The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 Well-established methods help children to form secure attachments with particular staff members. These relationships promote children's well-being effectively and secure a strong base for learning.  Staff consistently give priority to children's safety. Staff support children's growing understanding of how to keep themselves safe.  Effective leadership and management has brought about many improvements since the previous inspection. In particular, there is now a strong focus on outdoor learning, which has had a positive effect on children's well-being and progress, and has helped the staff maintain the nursery's high standards.  The nursery secures appropriate interventions for children through effective liaison with other agencies, which makes a strong contribution to meeting children's needs.  The nursery has good relationships with parents who appreciate opportunities for them to be involved in their children's care and learning. These communications keep parents

who attend. This is good

Staff provide an interesting range of activities both indoors and outside. They allow children to use resources as they wish to extend their play. For example, the pre-school children enjoyed creating a big pirate ship out of large cardboard boxes. Staff make good use of the allotment area to support children's physical development and their understanding of the world around them. Toddlers learn by exploring; for instance, they handle some natural materials with interest. Staff effectively follow children's lead and match their teaching to children's individual development. This means each child receives the level of support or challenge they need. Teaching for older children effectively focuses on extending their levels of independence and thinking. Good teaching helps children become good listeners and to gain confidence, such as in speaking in front of others. Children develop the early skills needed in readiness for the move to school.

p.3

good

Children have positive relationships with staff and one another. From the moment they arrive, staff provide children with good levels of support. This helps children understand staff expectations so children behave well. They form friendships, learn to take turns and to manage their personal needs ready for the next stage in their development. For example, children become accustomed to washing their hands after toileting and before eating as part of daily routines. Staff look after children well so they are safe and protected.

p.3

provision is good

The manager has a good understanding of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage and uses her qualification and experience to check rigorously that these are implemented well. The manager reviews the quality of the nursery and draws up plans for improvement. The nursery has thorough policies and procedures that are shared with staff at induction and during team meetings. This approach helps staff understand their responsibilities. Recommendations from the previous inspection have been addressed which has increased parental involvement in children's learning and in the evaluation process. Staff training has improved the quality of teaching. For example, children now benefit from regular forest school experiences.
