This provision is good

 The manager and staff check on children's overall progress well. They identify those children that need additional support quickly and work closely with parents to support them. They use additional funding effectively to help children close any gaps in their learning and development. Children generally make good progress.  Staff know children very well. They use their knowledge to provide exciting activities and play resources that engage children and keep them motivated and eager to learn. Children are well cared for and their behaviour is good.  Children are physically active and have regular access to the outdoor environment. Staff use the outdoor area effectively to extend children's learning and the development of their skills.  The management team and staff reflect on the quality of the provision well and gather the views of parents to help them make ongoing improvements for the benefit of the

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff know what action to take to keep children safe and protect them from harm. The manager follows effective recruitment procedures for all new staff and continues to monitor their ongoing suitability to work with children. She monitors and supports staff's practice and their continuous professional training to help maintain the quality of teaching. The manager and staff build positive relationships with parents. They invite them for regular review meetings and provide plenty of opportunities to discuss children's progress. Parents confirm that they are well informed on progress and how to promote their children's learning at home. Managers and staff support children's move to school well. For example, they invite schoolteachers to the nursery to meet with children and to share what they know and can do.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good understanding of how children learn and develop. They regularly observe children as they play, in order to identify what they understand and can do. This generally helps them to support children to move on to different activities to extend their learning. Staff help most children develop their communication and language effectively. For example, they read books and introduce new words to the children. Children have plenty of opportunities to develop their imagination through role play. For example, children enjoy dressing up using high-heeled shoes, dresses and wigs to go pretend shopping.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a relaxed and a welcoming place where children have fun and enjoy exploring together. All children settle very well. Children respond extremely well to the 'golden rules' and boundaries set by staff and behave very well. Staff are good examples of how to treat others. They actively promote children's growing understanding of people's differences in the wider community. Children learn to respect everyone. For example, children learn how to say 'hello' in different languages and how to be nice and polite. Children know how to be safe and healthy. They are independent and enjoy managing tasks for themselves. For instance, they tidy away plates and cutlery after mealtimes and tidy up the room together before moving to the next daily routine.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for school and the next stages in their learning. For example, older children recognise and write letters and simple words, learn sounds and how words are made. Children make good progress, given what they know when they start, including those who benefit from funded sessions.
