p.1

This provision is good

 The provider and the acting manager lead their team well. They are reflective about the nursery's provision of care and driven to improve the quality and outcomes for children. This includes further improvement to the outdoor environment.  Staff use the provider's policies, procedures and risk assessments to support children's safety, health and well-being effectively.  Staff know the children well. They interact warmly and encourage children's participation in their activities. Children make good progress and are willing to learn.  Staff offer a broad range of interesting experiences. The nursery environment is welcoming and inclusive. Children feel valued.  Children enjoy their activities, and have regular opportunities to play outdoors. They have fun and behave very well. Children understand staff expectations.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff sometimes miss opportunities to extend children's early mathematical skills, for example, learning about numbers and how to make comparisons about quantities.  Staff are not confident in helping children to express themselves creatively, for example, in matching and identifying colours and putting these into context.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children in their play indoors and outdoors, and during their interactions with staff.  The inspector spoke to the manager and the provider about how staff plan for children's learning and how their progress is monitored.  The inspector conducted a joint observation with the manager. They discussed how these peer observations inform staff training, support and guidance.  The inspector discussed how staff update their skills, and how the nursery evaluates its practice.  The inspector sampled the nursery's documentation and children's records.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The provider has effective systems for the recruitment, vetting, induction and guidance of her staff. Staff value the opportunities to extend their skills and knowledge. For example, a staff member speaks confidently about training to support her in compiling information records on multi-agency working practices, and for children with additional funding. This helps to ensure that staff meet all children's needs. Safeguarding is effective. Staff demonstrate a good understanding of their responsibility to protect children, including for example, those who may be at risk from extreme behaviours or views. Partnerships with others are well established; for example, staff at the children's centre where the nursery is based, and with professionals involved in the care of children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good understanding of children's starting points, and are confident in making focused and regular observations on children. The manager regularly reviews children's progress and developmental assessments. Staff share this progress with parents and have introduced strategies to invite parents to share observations about what children do at home. This supports consistency in children's care and learning. Staff interact warmly with children. They encourage children's independence through role play activities, and through their day-to-day routines.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy outdoor experiences regardless of the weather. For example, children have fun jumping in puddles. Staff help them in their early understanding of the correct clothing to wear when, for example, it rains or becomes colder outside. Children are confident in trying to do up coats independently. Children are learning the importance of hygiene and health, such as hand washing routines and healthy eating. Staff encourage children to understand about equality and diversity. They explain the importance of using kind language and good manners. Children show respect for their friends and play cooperatively together.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress. They enjoy their activities. Older children confidently join in with the welcome song, and familiar nursery rhymes, which supports their listening and communication skills. They follow instructions and can join in with actions. Babies develop well physically and emotionally. They are happy to sit with staff for cuddles and they explore the outdoors with interest, for example, taking delight as they ride on sit-on cars. Older children learn to think critically about size as they think mathematically. They work out for themselves if a vehicle will fit down the ramp or if it is 'too big'. Children learn a good range of skills. They show readiness for the next stages of their learning.
