.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are self-assured in discussing their play, and they engage with each other and with unfamiliar adults. For instance, children invited the inspector to join in their role- play. The 'doctors' and 'nurses' checked that the inspector was healthy. Staff encourage children to discuss their play and this helps to promote their communication, language and understanding of the physical world. This is demonstrated when children use the world map and sound buttons to learn more about the countries they visited on vacation. In the garden, children experienced the feel of a leaf being waved next to their faces and this heightened their sensory experience. Staff plan accurately for children's learning and are effective in assessing their next steps. They quickly identify any gaps in children's learning and address these in a timely manner.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Most children separate well and are happy to leave their parents. Children who require additional support to settle receive it from caring staff, who provide comfort and reassurance. Children behave well and they fully enjoy learning in the newly developed outside play area. For example, children challenge themselves as they line up patiently to balance on wooden beams, ride bikes around the racing track and play football. All these experiences help to support children's good spatial awareness and physical and social skills development. Staff promote children's independence and healthy lifestyles when they encourage them to discuss and cut their own fruit and vegetables at snack time.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children, including those with special educational needs, make good progress in their learning and development from their starting points. For example, children use visual cues and signing when they work in small, focused groups to blow bubbles, paint and sing familiar songs. Children thoroughly improve their early reading and literacy when they self-register, learn the days of the week and share stories. They develop their good understanding of the world when they take 'bear' home, log his amazing adventures and share these with others. Children develop the skills they need for their move to school.
