This provision is good

 The management team accurately reflects on practice and is implementing a number of changes that are successfully improving the quality of provision for the children.  Relationships between staff are good and managers act as good role models. They have high expectations of behaviour from the children, and inappropriate behaviour is dealt with sensitively and promptly.  Communication with parents is good and parents say that they are happy with the information that they receive about their children's day.  Effective assessment of children accurately identifies their next steps for learning and these are planned for each week. Managers are working on systems to provide parents with even more precise information about their children's progress.  Children enjoy healthy meals and snacks each day. They develop independence and learn to make healthy choices in relation to food. For example, they help to lay the

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The arrangements to mentor and support staff are not always as fully effective as possible. Some staff lack confidence and rely on direction from the management team as they interact with children and supervise activities.  Children do not consistently receive good opportunities to explore different materials and textures to fully extend their understanding of the world and creativity.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff know how to deal with any concerns about children's welfare and there are effective systems to help ensure the environment is safe. The management team ensures that staff are kept up to date with changes to child protection procedures. Equipment is regularly reviewed, for example, to ensure that toys are in good condition. Funding is used effectively to improve the provision and target gaps in children's learning. The manager has begun to implement a programme of meetings with individual staff members to identify and build on their strengths and plan for their professional development. This is not established enough to help target support for all staff as promptly as possible. Staff make good use of training opportunities and have used these to improve various aspects of the provision, particularly arrangements for safety and hygiene.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The management team ensures that a variety of activities and experiences are planned for children, indoors and outdoors. Staff are skilled in extending children's thinking and encouraging them to share ideas, for example, by asking them interesting questions. Early mathematical skills and literacy are promoted well. For example, children enjoy listening to stories and talk excitedly about what is happening in the pictures. Children show pride in their achievements as they enjoy looking at their art work, which is displayed in attractive ways around the nursery. Children have fun, are motivated to learn and join in all activities with enthusiasm.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The management team develops strong relationships with local schools. Staff meet with teachers to share information, and take children on visits to help them prepare for starting school. Partnerships with parents are good. For example, parents have regular opportunities to talk with staff and detailed information is recorded in books that are given to parents at the end of each day. Children have opportunities to learn about families that are different from their own through a variety of toys, books and activities. For example, they have books in different languages and others that show families from different cultures. Children also join in with activities to celebrate world festivals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make progress that is at least typical for their age from their starting points, and some progress beyond expectations. Children who are learning English as an additional language make very good progress in speaking and understanding language. Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the nursery and build strong relationships with staff.
