The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 Staff have a clear understanding of child protection. They know the signs and symptoms they would look out for and how to report their concerns. This enables them to safeguard children's welfare.  Staff are all consistent in their approach to behaviour management. They use positive reinforcement to teach children the importance of sharing. This enables children to develop a good awareness of how to manage their own behaviour.  Children make good progress with their learning and development. This is a direct result of the good-quality teaching from the well-qualified staff team.  Staff work closely with parents and others involved in the children's care and learning. They set targets for children to work towards and monitor their progress effectively. This provides good continuity of care for the children and supports them as they move on to school.  The trustees, manager and parents all work together to drive improvement. They

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always extend children's learning opportunities during activities. For example, some staff ask children to stop moving resources around. This does not always enable children to follow their own learning experiences.  Staff occasionally miss opportunities during play to strengthen children's mathematical development. For instance, they do not always teach children about different shapes and sizes of items during play.

who attend. This is good

Staff work well together to promote children's learning and development. They carry out detailed observations and assessments of children, enabling them to identify areas to work on. These also highlight any potential gaps in children's learning so that staff are able to plan to close these gaps. Children enjoy exploring messy activities and staff promote their creative development well. For example, during the inspection, staff used a large tray with paint and various stamps and sponges for the children to explore. When it began to dry up, children used water from the tap to make more paint. The children are resourceful in their learning due to effective interactions with staff. This helps to prepare children for their next stage in learning and their eventual move to school.

good

Staff nurture children's self-esteem well. They use positive reinforcement and praise during activities, which also builds children's confidence. Staff successfully promote children's independence skills. For example, during mealtimes, children serve themselves their own meals and pour their own drinks. Children also get themselves dressed after they have been playing in the sand pit. Staff promote children's language skills through effective questioning. Children thoroughly enjoy playing outside and staff provide good- quality activities to promote their physical development. For example, children clamber up the climbing walls and climbing frames, learning to move in different ways in order to climb over.

p.3

provision is good

The provider has a good understanding of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. He makes sure that staff keep children safe through regular risk assessments and that they record all accidents and injuries. Staff are deployed effectively across the nursery to supervise the children during their play. Many staff hold current first aid qualifications so that they are able to take appropriate action in the event of an accidental injury. The provider maintains adult to child ratios, which further enables staff to keep children safe. The trustees, manager and staff effectively monitor children's progress and they evaluate the impact of staff practice on children's learning and development. All work together to make positive changes to improve the care and practice in the nursery. Regular supervisions of staff highlight any training needs. Recent training has positively influenced the good quality of the activities and care staff provide.
