The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 The children enjoy quality time in the outside play areas. This enables them to develop their physical skills well.  The leadership and management team ensure staff receive comprehensive training so they fully understand how to keep children safe in their care. They understand how to use the setting's risk assessments and use these to minimise risk and hazards.  Children make good progress from their initial starting points because of the good quality teaching from staff. They extend children's learning to progress their development.  Children enjoy strong relationships with staff at the nursery who nurture their self- esteem well. Therefore, they are happy and keen to learn.  Staff have a clear understanding of safeguarding children. They can fully identify signs that may cause them to have a concern for a child. They understand the procedures for reporting any concerns they have.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always provide children with creative activities outside to enable them to express themselves through pictures and marks.  Staff sometimes miss opportunities to extend children's understanding of numbers and measurements during activities.

who attend. This is good

Children are making good progress because of the good quality teaching. Staff accurately assess children's development and plan for their next steps in learning. This means children's learning is progressive. Staff work closely with other professionals, such as local teachers, to help prepare children for school. Staff promote children's language development well. They effectively use questions to encourage children to think and respond with their ideas. Staff asked the children if they could describe the texture of celery. They confidently linked the shape of the celery to the arch of a rainbow. Children enjoy making their own playdough. Staff asked them questions to find solutions. For example, as children mixed the ingredients together, staff talked about the consistency and asked whether they needed more water or flour. The younger children thoroughly enjoy exploring boxes. They find different ways to use them. Staff talk with the children

about using the sides as a slide. They asked what could slide down and suggested different cars to see which goes faster. This helped children learn about cause and effect.

p.3

good

All staff work closely with parents to promote children's well-being. They find out children's likes and dislikes and use these to help settle the children into the nursery. Staff help children understand the nursery rules, for example, so they learn to share and take turns. They teach children how to keep themselves safe. For example, staff carry out regular fire drills to make sure children know what to do in an emergency. Staff nurture children's independence skills especially well. Children are skilled in finding their names to self-register when they arrive into the pre-school room. Staff show and encourage children how to use cutlery. Children serve themselves at mealtimes, which enable them to learn portion control and contribute to their understanding of healthy lifestyles. These developing independence skills help to prepare children for starting school.

p.3

provision is good

The leadership and management team monitors children's achievements and the planning to make sure activities help children make good progress. This also enables them to identify any gaps in children's learning. The leadership and management team attended training for supervision of staff. They now provide more regular and effective staff supervision and appraisals to assess the quality of staff practice. This means they identify and address any training needs promptly. The leadership and management team carries out robust recruitment and induction procedures. This helps ensure staff are suitable and understand their responsibilities. The manager involves parents in the evaluation of the service. She uses their views, alongside staffs, to shape improvements to the service.
