p.1

This provision is good

 The provider and staff team work well together to provide good quality learning experiences for children. They use effective systems for managing staff performance.  Staff use effective systems for observing and tracking children's progress to identify children's achievements. Children make good progress overall, taking into account their starting points.  Relationships on all levels are good. For example, staff follow an effective key-person system, which contributes towards children feeling safe and secure at the nursery.  Children have good opportunities to engage in a range of play experiences across the different areas of learning. Staff plan for these effectively to support children to develop new skills.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not offer consistent targeted support to children with identified communication and language needs to help them make the best possible progress.  Staff do not ensure they obtain enough information from parents about their children's achievements at home to help them identify and plan for what children need to learn next.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure understanding of their role to protect children and the procedures to follow if they have any concerns. Effective recruitment and vetting arrangements ensure that staff's suitability is checked appropriately. Staff complete a detailed induction process and have regular supervisions and appraisals, which are linked to further training opportunities. The provider uses self-evaluation systems well to monitor staff's daily practice and to target future improvements.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan an interesting and challenging learning environment for children of all ages and abilities. Children are motivated to learn. Staff join in their play to build on their ideas and extend learning. For example, during activities, they ask children questions, introduce new words and teach children to count and to recognise colours as they play. Staff regularly observe children to gather information about their interests and to learn what they know and can do. They share this information with parents and plan further activities to extend children's interests. Staff have developed effective working relationships with other professionals to support children with additional needs. For example, they work together to plan individual education programmes to target children's needs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children receive good support in their social and emotional development. They make choices about their play and are becoming independent in managing their personal needs. They behave well and learn to share, take turns and play cooperatively with others. Children's good health is supported well. For example, they enjoy nutritious meals and snacks and have regular opportunities to engage in physical activities, indoors and outdoors. Children develop an awareness of their own backgrounds and learn about how these are the same or different from their friends. For example, to increase children's understanding of other people's lives and abilities, staff provide displays and a range of books and resources alongside the planned activities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain the important skills they need to support their future learning and eventual move to school. Their communication and language skills are developing well. For example, they learn to express their needs and to engage in discussions. Children have many opportunities to develop early literacy skills. For example, they enjoy mark making, singing and listening to stories.
