This provision is good

 The manager is passionate about providing good-quality provision for the children in her care. She provides strong leadership and is well supported by her staff team.  Staff use detailed, effective observations, assessment methods, and planning to provide challenging activities that support children's interests and what they need to learn next. As a result, all children make good progress.  Staff are committed to involving parents in their children's learning and development. For example, they provide weekly reports for parents, which enable them to support their children's learning at home.  Staff are kind and caring. Children form secure emotional attachments with them and approach them for reassurance and support. Children demonstrate they are confident, happy and settled.  The experienced staff work well together. Their calm manner and consistent approach encourages children to use good manners and be polite to others. Children have helped

to develop rules in the nursery; for example, they all know it is not safe to run inside.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Managers do not always check the progress of children effectively to help ensure any gaps in their learning close quickly.  The views of parents are not always gathered effectively to help inform planning for future developments.

Inspection activities

 The inspector spoke to the manager, members of staff and children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities and assessed the impact this had on children's learning.  The inspector carried out a joint observation with the manager.  The inspector took account of the views of parents spoken to during the inspection.  The inspector looked at children's learning records and planning documentation. She checked evidence of the suitability and qualifications of staff working with the children and looked at policies and procedures.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager has established robust recruitment procedures to ensure that all staff are suitable to work with children. She monitors teaching practice closely to ensure that standards continue to improve and she provides staff with regular supervision to identify ways of further supporting their professional development. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff understand the procedures to follow in the event of a welfare concern about a child. The manager uses additional funding to ensure that all children make good progress, for example by providing additional training for staff to ensure that they can better identify learning opportunities when planning activities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather information from parents when children start at the nursery to help assess children's starting points. They provide a wide range of interesting and challenging activities for children to choose from. For example, very young children enjoy mixing different colour paints together with glitter and older children fill bottles with coloured water to explore mathematical concepts such as empty and full. Staff promote children's language development well. For example, they speak clearly so children hear the correct way that language works. This is particularly beneficial for children learning English as an additional language who rapidly expand their vocabulary.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff establish good relationships with local primary schools. For example they invite teachers to visit the children before they start in Reception Year, in order to support children prepare for their transfer on to school. Children benefit from nutritious meals and staff encourage healthy eating. Children enjoy easy access to the small outside area. They have opportunities to develop their physical skills, for example by playing on the seesaw or balancing on crates. They also go on local outings, such as to the park. Children develop an understanding of others by learning about cultures beyond their own. They enjoy listening to visitors telling them about different religious festivals and traditional clothing, as well as tasting foods from other countries.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Staff quickly identify and address any gaps in children's learning to ensure that children are able to move to the next stage in their learning. Staff ensure children have the early number, reading, writing and speaking skills they need for their eventual move to school. Children are independent, such as hanging up their coats when they arrive and helping themselves to food and drink at lunchtime.
