This provision is good

 Staff have a good understanding of how children learn. They are adept at planning a wide range of activities that capture children's interest and closely target what they need to learn next. They motivate children's learning by being interested and excited in their discoveries.  Staff are kind and encouraging, helping children to grow in confidence and feel valued. This begins successfully in the baby room and continues throughout the nursery. Children show they feel safe and at ease, and happily explore the stimulating nursery environment. They become confident and engaged learners.  Partnerships with parents and others are strong. These positive relationships result in effective and well-coordinated strategies that promote the good progress of children at risk of delay. Parents comment very positively about all aspects of the nursery. They are actively included in the self-evaluation process.  The senior leadership team has an accurate understanding of what the nursery does

well and where further improvement is needed. Strong team work across the nursery is evident and contributes positively to a targeted cycle of continuous improvement.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The lunchtime routine for the pre-schoolers is not always well organised.  Outdoor play opportunities for younger, less mobile babies are not as well thought out and resourced as the opportunities for older children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are vigilant in monitoring children's well-being and show a secure awareness of the procedures to follow if they have a concern about a child. Security across the nursery and outdoors is effectively monitored. Children are well supervised and staff deploy themselves effectively to promote children's safety. Recruitment and induction procedures are robust. Staff are effectively supported in their roles. Since the last inspection, staff have benefitted from a varied programme of ongoing training and targeted support to develop their teaching practice further. For example, they have undertaken training in behaviour management. Senior staff rigorously monitor children's progress and take swift action if they identify any gaps.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are experienced and well qualified. The consistently strong and purposeful teaching is evident across the nursery and helps children to progress quickly. Staff assess children's skills and abilities regularly and make good use of this information to track children's ongoing progress. Babies spend quality one-to-one time with their individual key person, engaging in activities, such as sharing stories and singing songs and rhymes. Staff support older children well as they ask questions that challenge children to work things out for themselves or test their understanding. Staff allow children time to think before they respond and recognise the importance of standing back and giving children time to become deeply involved in self-chosen play. Staff share good amounts of information about children's achievements and encourage parents to play an active role.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff know the children in their care exceptionally well and develop trusting relationships with children. Children are well nourished, their routines are respected and they benefit from regular outdoor play and trips into the community. Children's behaviour is good and staff manage it very well. Staff support children to take turns, to persevere at tasks and to take care of each other and their environment. They promote children's understanding of safety well. For example, older children enlist the help of their nursery mascot 'Candyfloss' and use simple safety lists to make sure the spaces are safe for their younger friends. Staff create exciting learning opportunities for children. For example, enabling them to play together in smaller groups, particularly in the garden areas.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those with special educational needs or disability and those learning English as an additional language, make good progress. Older children have a good understanding of basic maths. They are becoming skilful communicators who show high levels of confidence and independence in social situations, in readiness for school.
