The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 Relationships between staff and children are positive. Consequently, children are confident to ask for help and support, whenever required.  Staff work well with parents. They ask them about their children's experiences at home and share regular assessments. As a result, this shared approach promotes children's learning and development effectively.  Staff provide a good balance of activities, including those led by adults or ones that children can freely choose. These experiences help children to learn at their own pace.  Staff plan activities to help children explore living things and the natural world. Visits to places of interest help children to develop a good understanding of the cultural diversity around them.  Staff benefit from accessing training to develop their practice further, such as ways to manage children's behaviour. Leaders provide regular supervision to support and improve staff practice and meet the needs of all children.

 Management ensures that staff implement detailed policies and procedures consistently. Staff keep accurate records, which they regularly review to promote children's welfare, health and safety.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always make the most of daily routines to extend children's skills in counting and comparing quantities.  Staff miss opportunities to make full use of the outdoor area at times, particularly during all seasons, to support those children who enjoy learning outdoors.

who attend. This is good

Staff provide a good range of activities to support children in all areas of learning. They use a variety of teaching styles, strategies and resources to extend children's learning experiences. Through well-targeted support, staff ensure that children make good progress in relation to their starting points on entry. As a result, children are developing good communication and language skills. Children take an active part in storytelling; they listen attentively and respond well to requests. They learn to take turns and share resources fairly, thus displaying good social skills. Children's interest in painting leads them to explore how colours change when they have been mixed. Staff introduce some mathematical concepts, particularly to help children sort and match objects, describe shapes and develop their skills to solve problems. Therefore, staff effectively prepare children for the next stage of their learning and for school.

p.3

good

The nursery staff create a welcoming environment. As a result, children are happy, and show they feel safe and secure. Children enjoy and benefit from adult support, particularly when engaged in an activity or having snacks. Staff teach children right from wrong actions, and help them to respect and show consideration to one another. Staff help children to understand the importance of following good hygiene routines to promote their physical health, including the benefits of eating nutritious snacks and meals. Overall, staff generally plan the outdoor area for children to take part in physical play as well as to support other areas of learning. Staff conduct regular emergency evacuation drills to foster children's awareness of danger and help them manage risks safely.

p.3

provision is good

Leaders are fully aware of their roles and responsibilities to meet all the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. They closely monitor children's progress and support staff to develop a good understanding of how children learn and develop. Consequently, children's assessment records clearly show they are making good progress. All staff attend child protection training to safeguard children and know what to do should a concern arise. The management team undertakes all of the necessary vetting checks on staff to ensure their suitability to work with children. Staff carry out detailed risk assessments of the premises and resources to identify and reduce any potential risks, both indoors and outdoors. Leaders evaluate the quality of practice regularly taking into account the views of parents, children and others. This enables them to keep up to date with their practice and to set challenging targets to further improve outcomes for all children.
