p.1

This provision is good

Good partnerships with schools help children to become familiar with their new teachers and changes to their daily routines.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, staff do not effectively support very young children to develop their growing vocabulary. They do not always remove children's dummies when they do not need them.  Self-evaluation does not yet show precise targets for further development or assess the impact that current priorities for improvement have on children's outcomes.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the nursery manager.  The inspector held a meeting with the provider, manager and other members of the leadership team. She looked at and discussed relevant documentation, such as the nursery's self-evaluation and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the nursery.  The inspector spoke to parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff know how to act if they have concerns about a child's welfare or if an allegation is made against a member of the staff team. The manager is well supported by other senior leaders in the nursery to monitor the quality of educational activities provided. This ensures experiences offered to children reflect their interests and current stage of development. Children's assessments are reviewed on a regular basis. This identifies any areas where children may require additional help, in order to support them to make good progress. Partnerships with external agencies are strong. Staff work very well and incorporate advice from other professionals who are involved with children to support their individual needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children who have special educational needs or disability are supported exceptionally well in the nursery. Staff are well qualified and demonstrate expert skills in meeting children's unique and specific needs. They provide opportunities, such as sensory play, to help children achieve what they need to learn next. Staff make regular and precise assessments of all children's learning. This is detailed well in documentation, such as individual learning journal files. Interesting and challenging experiences for children are planned based upon this information and support them to make good progress in their learning. Younger children show great enthusiasm when they hold soft beaters and explore sounds on a large drum on the floor. Older children investigate a range of natural resources found outdoors and make collage pictures to express their own ideas.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

A stimulating, welcoming environment is provided for children. This keeps them motivated and they develop confidence when trying new activities for themselves. Staff promote good practices with regard to eating and exercise. Parents are encouraged to provide healthy foods for their children. Activities, such as football and music and movement sessions, are available for children to engage in. Staff help children to develop an understanding of safety and behavioural expectations in the nursery. They provide gentle explanations when children roll wooden trucks along the carpet area. This helps them to avoid colliding with others playing in the same area. Children's independence skills are fostered well. They take an active part in activities, such as serving their own food at mealtimes and pouring their own drinks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children makes good progress, and some make progress that is better than good, based on their starting points. Pre-school children develop early literacy skills as they play. They read the labels on food packets in the role play area and write their own name on pictures they make. This prepares them well with the skills and knowledge they need in preparation for school.
