p.1

This provision is good

 The nursery has made significant improvements since the last inspection. Effective systems for observing and assessing children's progress help to ensure that any gaps in children's development are swiftly identified and targeted.  Children make good progress from their starting points because staff are very skilled in responding to their individual needs and interests. Staff are well qualified. The quality of teaching is good and some is outstanding. Staff provide a stimulating environment in which children can play and explore.  Children are supported to move on to school. Staff help children and parents sensitively with the transition. Children develop the necessary skills to help them transfer to their new school with confidence.  The needs of children who have special educational needs or disability are well understood by staff. They ensure children receive targeted support and closely match

activities to their individual needs. Staff take care to ensure all children are fully involved in activities so that all children make at least good progress.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Although staff access opportunities to enhance their professional development, it is not focused enough on raising the standards of their practice to the highest levels.  Occasionally, children's ability to concentrate and listen to staff is compromised because of the level of background noise.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed activities and the quality of teaching in the playrooms and the outdoor area.  The inspector held discussions with the manager and spoke with children and staff at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector undertook a joint observation with the manager.  The inspector sampled a range of documentation, including evidence of staff suitability, training and qualifications, policies and procedures and children's records.  The inspector took into account the views of parents and carers spoken to on the day of the inspection and comments from questionnaires.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff attend training and have a clear understanding of how to respond if there are concerns regarding children's care. Effective systems for observing and assessing children's learning help to ensure that any gaps in children's development are identified. The manager has effectively addressed weaknesses identified at the previous inspections. Regular checks of staff suitability are conducted by the manager. Staff morale is high and leaders and the manager ensure staff's views are valued and they contribute towards plans for further improvement. They make good use of self-evaluation to ensure there is continuous improvement in meeting children's needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff obtain information from parents about children's achievements when they start to establish their starting points. Partnerships with parents are successful. Staff involve parents and encourage them to share information about their children's achievements at home. Parents are highly complimentary and praise the care and learning their children receive. Staff give children opportunities to learn through practical experiences. For instance, children confidently crack eggs into a cake mixture and discuss the changes that take place as they watch cupcakes cook. They weigh and measure ingredients and recognise the numbers on electronic scales. Children confidently explore and use tools to dig in mud. Staff skilfully extend children's curiosity through carefully considered questions. They successfully capture children's interest and develop their literacy skills during story time. Children recently learned to care for a newt. They extended their

understanding of the natural world when they released the newt into a nearby stream.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well and are happy and settled. Staff are good role models and are calm, gentle and reassuring. Children learn how to make healthy lifestyle choices and enjoy activities that help them develop positive attitudes about healthy eating. Children enjoy taking responsibility, which helps them become independent. For example, they help prepare fruit at snack time and tidy away toys and resources after play. Children enjoy being creative and scoop mud into containers in the mud kitchen as they pretend to cook a meal. Children develop good physical skills. For example, they thoroughly enjoy the 'dough disco' where they link actions and movements to words and music.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who have special educational needs or a disability and those who receive funded education, make good progress. Children swiftly acquire the skills and knowledge they require in readiness for school and to adjust to the changes ahead. Children are very independent and have well-developed communication, literacy and numeracy skills. They express themselves clearly. Older children are learning to link sounds with letters and are starting to recognise letter formation. They enjoy group story time and recall stories and events from memory.
