It is not yet outstanding because:

 The outside play space is not yet fully developed to maximise children's learning and play.  Sometimes staff do not engage quiet children fully during large-group activities.  Staff do not promote children's thinking sufficiently so that they find their own solutions to problems.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Leaders and managers ensure staff have a good understanding of their responsibilities to protect children. Managers monitor the assessments of children's development consistently and put timely strategies in place to close gaps in learning. For instance, they ensure staff understand how to provide extra support for children with less well-developed language skills. Staff have opportunities to discuss their aspirations and extend their professional development through regular training. Leaders and managers work well with other professionals and providers to ensure children get effective support to make good progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The well-qualified staff promote children's learning effectively. They assess children's current levels of achievement accurately and use the information to plan for each child's further learning. Staff provide many opportunities for children to practise skills and they repeat aspects of activities to reinforce learning. For example, during large-group activities they encourage counting several times. Staff help pre-school children to make good links so that their learning is meaningful. They encourage children to look for items within the room that are of similar colours to those shown on cards. Children's language skills are well promoted as they explain their ideas while they fill dumper trucks in the digging area. Experienced staff support the exploratory and sensory play of younger children very well. They are extremely alert to children's changing preferences and highly skilled at adapting activities promptly to suit the stage of development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are totally at ease in the nursery because key persons promote children's emotional well-being positively. Children learn about the world around them through activities, such as food sampling and celebrations of festivals. Staff are good role models who interact respectfully with colleagues. Children copy what they see and this is reflected in their good behaviour. Staff encourage all children, including younger ones to take turns at using resources. This ensures they learn to have regard for the needs of others. Pre- school children have a real sense of achievement as they take responsibility for some chores. They help staff to lay the tables in preparation for lunch and children serve their own food under close supervision.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All groups of children, including those in receipt of additional funding, make good progress from their starting points. Children develop independence skills and learn to attend to their personal needs. They sound out letters in songs and count items during play or activities. Children enjoy making marks and also write the letters in their names. They are well prepared for their move within the nursery, and on to school.
