p.1

This provision is good

 Children receive effective support from staff to help them make good progress from their starting points, especially in older children's mathematical development.  The management team supports staff well and uses robust systems to risk assess the environment to provide a safe and secure place for children to play and explore.  The management team monitors children's progress closely. They ensure that children who need extra support to close gaps in their learning benefit from the additional resources and input to help them progress. The management team works well with outside agencies to support children's individual needs.  Staff receive good support to develop their skills and knowledge. The management team supports staff well through induction, professional development meetings and appraisals to review their effectiveness and meet children's needs. They help them to identify weaker areas and attend training that improves children's experiences.

This provision is good

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff in the toddler room do not always provide opportunities for children to do things for themselves and learn new skills, for example, at mealtimes.  The nursery's self-evaluation process does not include the views and opinions of parents to help the management team identify further areas to develop.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The management team's effective input to develop staff's skills through training means children receive improved support, for example, in their communication. The robust support processes ensure that staff are clear about the nursery's policies and procedures and are up to date with any reviews or changes to practice. Safeguarding is effective. The management team and staff know what to do if they have any child protection concerns about a child's welfare. Self-evaluation of the nursery is effective overall, to ensure continuous changes and positive outcomes for children. The management team uses it well to identify areas to improve, for example, to develop children's outdoor learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff engage skilfully in children's play and promote learning effectively, giving children ample opportunity to choose resources, books and activities independently that interest them. Children are motivated to explore and play, and staff follow their lead to promote their learning more effectively. Staff successfully capture children's interest during free play, helping to promote children's learning and ideas. They provide good opportunities for children to develop language and mathematical skills as they play. For example, challenging activities for the older toddlers around mathematics encourage them to identify different sizes, lengths, volumes and weights.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy, safe and confident in the nursery environment. Staff work well with parents to meet children's individual care and learning needs. Together, they help children achieve developmental milestones. Staff successfully involve parents in their children's learning and identify next steps with them to promote a more consistent approach between learning at home and the nursery. Children enjoy the learning opportunities and display good self-confidence and self-esteem. Staff teach children about keeping safe and following healthy hygiene routines. Staff build positive relationships with children and are good role models. Children enjoy the staff interaction during their play and benefit from the close relationships that help them to achieve. Children throughout the nursery behave well and show care and consideration for others.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident learners who enjoy exploring and being active. Effective staff assessment of children's learning needs supports staff well to ensure activities and their interaction help children's good progress. Children are socially and emotionally secure, and prepared well for future learning and moving on to school.
