 The management team is aware of the setting's strengths and how they can continue developing practice to improve outcomes for children and their families. Staff and parents are effectively involved in the self-evaluation process.  Staff are knowledgeable about each child's level of development. They make accurate assessments of what the children know and can do. Senior members of the staff team oversee future planning to ensure children's ongoing learning is securely focused.  Staff support children's emotional security; they share warm relationships with them and are sensitive towards their individual needs. Transitions as children move rooms are effectively managed and parents are fully engaged in every step of the process.  Partnerships with parents are outstanding. Displays throughout the nursery provide a wealth of information about the Early Years Foundation Stage. The management team provides regular newsletters and bulletins for parents helping them to enhance their

It is not yet outstanding because:

 While staff provide children with activities that display scientific experiments, children do not always have opportunities to fully understand the process of change, and cause and effect.  Although staff promote children's independence skills, they are not always consistent in enabling children to complete some simple tasks for themselves.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Management ensures that any staff who have not fully completed checking procedures have no unsupervised contact with the children. Visitors to the nursery are fully supervised at all times. Staff are secure in their knowledge of the signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect. Senior staff are fully aware of their responsibilities with regard to child protection reporting procedures. Parents are kept fully informed about their children's learning and they are extremely happy with the service they receive. They comment that they especially appreciate that their children are making good progress in their speech and language. They also comment that the staff are very friendly and support them, for example, with toilet training their children.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children participate in fun, exciting learning experiences. Staff encourage them to make marks with paint on blocks of ice and wear Wellington boots to splash and play in muddy puddles. Children learn about our natural world as they care for small frogs and African snails, and learn about how flowers grow. One example of this is when staff show them labelled diagrams of a flower. Staff explain what happens in the growth process below and above ground level. Pre-school children are given opportunities to compare and discuss the differences between a diagram and a picture of a flower. Babies are encouraged to explore their immediate surroundings and are supported to engage in small-group activities. For example, staff help them to explore the contents of a picnic basket. Their language development is supported as staff name and introduce them to the items in the basket. Staff praise the children as they attempt to imitate the sounds in words, such as

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff effectively support children's health and well-being. Pre-school children learn about good foods and the impact of a healthy diet on their bodies. Children are learning to take care of their toys and the nursery environment. One example of this is when staff guide them on how to tidy up after themselves. Children spend good amounts of time playing outdoors every day. They are regularly physically active, climbing up steps and sliding down the slide, digging and planting bulbs and seeds. Children's behaviour is good. They learn the difference between right and wrong and how to behave through regular reminders from staff. Children grow in their self-esteem. Staff take every opportunity to praise them for a job well done.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop good skills for future learning and in readiness for the move on to school. Children are confident and inquisitive learners; they demonstrate their perseverance and attention to tasks set for them by staff. Children share secure relationships with their friends and they thoroughly enjoy the time they spend together in the nursery. Management and staff monitor the children's learning and identify gaps where children may need additional support.
