This is a provision that requires improvement

n The provider has not supplied Ofsted with the required information so that suitability checks can be completed on all trustees. n On a few occasions, children who are older or more able are not challenged to the highest level. n Sometimes, activities involving larger groups of children are not fully tailored to the needs of all those taking part.

Staff offer children a wide range of activities which keep children motivated and engaged in their learning. n Staff work effectively with outside agencies to help children and their families get the help they need.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

The provider has not supplied Ofsted with the required information to enable the necessary suitability checks to be carried out on all trustees. However, the trustees do not work directly with children and do not have access to confidential information. All staff working with children have an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a clear knowledge of the signs that may indicate that a child is at risk from harm. They report any concerns swiftly to the relevant authorities. Staff are diligent at ensuring that any concerns about children and the action taken are clearly documented. Staff take part in regular meetings to discuss their practice and identify areas for continued improvement. Training is regular and consistent to ensure that staff have a shared understanding of how to meet children's needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff regularly observe children and assess their development. They use this information to plan the next steps in children's learning. The manager tracks children's progress to identify where children need extra support. Staff have clear systems in place to assess the development of children with SEND. For instance, they use development journals to record children's individual progress. Children readily choose what they would like to play with and show high levels of interest in activities, such as painting, printing and messy play. Staff help children to problem-solve. For instance, they help them to build pipe ways and to work as a team to build a robot from bolts and screws. Staff pick up on children's spontaneous interests and develop these. When children spot an aeroplane, staff talk to them about where they think it may be going. Parents are well involved as partners in children's learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The weakness identified in leadership and management has the potential to affect children's welfare. However, staff are vigilant and keep children safe. Children show strong bonds with their key person and regularly invite them to play. Good behaviour is consistently encouraged. Staff are positive and encourage children to follow agreed rules. Children have many opportunities to develop their physical skills, for instance in the outside area. They balance on textured walkways and explore ways of moving. Children who are developing their movement skills are well supported to gain the strength to sit up and crawl. Children eat healthy snacks and are encouraged to do things for themselves. For instance, where appropriate, they help themselves to drinks and put away their own plates after eating. A wide range of specialist equipment is available to support children's individual needs.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children learn many skills to prepare them for their futures. Staff help to prepare older children for starting school. Parents comment on the progress children make with their social relationships, behaviour and communication skills. Additional funding is spent well, for example on new resources based on children's interests, or to close gaps in their learning. Children enjoy caring for animals kept on site; they talk fondly about 'chick chicken' and the guinea pigs called 'ham', 'egg' and 'chips'.
