The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 Staff provide a stimulating and well-resourced learning environment both indoors and outside. As a result, most children make good progress in the key areas of communication and language, physical and social development.  Staff have clearly defined roles and generally work well together for the benefit of the children.  Staff teach children good personal hygiene practices to promote their good health and their understanding of healthy lifestyles.  Staff promote children's safety and well-being through comprehensive and consistent risk assessments. This ensures children are cared for in a safe and secure environment.  Management dedicates time to supporting the professional development of staff and provides individual supervision meetings. Together, they identify training needs to help improve their already effective practice to promote positive outcomes for children.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Routine times are not always planned effectively. As a result, children occasionally lose interest during some activities.  Staff do not always give children sufficient time to finish activities, to further promote their interest and motivation.

who attend. This is good

Staff plan interesting activities to cover all areas of learning well. For example, outdoors, children enjoyed exploring the textures of sand and shredded paper, finding hidden toys. Staff interaction with children is of a good standard. There is a very strong emphasis on developing children's communication and language skills and the quality of teaching and learning is very good. Some children demonstrate their competent levels of understanding as they use signs and symbols to communicate their needs. Staff respond using speech and signs together to promote their understanding. Staff support children learning English as an additional language by verbalising what they are doing so they can hear clearly spoken English. Parents say that staff are welcoming and share their children's progress with them. Young children develop good social skills for their next move to nursery and school, as they enjoy frequent visits and play sessions. The manager regularly tracks and

good

Staff have good knowledge of every child's needs and interests. Consequently, they meet all children's emotional and physical needs very well. Children behave well. Staff apply consistent boundaries sensitively across the nursery. Children enjoy healthy, nutritious meals which are prepared on the premises and staff talk to the children about being healthy. Children develop good self-help skills. For example, they help themselves to finger foods and independently feed themselves. Outdoor learning and activities are available every day so that children can enjoy physical play with the exciting range of resources and activities available. Children regularly participate in evacuation drills, so they understand what to do and how to behave in an emergency. These experiences positively contribute to children developing a sense of danger and help them to learn how to keep themselves safe.

provision is good

Management follows effective safe recruitment procedures to ensure the suitability of staff. Management values the views of staff, parents and children. Therefore, everyone contributes to the self-evaluation process to strengthen practice further to make continuous improvements. Staff attended baby training at the beginning of the year, which involved focusing on how babies develop. This has had a positive impact on practice as staff further reflect on the importance of the activities they provide for babies. Staff and management maintain good continuity for children's learning and care due to the effective partnerships with parents and other professionals.
