This provision is good

 The manager and staff know how to implement safeguarding policies and procedures effectively to ensure children's health, safety and security.

All children make good progress.  The manager provides staff with regular support, such as through supervision meetings, training opportunities and guidance from external agencies, to ensure their ongoing professional development and to improve outcomes for children.  Staff encourage babies to choose what they want to play with and they get involved in children's chosen play, to enhance their self-confidence.  Staff plan the outdoor play area well to complement children's learning indoors. Children receive consistent encouragement to learn through play, have fun and be

It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasions, staff miss opportunities to enhance children's communication and language development further, particularly in giving them more time to think and respond to questions.  Opportunities for children to increase their independence skills, particularly so they learn to manage daily tasks fully for themselves, are still ongoing.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. There are thorough recruitment procedures in place to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. The manager and staff attend safeguarding training and have a secure understanding of child protection issues, including how to recognise when a child is at risk of harm. Staff carry out regular risk assessments indoors and outdoors to reduce any hazards. Partnership with parents is good. Key persons regularly communicate with parents to ensure they have important information about their children's care and learning. Parents are positive about the care their children receive, including how staff involve them in their children's learning from home to nursery. The manager monitors children's progress effectively to identify and address any learning needs. She obtains staff's and parents' views about the provision to help her evaluate and improve the quality of care and learning for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are knowledgeable about children's learning and plan activities well according to children's interests. In addition, they consider and plan for any variations in the learning of different groups of children. For example, they introduce literacy opportunities in the construction area outdoors to meet the needs of those who learn best when playing outdoors. Babies' language development is developing well. They show a keen interest in activities and eagerly explore different colours, textures, shapes and sounds. Staff provide good opportunities for older children to develop their early mathematical skills. Children explore a variety of natural materials, learn about living things and show an interest in growth and changes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff implement a strong key person system, which helps children to feel secure and settle quickly into the nursery. In addition, staff work well with all parents from the start to ensure consistency of care for children. Staff encourage children to show respect for others. For example, children learn to play cooperatively, and to understand about similarities and differences between themselves and others. Children enjoy nutritionally balanced meals and staff implement good daily routines, where children learn to follow hygiene practices. Children enjoy daily physical exercises that contribute to a healthy lifestyle. Staff offer positive interactions, which help children learn how to stay safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children's literacy skills are progressing well. For example, they show an interest in books and enjoy making marks, while some children learn to write their first name. All children progress well from their initial starting points and develop the necessary skills they need in preparation for the next stage of their learning, including for school.
