It is not yet outstanding because:

 The nursery does not always make the best use of the experience and qualifications of staff so that the provision is as efficiently managed as possible.  Leaders monitor the progress of individual children well, but have not fully established systems for comparing the progress of different groups of children, in order to check that no group is making less progress than any other.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The staff work effectively together as a team and are led well by the owner. She sets a clear direction for development. Self-evaluation is accurate and is based on the views of staff, parents and children. Staff have worked very hard to hit the ground running in their new setting. They have created an attractive and safe learning environment. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are vigilant and well trained in child protection. They ensure children play and work in safety. The staff have a good knowledge of the learning and development needs of early years children. They take regular advantage of training opportunities to keep informed. The nursery is forging links with other local early years providers. Learning opportunities for children are good. They make regular visits to local parks and shops and participate in a range of cultural festivals.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff make learning fun for children of all abilities. They use a wide range of strategies, including role play, songs and games. Resources are imaginative and attractive. Staff work closely with parents to accurately measure their children's starting points. They use this information well to plan the next stages in learning. They help all children make good progress and to develop their basic skills well. Children enjoy writing letters to Father Christmas and use their knowledge of letters and sounds and their cutting skills well. Staff provide carefully targeted support to children who find learning difficult for any reason. Parents receive daily information about their babies' and children's achievement. They have good opportunities to contribute to their children's success and broaden their experiences.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and confident in their play and work. They are busy and settle in quickly. Babies feel very secure. They establish close bonds with adults and are increasingly aware of others. They grow in confidence and learn to communicate their needs and desires well. Children learn to persist with a task until it is finished. They listen well to adults and to their peers. They enjoy joining in with action songs, stories and rhymes. Children are well behaved. Staff help children to be tolerant and to work together. Children share their toys and other resources happily. They enjoy solving problems, for example, they complete jigsaws by ordering the pieces by size and shape. Children are good at tidying up as they go along. They make decisions about which snacks to choose and enjoy trying new food experiences.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children of all abilities make good progress. Children work within the levels expected for their age when they start school. They make good progress towards well-planned targets staff set for them based on a good knowledge of their needs and previous achievement. Staff provide the challenge and support children need to succeed.
