p.1

This provision is good

 The well-qualified staff team know the children they are working with really well. They know what their next steps in learning are. All staff effectively support children's learning and development, so that they make good progress.  Staff are very effective in supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They make very good use of partnership working with other agencies to ensure that children get appropriate support according to their specific needs.  Staff effectively manage support for children as they start at the setting and move on to other rooms. They carefully tailor this according to how comfortable children are to ensure their emotional well-being is always supported.  Staff share precise and useful information with parents and carers about children's learning and development. They give relevant examples of why they have identified particular next steps in learning. They encourage parents and carers to share examples

of children's learning at home to ensure there is consistency.  The management team undertake very thorough evaluation of practice within the nursery. They include contributions from staff, parents, carers and children to identify areas for improvement. They set themselves challenging targets for the future.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasion, staff communicate with children in ways that do not fully support children's speaking skills.  The organisation of the environment occasionally prevents children from fully engaging in their play and extending their own games.

who attend. This is good

Staff provide a good range of activities to support children's learning and development. Staff are very positive in their interactions with children and this motivates children to want to join in. Staff in the baby room skilfully support children's physical development through very good use of resources and a variety of activities. Staff effectively maintain children's attention during stories and songs. They show the actions individually to each child and move the book closer, while asking questions, so that children think about the characters. Staff make good use of recent training to support children to learn new words and sounds, and to pronounce words correctly. They effectively use sign language with very young children to reinforce what they are saying. However, on occasion, staff do not always fully support the speaking skills of older children. For example, they sometimes talk to children during their play in a way that limits their response to a one-word answer.

good

Children of all ages develop a very good bond with staff. Staff are very effective in helping children to learn how to manage their own behaviour in readiness for their move on to school. For example, staff calmly and clearly guide children to recognise their own feelings and the impact these have on others. Staff use lots of different opportunities to support children's understanding of a healthy lifestyle. For example, they talk to them during routines where children need to wash their hands, or plan activities where children learn about the effects of the sun. Staff consistently give clear explanations of why some things may be unsafe to support children's understanding. Staff consistently implement policies and procedures to ensure children's safety and good health within the nursery. Each room is well planned so that children can access age-appropriate toys and resources independently. However, the organisation of the space is not always fully effective in

good

every area. For example, children sometimes interrupt others in the eco-garden because they cannot move around comfortably. They are not always able to extend their play into other areas.

p.3

provision is good

The management team are strong and effective leaders. They are committed to fully meeting the needs of the children in the nursery and are very receptive to feedback from others. This means that they are always looking for ways to develop and improve the already good practice. Staff receive regular and effective supervision to develop their practice. Staff evaluate training they have attended to identify how this can benefit the children they are working with. They also cascade information to others to develop knowledge and skills across the nursery team. Staff have a confident understanding of child protection issues, because they have regular training and constant reminders of the procedures they should follow. The management team carefully monitor the progress of all children, including funded two-year-olds to identify any gaps in learning.
