The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 The well-qualified staff team provide a stimulating and well resourced environment. Children are extremely busy and motivated to learn. As a result, they make good progress in all areas of learning.  Children have plenty of opportunities for fresh air and exercise. They are able to play in the exciting outdoor areas in all weathers. Children thrive as they play, explore and investigate a wealth of resources and their natural surroundings.  Staff have formed strong partnerships with other professionals involved in children's care. This means that a consistent, shared approach has been established to achieve the best outcomes for children.  Exceptional support is given to children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff are attentive and provide a range of learning experiences to stimulate children. Targeted plans are followed to ensure children have their individual needs met very well.

who attend. This is good

The overall level of teaching is good because staff have a strong knowledge and understanding of how to promote children's learning. The children enjoy exciting activities based on their interests and learning needs. For example, when older children build with construction pieces, they are challenged to use tape measures to find out how tall their rockets are. The learning is extended by encouraging children to draw their rockets and write signs to put next to them. Staff effectively support younger children in the emotional, physical and communication areas of their development. This allows children to develop a good range of skills to prepare them for their next stage in learning. Children learn to listen well. They tap out sounds using musical instruments, then listen carefully and copy the sounds their friends make. They also listen attentively to favourite stories and make their own story books. However, some staff overlook opportunities to fully

encourage and extend children's speaking skills. This is because children are not always given enough time to respond fully to questions. Staff make regular observations and assessments of children's progress. This helps them to plan for what children need to learn next, so that children make good progress. Parents are very positive about the provision and comment that staff keep them well informed about their child's progress.

good

Attachments between staff and children are strong. Staff encourage children to share and take turns, and children behave well. Children show they are very happy and settled in the nursery. They are confident to explore the environment and gain a good understanding of how to do things for themselves safely. For example, they climb trees and chop their own fruit at snack time. Staff teach children about how they can lead healthy lifestyles. They have lengthy discussions at mealtimes about what food is good for them. Physical development is promoted well. For example, staff provide a range of activities for children to develop their small and large muscle skills.

p.3

provision is good

The provider and managers have a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities to meet the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Management follow clear recruitment and induction procedures to ensure staff are suitable to work with children. Staff have regular appraisal meetings and training opportunities. Systems are in place for management to check that children are making good progress. Reviews and action plans are used to help maintain the quality of practice. Managers observe staff and check on all aspects of their teaching. However, these systems are not always used precisely enough to swiftly identify areas for improvement, so that the overall quality of teaching is raised further. There are strong links with external agencies and appropriate additional support is gained for children when needed.
