It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, staff offer too much direction to children during activities such as arts and crafts. As a result, children are not always able to explore their own ideas and pursue their imaginations.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The management team and staff have a clear understanding of their role in safeguarding children. They maintain a daily record of attendance, including a record of visitors, and carry out regular risk assessments. Consequently, children are cared for in a safe, welcoming environment. The manager strives to improve practice and regularly supervises staff to monitor and evaluate the quality and standards at the nursery. A range of written policies underpin the safe and efficient running of the nursery and these are updated regularly to reflect changes in guidance and legislation. The manager implements robust recruitment procedures to ensure the suitability of staff, which helps to keep children safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good understanding of the learning and development requirements. They use effective planning and assessment methods to promote children's learning. Key persons regularly carry out observations and track children's development on a secure online journal. This ensures parents are well informed and feel confident to contribute to their children's progress. As a result, children are well looked after. Strong working relationships with the local authority enable staff to make good use of the knowledge and training opportunities on offer. Staff have good links to local schools, which support children as they move on to school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's behaviour is exemplary because their individual needs are met and they learn what is expected of them. They are kind to each other and develop affectionate relationships with their friends. Staff are sensitive to children's emotions and respond warmly when they are distressed. As a result, children feel secure. Staff have a proactive approach to promoting health and personal development, and have been awarded with a 'Healthy Eating' certificate from Hounslow Council. Children learn to grow their vegetables in the allotment and enjoy positive mealtime experiences that take account of their individual dietary needs. The newly refurbished back garden offers children plenty of opportunity to play and benefit from physical exercise. The highly effective key-person system ensures that children form secure attachments to promote their welfare and well- being.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Staff provide interesting activities for younger children to promote the skills needed for the next stage of their learning. For example, babies enjoy experimenting with colours as they use brushes on a magic mat. Older children develop their early literacy skills as they learn about letters and sounds. However, staff do not always give them freedom to be creative using their own ideas, especially during free play. Children who are learning English as an additional language make good progress. Staff ask parents for familiar words in the children's home languages to support effective communication. A positive equality and diversity practice helps children to value individuality.
