This provision is good

 Children are happy, settled and develop secure bonds with staff.  Staff teach children clear expectations regarding behaviour, and work closely with parents to provide good continuity of care for children. Children behave well.  The provider and staff have a good understanding of safeguarding procedures and follow these consistently. For example, the provider ensures that all staff attend training so they are fully aware of changes to practice and current legislation.  Children make good progress in their learning and development. Staff use their good teaching skills effectively to help extend children's learning.  Leadership and management of the nursery are strong. Managers reflect on their practice and effectively use the views of parents and staff to help make improvements to the services they offer. This helps staff to greatly improve their quality of teaching and the outcomes for children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not fully utilise routines effectively to make the most of all occasions to maximise children's learning. For example, at times children are left waiting to move between activities, causing them to become restless.  Staff do not provide enough opportunities to extend children's knowledge of how things work and why. For example, children are not able to use a varied range of resources that help them to explore and investigate technology.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are fully aware of their role and responsibility to keep children safe from harm. For example, detailed risk assessments and daily safety checks help to provide safe learning environments where children can play in safety. The provider is proactive in making changes to the setting. For example, she regularly reviews practices, such as checking how staff plan challenging activities to help maintain children's ongoing progress. Staff work well in partnership with other professionals. For example, they work closely with the local authority and other settings to drive improvements to their practice. The provider regularly monitors staff practice, which helps to highlight staff training needs. Staff successfully use any training they attend to help them improve children's learning; for example, they have reviewed how boys play.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff carry out detailed observations and assessments on children. They use these effectively to track children's development and to inform their planning. Staff plan good- quality activities that help them to continually progress children's learning. The deputy manager successfully monitors children's development. This helps to ensure that children are all progressing well and that any gaps in learning are promptly identified. Staff work closely with parents. For example, they share details with parents on their children's current stage of development, and discuss ways in which they can support their learning at home further. This helps to promote continuity in children's care and learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff successfully teach children about healthy lifestyles. For example, children enjoy snack times and regularly talk about healthy food. Staff promote children's safety and welfare effectively. Staff help children learn how to keep themselves safe; for example, children practise the fire drill so they are aware of what to do in an emergency. Children enjoy daily access to outside play. For example, they practise their early literacy skills as they use paintbrushes and water on walls, and learn to pedal bicycles to help extend their physical skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. They develop a good range of skills to help them progress on to the next stage of their learning, and subsequent move on to school. Children develop good language and communication skills, and staff use effective questions to encourage children to develop their thinking skills and think about their answers. For example, staff support children to draw hopscotch on the floor and ask children to recall the numbers they need to write in order.
