This provision is good

n Partnerships with parents are good. Parents speak positively about the setting. They praise how well the staff know the children, how quickly children settle in, and how much their children love attending. n The manager actively seeks the views of staff, parents and children to evaluate the quality of the provision. The information is used to continually improve the standards of care and the experiences offered to children. n The provider has acted on the recommendations from the last inspection, and continues to maintain the good quality of the setting. For example, children have more opportunities to demonstrate their independence by preparing their own snacks and selecting how they would like to take part in the activities on offer. n Staff work closely with teachers from the school. They gather information to good effect and use this to provide a wide range of activities and experiences. n Partnerships with the school are very collaborative. For instance, children's behaviour is

supported in a consistent manner that children are familiar with.

They are familiar with the resources on offer and take part in a broad variety of compelling activities. n The manager holds regular supervision sessions with the staff team. However, she does not focus enough on the quality of interactions with children in order to further complement their learning at school.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff have a good knowledge of the procedures to follow and who to contact in the event of a safeguarding concern about a child. They are alert to possible indicators of abuse. The manager discusses safeguarding case studies with staff to embed their knowledge and apply it in real-life situations. Staff are proactive in sharing ideas for how to attract children's interest in activities. Since the last inspection, the manager has secured a move to the current premises which are warm, light and spacious. This provides children with a safe and welcoming environment in which to enjoy their time. Overall, staff receive ongoing support from the manager. They receive regular team meetings, appraisals and training to help develop their skills. Staff are well qualified.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The setting complements the education that children receive in school. Staff plan activities based on current topics in the school, which attracts children's interest. Children's creative skills are promoted. For example, they choose to write about, draw, or make models of pirate ships from a range of craft materials, while others make model boats from blocks. Children are actively engaged in activities and talk enthusiastically about how they plan to complete their designs, and are proud of the final outcome. Staff know the children well and support them in an enjoyable way. Younger children are encouraged to persevere with activities, which supports their resilience in learning. Children are interested in the activities on offer and concentrate for extended periods of time to complete the tasks they work on. Staff support children's ongoing literacy development. For instance, they offer lots of opportunities to continue developing early

writing skills, reminding children how to form letters and write their names. Children benefit from opportunities to play outside on the school field in a variety of games, which supports their ongoing physical development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff have clear expectations of children's behaviour at the setting and their approach is consistent with that of the school. Children's behaviour is good. Young children know that it is safe to challenge unfair behaviour and that they can speak to an adult if needed. Staff talk to children about their day in school, valuing their opinions and respecting their feelings. This helps children to feel a sense of belonging. Children of all ages treat each other and adults respectfully. Children are well mannered, wait to take their turn, and offer their help to others proactively. There is a true sense of camaraderie at the setting. Older children show a genuine interest in what younger children are doing, spontaneously praising them and acting as true role models. Children talk enthusiastically about having fun with their friends at the setting, remarking, 'I never like leaving'. This is further evidenced by children's desire to stay at the setting even when

their parents have long since arrived to collect them. Parents talk positively about how the staff have helped their children to settle, and how they have seen their children's confidence grow since starting at the setting.
