Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The management team and staff have made good progress since the previous inspection to improve the quality of the provision. They have developed a clear understanding of statutory requirements, including when to notify Ofsted of significant events and changes to the manager and committee. They follow thorough recruitment procedures to ensure all adults are suitable to work with children, and collect and store data responsibly. The management team and staff understand the risks to children and take action in the event of any concerns about a child, to safeguard their welfare. Partnerships with parents are good. Staff regularly exchange information about children's learning and development. Parents share their views of the provision, which the manager uses in her self-evaluations to drive further improvements.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff observe and assess children's progress effectively. They use what they know about children to plan their next steps for learning each week. Staff use good teaching skills to engage children in activities and to help them achieve well. For example, they provide fun story times to develop children's interest in books. Staff ask children questions about the pictures and story to involve them well and to encourage their language skills. They introduce new words to build their vocabulary, such as explaining what 'lazy' means. Staff build on children's mathematical development well. For instance, they count with the younger children and encourage older children to name numerals and to compare quantities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a safe and secure environment with a good range of play resources for children to choose for themselves. Children benefit from lots of outdoor play where they run freely and enjoy physical activities. They create their own games and ideas, such as pulling tubes up the hill to create structures to roll balls down. Staff encourage children to test their own boundaries and physical abilities safely. For instance, children gain the confidence to progress from sliding down the hill on their bottoms to running, which they excitedly repeat as their confidence grows. Staff help children to learn about their local community and the world, such as on weekly 'wellie walks'. They take picture cards and magnifying glasses to find and identify creatures, listen to the sounds in the woods and draw what they find to then talk about when they return.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the skills they need for their future learning, to help prepare them for school. They develop good independence and self-confidence. Children of all ages help to set the tables for snack and chop and peel the fruits. They use different one-handed tools, such as water sprayers, and enjoy lots of writing activities to develop their literacy. Children make their own choices confidently and use their imaginations well. For example, younger children make pretend cupcakes with soil in the garden 'mud kitchen', which they then bake in the toy cooker.
