The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 Children consistently make good progress in relation to their starting points. They enjoy the range of activities the nursery provides to help them learn and develop. Staff support children well in developing the necessary skills in readiness for school. Children show a positive attitude to learning.  Behaviour is good. Children are learning to become independent, take turns and play together, with guidance from adults. Staff have very warm and secure relationships with children.  Staff promote a healthy lifestyle for children. They ensure that children follow appropriate hygiene routines, enjoy healthy and nutritious snacks and meals and benefit from daily outdoor play.  Staff are knowledgeable about the procedures to follow should a concern about children's safeguarding arise.  Partnerships with parents are strong and effective in supporting children's learning and development. Children settle quickly and well and feel a sense of belonging in the

nursery. Parents are very positive about their children's care, learning and development.  Managers identify clear priorities for improvement, including staff training needs. The well-qualified staff contribute to the self-evaluation process, which also takes into account the views of parents.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always plan and organise the use of the outdoor environment highly effectively.  The good partnership working established with some nurseries and schools is not as strongly embedded across all early years providers that children also attend.

who attend. This is good

Teaching is good. The well-qualified staff use their knowledge well to promote children's learning and development. They skilfully use questioning to support the development of children's good communication and language skills. Staff complete accurate observations of what children can do. They use these observations to identify what children need to learn next. Regular exchanges of information about children's achievements and parents' contributions to assessments help to ensure children's learning is continued at home. Children have good opportunities to make independent choices and follow their own interests in the play areas indoors. They are confident and engage enthusiastically in a wide range of activities. However, staff do not always enable children, particularly those who learn best outside, to explore a wide range of learning opportunities outdoors.

good

Children form close relationships with staff and strong friendships with each other. Settling-in procedures are flexible and are adapted to meet individual children's needs. Staff give children praise throughout their play. They encourage children to develop their independence skills in readiness for the next stage of their learning. This helps to promote children's confidence and self-esteem. All staff provide positive role models. They remind children to be kind, share equipment and take turns. Children's behaviour is consistently good. Staff support children to develop an understanding of healthy lifestyles. Children enjoy fresh air and physical exercise in the outdoor play areas. Staff provide children with a range of healthy snacks, meals and continuous access to drinking water. Parents are very positive about the care their children receive.

p.3

provision is good

Managers demonstrate a very good understanding of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. A robust recruitment procedure is in place. This helps to ensure that all children are cared for by suitable adults. A thorough induction programme is completed. All staff have secure knowledge of the safeguarding policies and what to do should they have concerns about a child's welfare. They benefit from regular updates on first aid, food hygiene and safeguarding training. Staff are supported through regular observations of their teaching and through supervision. This helps to identify appropriate training opportunities to enhance their practice even further. Good practice in teaching is shared across the team. Managers complete thorough self-evaluation processes. They take into account the views of parents, other professionals, children and staff when identifying priorities for continuous improvements to the provision. The manager supports staff in

tracking the progress of individuals and groups of children, and in identifying and addressing any support needs. The nursery exchanges quality two-way information with some early years providers; however, this is not yet extended to all of the nurseries and schools attended by children.
