The newly appointed manager has high expectations of all staff and actively identifies areas for improvement.  The provider and manager ensure staff implement robust procedures to resolve any health and safety issues. Staff promote the health and safety of all children well.  Staff skilfully interact with children. They know the children well and build on what they know and can do.

They confidently choose what to do and understand the purpose of different technological resources and how to make them work.  Staff are good role models and they consistently promote children's good behaviour. Children learn to share and make friendships.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not fully support children whose home language is not English to develop their communication and language skills fully. They do not always use children's home languages in their play and learning.  The provider and manager do not always keep parents informed about upcoming events at the nursery, to involve them fully in their children's learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider and manager ensure that all staff know how to manage any concerns to protect children's welfare. The provider and manager follow thorough recruitment procedures to help ensure the suitability of staff. They monitor staff's practice effectively, and provide support and training that has strengthened the quality of teaching. The provider seeks ideas to make ongoing improvements and makes good use of links with other early years professionals. For example, she has introduced new strategies, which have helped staff to promote children's behaviour positively. The provider and manager track children's progress to ensure they make good progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff work closely with parents to gather information about their children's care and development when they first start. Staff observe and assess children regularly and plan activities effectively to help them make good progress. They use children's interests or a topical theme when planning activities. For example, they teach children about some of the festivals that people celebrate in the wider world and England, such as St Georges Day. Staff showed children how to make a red cross, like the symbol on the English flag. Staff promote children's creativity; for instance, they encouraged children to use paintbrushes to make marks and talked to them about the colours they made when mixing paint. Staff skilfully engage children, for example, when they read them stories. Young children listened and were curious; they enjoyed turning the pages to see what happened next.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Key persons help children to form positive relationships with staff and children and to feel safe and secure. As children grow older, they visit their older friends at pre-school with their key person to prepare them for the move when the time comes. Staff are good role models; they promote children's positive behaviour. For example, they encouraged children to take turns squeezing paint from a bottle and praised their achievements. Staff promote children's physical development. For instance, they encouraged children to build towers with large bricks, and extended children's coordination as they practised going under the tunnels they made.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are developing independence. For example, they choose healthy snacks and use forks to eat their meals. Some children are learning to put on their coats before going to play in the garden. Children are learning early writing skills as they confidently make marks with crayons and draw lines with chalk on a blackboard in the garden. Children develop confidence and gain a good range of skills that prepare them for their next steps in learning and their move to pre-school.
