This provision is good

 The teaching in this well-organised nursery is good and, on occasion, inspirational. Staff get to know the interests and learning needs of the children through accurate assessments.

The well-qualified and knowledgeable staff team has a good understanding of how to support young children's learning and development.  Managers are ambitious and have wide-ranging development plans in place.

closely with staff and parents to achieve continuous improvements for the direct benefit of children.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The environment does not consistently support the learning needs of some of the younger children at times, when children are having a rest or sleep.  Occasionally, opportunities for children to listen to each other and cooperate on an activity are missed.

 The inspector observed staff interacting with the children and the impact this has on children's development and learning in every age group.  The inspector spoke to some parents and took account of their views.

She also reviewed a selection of policies and procedures underpinning the practice, including those supporting safeguarding.  The inspector and manager carried out a joint observation of teaching and learning.  The inspector spoke to members of staff and children at appropriate times during the inspection and held meetings with the nursery's owner and manager.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The managers have high expectations of the nursery and are committed to driving continuous improvement. For example, they identified the need for more opportunities for imaginative outdoor play, using natural resources. The children now enjoy these experiences in the newly created secret garden area. The leadership team understands the importance of effective supervision and professional development as a means to improve outcomes for children. Recent training has effectively supported staff to engage and enthuse children even more in their learning. Parents report that they are very pleased with the care and learning their children receive. Parents' views are sought and valued. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure understanding of their responsibilities to protect children from harm. Risk assessments and consistently safe working practices create a safe environment for all children. The monitoring of the

curriculum is effective. This helps to ensure children develop a wide variety of skills, including the key skills they need for starting school.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Planning, assessment and tracking of children's development are focused, precise and effective. Any gaps or delays in children's development are quickly identified and appropriate additional support is put in place. Staff expertly promote children's communication skills. They respond to children's interests and curiosities by interacting exceptionally well throughout the day. Older children are confident and enthusiastic about joining in during interactive storytelling. Children are provided with props to help them engage and bring stories to life. Through a wide range of activities, staff help the children to take turns and share resources in ways that are appropriate to their age.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The nursery staff have developed close links with the local children's centre. They work together to provide consistent support for parents with issues such as toilet training and weaning. Staff ensure that children can eat at their own pace and the nursery provides healthy meals and snacks. Younger children are effectively encouraged to try new foods in different ways through introducing a food of the week. Staff are good role models and have high expectations of the children. Children fully understand what is expected of them and demonstrate very good behaviour. Staff make effective use of opportunities to promote children's development of independence, including their self-care skills. For example, older children gain a sense of esteem and responsibility by being monitors of different areas. Children are confident and self-motivated and their emotional well-being is promoted effectively. Children demonstrate, through their behaviour, that they feel secure

and settled with the adults who are caring for them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their individual starting points. Staff have a good understanding of these starting points as they obtain detailed information from parents when children begin attending. Children develop a positive attitude towards learning and are well prepared for the next stage of their education and their eventual move to school.
