This provision is good

 Managers and staff have successfully addressed the areas of weakness identified at the last inspection. The management team has introduced a range of methods to review staff practice and make continuous improvements to the nursery.  Children enjoy a varied range of outside play activities. These give children choices in their play and the time spent outside helps to support their good health.  Teaching is good. Staff are deployed well around the setting to support children's play. They successfully use planned and spontaneous activities to teach children.  Staff use a variety of methods to support all children's communication development, including children who are learning to speak English as an additional language. For example, they use symbols and pictures to extend children's developing vocabulary.  Children enjoy their time at the setting and make good progress in their learning. They confidently explore the good variety of resources. Children have formed close bonds

with staff and with each other. Staff welcome parents and children warmly, and the effective key-person system supports children's overall development.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, staff do not manage small-group activities to fully meet the learning needs of younger children so that they are fully engaged.  Methods to support parents as they extend children's learning at home are not fully developed.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff understand their role in protecting children from harm. They have a good knowledge of the procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. Recruitment procedures are thorough. For example, the manager checks staff suitability and obtains references for new staff. The manager is proactive is encouraging professional development opportunities, for example, by supporting staff to gain formal qualifications. She has implemented processes to improve staff practice, including how staff interact with children. Staff provide regular information for parents about children's progress. For example, they provide written progress reports and hold regular parent consultation meetings. The manager uses additional funding to help children develop their knowledge of mathematics and literacy as they prepare for the move to school. Staff support these areas well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know children well and understand the areas of learning, including how to support learning for children of different ages. They make regular observations to establish children's development levels and plan well for their individual learning. Staff use their observations to identify and address any gaps in children's learning. They work successfully in partnership with other professionals to support children's progress. Staff provide a stimulating environment for children. For example, they provide a mix of table- top and floor activities and children are engaged in their play. Staff plan the environment so that children can easily choose what to play with. For example, children play with sand and use chalks to draw and write on a large scale.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy their learning in this positive and welcoming nursery. They celebrate their own learning with staff. For example, older children review their own development records with staff to talk about their choices and skills. Staff encourage healthy lifestyles, such as by providing nutritious meals and snacks, and helping children to make displays of healthy foods. Children behave well. Staff provide positive explanations about behaviour, which help children to learn about the needs of others and how to respect other people's views.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress. For example, babies learn to move around the setting and children explore physical play equipment, while learning many new skills. Older children recognise letters and share favourite stories. They write their names and identify different numerals. Children learn to manage small tasks, such as helping to cut up their fruit at snack time. These skills help to prepare children well for their move on to school.
