This provision is good

 Leaders and managers have accurately evaluated their practice and taken robust steps to improve outcomes for children since the last inspection.  Children make good progress in their learning. Staff provide good challenges to children based on accurate assessments of children's abilities and interests.  Parents are invited to contribute their thoughts and ideas about the quality of the provision through surveys. Their suggestions are valued and acted upon by leaders and managers in order to help drive further improvement.  Staff work well with other professionals. They have fostered good partnerships with parents to ensure that all children receive the support they need. They seek specialist help for children when required to ensure all children make good progress.  Children build positive relationships with one another and form trusting relationships with staff. Young children and babies are comforted by the soothing interaction from

It is not yet outstanding because:

 During whole group activities, older children are not always given sufficient time to think about the answer to one question before another is asked.  Children show some understanding that good hygiene practices contribute to their good health; however, staff do not always promote this, for example during bathroom routines.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

To further improve the quality of the early years provision the provider should:

 enable all staff to allow children sufficient time to consider how they might respond to a question before another one is asked  strengthen the arrangements to prevent the spread of infection to ensure it is consistently followed during bathroom routines.

Inspection activities

 This inspection was carried out following concerns being raised that the provider was not meeting the legal requirements.  The inspectors observed the quality of teaching and its impact on children's learning both indoors and outside.  One of the inspectors carried out a joint observation with the provider.  The inspectors held meetings with the manager and spoke to staff and children at suitable times during the inspection.  The inspector looked at records children’s learning and development, the nursery's self- evaluation document, evidence of staff suitability, together with other documentation, including policies and procedures.  The inspectors spoke to a number of parents and took their views into account in making judgements.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Leaders and managers understand their legal responsibilities and robust steps are taken to ensure that all children, including children who have special educational needs or disability make good progress. The new manager monitors the effectiveness of practice through staff supervision and peer observations. As a result, the quality of teaching has improved. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Entry to the setting is monitored and secured via an electronic system. Staff have recently attended safeguarding training and they are aware of their role in protecting children from harm. This includes monitoring children’s attendance. Staff check the areas used by children and encourage the older children to identify risks in the outdoor area. This helps children learn how to stay safe and staff take prompt action to minimise hazards. Parents report that they pleased with the quality of staff interaction and the information they receive about their child’s progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children make good progress in an environment which stimulates their curiosity and challenges their interests. The manager monitors the quality of teaching for groups of children, such as boys and girls, to ensure that activities are planned to meet the individual needs and interests of all the children. Staff plan activities which stretch children’s learning. Older children gain good mathematical skills as they sequence numbers from zero to twelve. They successfully identify each numeral and corresponding quantity and understand that zero has a value, which prepares children for their future learning. Children take pride in their achievements as they skilfully identify a pentagon and octagon. Younger children enjoy number songs and babies delight as they go down the slide on the count of three. Children participate well in small group activities. They listen attentively to stories and respond eagerly to questions. However, children are not always

given sufficient time to think about their responses before being asked more questions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well and they follow the golden rules, which they help to create. Mealtimes are well organised to ensure children enjoy the range of freshly prepared meals in a relaxed manner. Children confidently peel their fruit and independently serve their food as they talk about the benefits of healthy eating. The nursery is clean and children are beginning to learn the importance of good personal-hygiene routines. Emphasis is placed on preventing the spread of infection but occasionally staff do not promote this, for example during bathroom routines. Children celebrate the wider world and develop an awareness of different cultures through meaningful activities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children concentrate and persist in completing activities to achieve their goals. They make good progress in their communication and literacy skills. Older children build short words as they sound each letter and babies babble lyrically as they look through books. Older children skilfully control large balls to develop their coordination. These skills are preparing children well for their move to school.
