p.1

This provision is good

 The management and staff have worked hard to overcome identified weaknesses. Their clear drive for improvement and targeted action plan has been successful in ensuring significant progress, which benefits the children.  Children play in a stimulating and well-resourced environment, which supports their all- round development. They play well independently and are becoming active and inquisitive learners.  Staff know the children well and regularly assess and plan for their individual development. As a result, children make good progress in their learning.  Staff promote children's literacy well. Children can easily reach plenty of tools and materials, both in and outdoors, to develop their early writing skills.  Staff have a good understanding of safeguarding and child protection issues and their responsibilities to provide a safe and secure environment for children.  Children benefit from the provision of healthy and nutritious meals and snacks.

This provision is good

 Staff establish strong partnerships with parents, who are encouraged to get actively involved in the nursery and share their children's achievements at home.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff interact positively with the children although, at times, they do not give children sufficient time to think and talk. For example, sometimes they count for the children, missing opportunities to develop children's understanding of numbers.  Staff do not always make the most of noticing and following on from children's interests to extend their experiences and imagination further during role play.

who attend. This is good

Children enjoy their time at the nursery. They are confident and motivated to learn as they make choices about where and how they want to play. Planned activities take into account the children's individual abilities and stages of development. The quality of teaching is good and positive interaction from the staff skilfully motivates children to play and learn. Overall, staff offer additional resources during children's play to extend children's learning experiences well. They encourage children to learn to do things for themselves and the children show good independence skills. Children confidently operated the computer and completed a simple program. Children communicate well with their friends. They enjoyed sitting quietly looking at books together, happily chatting about the pictures.

to develop children's vocabulary further. The parents receive regular information about their children's progress. Staff send home activities parents can do at home to strengthen children's learning.

good

Staff know the children well. All children have an allocated special person who works closely with parents to discuss children's individual needs. This helps foster a good sense of security and emotional well-being for the children. Children develop good relationships and learn about each other's differences through displays and activities. They play and work alongside their friends, understanding the need to cooperate, such as waiting patiently to serve their own snacks. They know about the golden rules and listen well to others during group activities. Some children independently use the large sand timer to work out when it is their turn to play with a popular toy. This all helps prepare children for the next stage in their learning and their move on to school. Children join in with a wide range of activities outdoors to promote their good health. Staff have a good understanding of their role to keep and promote children's health, safety and well-being.

p.3

provision is good

The management and staff have a good understanding of the requirements and implement these effectively. Thorough recruitment arrangements check staff suitability to work with children. The qualified team of staff work together very well. This means the sessions run smoothly and all children receive good care and support. Training, such as promoting early literacy, has helped staff improve children's learning. The manager has implemented effective systems to help her review staff performance and to monitor how well the children are progressing. Close links between staff, other agencies and the local schools, help to provide continuity for children's care, learning and development
