p.1

This provision is good

 The key-person system works extremely well. Children form strong emotional attachments with staff. There is an effective buddy system, which means that children are cared for by staff who know how to meet their needs when their key staff are not present. Children show that they feel very safe, secure and happy. They are making good progress.  Children with special educational needs are exceptionally well supported. Staff work closely with professional agencies to meet the children's individual needs. Children benefit from using specialised equipment, such as a sensory room.  Children are supported effectively by staff to develop their mathematical skills. They have regular opportunities to compare, sort and match.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not consistently make sure that planned activities provide children with the opportunity to make the very highest rate of progress.  Staff do not always build on younger children's ability to understand clearly the consequences of their actions and why at times their behaviour is unacceptable.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff know about and understand child protection issues. They recognise potential signs and symptoms of child abuse and know how to report any concerns. Staff are effectively deployed within the nursery and support and supervise children well. Recruitment procedures are robust. Comprehensive suitability checks for new staff are in place, and a clear induction procedure. This helps to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children and are confident within their roles and responsibilities. A well-established programme of professional development is in place. Staff are highly qualified and regularly have opportunities to develop and update their knowledge and skills. Self-evaluation is effective and includes the views of staff and parents. The staff team works well together to continually improve the practice and the outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan interesting and exciting activities for the children to encourage them to speculate and test their ideas through trial and error. Children skilfully develop their sensory skills in play as they explore real fruit and vegetables in the role play area. They smell the coriander leaves and look at the different shapes and sizes of the carrots. Staff encourage children to take the lead in activities and to work together to complete tasks. Children negotiate with each other to decide which containers are best to collect spiders in for their bug hotel. Older children's imagination is skilfully fostered by staff. Exciting and challenging resources in the role play bakery inspire children to produce interesting cakes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are cared for in the welcoming and inviting environment with exciting resources, both indoors and outdoors. Healthy lifestyles are promoted effectively. Children enjoy active outdoor play in all weathers. They enjoy eating a varied range of nutritious meals and snacks. Pre-school children develop good personal care skills as, for example, they brush their teeth after lunch. Staff attend to children's individual needs sensitively. They gather comprehensive information from parents regarding their children's likes and dislikes, and they closely follow routines from home. Children begin to learn how to keep themselves safe. They handle the nursery pet with care and consideration.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points and develop the necessary skills for school. They are well prepared for the next stage in their learning within the nursery. Pre-school children develop good literacy skills. They identify their name in writing and enjoy describing the meaning of the marks they make. They form letters correctly. August 2016 4 of 5
