p.1

This provision is good

 Very good teaching and well-planned, focused activities mean children make very good progress in all areas of learning. Staff assess children's progress extremely thoroughly in order to identify and address any gaps in learning very quickly and effectively. Children are very well prepared for the next stage in their learning.  Staff engage children and challenge their thinking very well. They use children's particular interests to extend their learning. There is a very strong partnership with parents, as staff involve them in children's learning.  There are very good relationships between staff and children in a very happy and welcoming environment. Children's behaviour is excellent, as staff manage this very effectively. Children's needs are extremely well met so that they are emotionally secure.  Children are safe because staff implement detailed and comprehensive safeguarding policies and procedures. They are very well trained in safeguarding and child

protection, and this is given a high priority in the nursery.  The monitoring and self-evaluation in the nursery are extremely thorough and well documented. Staff work as a strong team, which means there is continuous improvement in children's learning experiences. Very effective partnerships with other professionals and early years providers mean that all children and staff are very well supported and ideas are shared.

who attend. This is good

Staff extend all children's language and vocabulary well. This is particularly good in the pre-school room. Staff take every opportunity to create fun, purposeful learning experiences for four- and five-year-old children. Staff challenge children as they question them skilfully about how they can make a garage big enough for the car they choose. Children's wonderful imaginations are encouraged through discussions about what they might do with a 'magic wand'. They enthusiastically suggest ideas for a story and take turns to decide what will happen next. Children have many opportunities throughout the nursery to explore textures and use their creativity. Staff provide all kinds of textures in which children are helped to make marks and patterns. This develops their early writing skills very well. Babies enjoy feeling and tasting syrup, porridge oats, custard powder and many other foods. Two-year-old children enjoy being active outdoors, as staff help them

to use the slide and wheeled toys. They concentrate well to build models from a construction set. Children who speak English as an additional language and who have special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported very well.

p.3

good

The caring staff tailor each child's care to their changing needs. This means that children are very secure. If younger children need to sleep at a different time to their usual routine, their mealtimes are changed to take account of this. There are excellent relationships between staff and children. Healthy eating is promoted very effectively. Children enjoy the home-cooked meals provided by the nursery. Staff ensure all children enjoy social time during meals. They also maximise learning opportunities at these times, encouraging children to count and think about where their food comes from. Staff teach children to share and take turns. They model good manners and respect so children copy this. Staff praise children frequently so that they gain confidence and good self-esteem and know that their opinions are valued. Children learn to be independent so they are ready for school. They are secure in their moves to new rooms as this is well planned.

good

However, this process is not always as highly effective when children move to other settings.

p.3

provision is good

The highly-motivated management team has made significant improvements since the last inspection. They have implemented a clear action plan with the support of the local authority, which has led to great improvements in teaching, planning and children's progress. Staff qualifications and extensive training have had a valuable impact on children's progress, particularly in the development of their language. Staff observe each other's practice and the manager carries out regular observations in order to assess and target improvements. Well-qualified staff attend a wide range of ongoing training to shape their professional development.
