This provision is good

n The provider consistently reflects on the service she provides. She actively seeks the views of children, who share their ideas for activities and resources as they hang their 'wishes' on a 'wishing tree'. n Partnerships with parents are strong. Parents are encouraged to be involved in the pre- school. For example, they spend time helping with different activities. They are supported in extending their children's learning at home. Children benefit from the continuity in their learning. n Staff are dedicated, warm and caring. They nurture children's emotional well-being. Children create strong bonds with staff, and friendships with each other. Children flourish in the welcoming and inclusive atmosphere staff carefully create. n Children enjoy learning about leading a healthy lifestyle. They talk excitedly about the importance of cleaning their teeth, eating good food and exercising. Children develop

an understanding of how to keep themselves safe and well. Staff support children's physical development. n At times, group activities are not focused as sharply as possible on the learning they are intended to support. n While the provider tracks the progress of individual children well, she does not monitor groups of children as effectively.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The provider ensures staff are confident in their understanding of the signs and symptoms which may give them cause for concern about a child's welfare and they know the procedures to follow. Staff are aware of how to identify any children who may be at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas or behaviours. Safeguarding is effective. The provider works effectively with other professionals to support children's learning and development. She ensures she obtains consent from parents before she makes any referrals. This particularly supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. All children's outcomes are improved. The provider supports staff's professional development, for example, through consistent supervision and training. Staff use their new knowledge effectively, for instance, as they engage with new systems of monitoring children's speech and language development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff create a wide range of interesting and stimulating resources which support all areas of learning. Children benefit from staff constantly seeking to enrich their learning experiences. For example, they learn about the natural world. Children closely examine spiders and other insects that staff have collected and placed in magnifying containers. They watch short films showing how a snake sheds its skin, and are captivated by what they see. Children enjoy using technology and eagerly demonstrate how they take photographs. Mathematical learning is woven into a wide range of children's activities. For example, children create charts recording how tall they are and delight in measuring staff. All children make good progress from their different starting points.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Celebrating the diversity of children who attend the pre-school is at the centre of staff's practice. Boys and girls use a wide variety of resources equally. For example, boys dress up and use their developing imaginations and girls create balancing games and build 'dinosaurs' out of building blocks. They enjoy regular trips into the local community, for instance visiting the library and different places of worship. Children learn about people whose experiences may be different to their own.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are sociable, confident and self-motivated. They spontaneously use their learning to express their thoughts and ideas. As they share stickers, they talk about what they are doing, and count how many they have got. Children create games and direct their own activities, for example giggling as they play hide and seek and happily sharing their space and time with each other. Children enjoy books, stories and singing. They are prepared well for the next stage in their learning, including school.
