The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 Staff have high expectations of all children and a strong knowledge of children's individual current achievements and next steps in learning. As a result, children are effectively supported to make good progress.  Children behave very well. They are happy and develop good levels of confidence and self-control according to their age.  Partnership working with parents is strong, supporting children's learning, development, and well-being.  Staff excellently promote older children's learning of mathematics and literacy, and support younger children to take risks in their learning. This promotes their readiness for school very well.  Strong leadership means that staff are clear in their roles and responsibilities. They receive good support to guide their professional development so that their knowledge and skills are kept up to date.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Overall, staff offer high quality provision. However, the current organisation of the outdoor environment is less stimulating than indoors. This is because staff do not always make resources easily accessible to further extend children's learning.

who attend. This is good

The environment inside is welcoming and highly simulating. Therefore, children make good progress and their learning is positively challenged. Outside, children access less challenging resources and fewer opportunities for self-choice. Nonetheless, all staff provide supporting and encouraging interactions and children engage in purposeful play throughout the day. The quality of teaching is consistently good. Children's home languages are celebrated and used as a tool to promote learning. This means all children acquire strong language skills. Younger children learn to use resources carefully and take pride in being able to complete a task, such as rolling their own work mat. Children enjoy completing complex mathematical puzzles and practising writing using pens or an electronic tablet. They do this with decreasing levels of support. This helps to promote skills for their future learning. Staff value parents' involvement in their child's learning.

who attend. This is good

Parents say they are very happy with the progress their children make in the nursery.

p.3

good

Children thrive in a relaxed and happy environment. Staff have a good awareness of their individual needs, routines and lifestyles and this successfully promotes children's sense of well-being. For example, staff work closely with parents, using story books to support children who find change difficult. Children demonstrate they feel safe and secure as they settle well and confidently interact with each other and all adults. Children develop high levels of self-esteem because they receive praise for their efforts. Staff support children to develop a healthy lifestyle and good self-care skills. Children choose when to have their snack, serve their own food and wash their cup and bowl afterwards. They are encouraged to be active and have regular access to exercise and fresh air.

p.3

provision is good

Monitoring systems are good. Management works closely with the staff in monitoring the educational programmes. They hold regular supervision meetings, staff observations and promote self-reflection amongst the staff. Staff are well qualified, motivated and passionate about their own professional development. This has a very positive impact on outcomes for children. The management implement robust policies, procedures and induction systems. Consequently, all staff have a good understanding of their responsibility to keep children safe from harm. Staff ensure the premises are safe and secure, and they carry out risk assessments to minimise hazards. The provider has well- established relationships with the local schools children go to. Good partnership work supports children's moves to the next stage in their learning.
