meeting all children's care and learning needs. Parents are encouraged to contribute to initial assessments and there are regular opportunities to share information. Staff use innovative methods to gather information about children's learning at home.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not sharply focus teaching on children's next steps in learning to help them to make even better progress in their learning and development.  Some staff in the baby room do not consistently model language or provide a narrative as babies play to help to support their developing speaking and listening skills

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector held a meeting with the manager and spoke to staff and children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the manager.  The inspector looked at relevant documentation, such as children's learning records and planning. She looked at policies and procedures, risk assessments, self-evaluation and checked evidence of staff qualifications and suitability.  The inspector took account of the views of parents.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff thoroughly understand child protection procedures. Leaders ensure staff are alert to the signs and symptoms of abuse and know who to contact should they have concerns about children's welfare. Most staff are qualified first-aiders and immediately respond to and record any accidents. This helps to keep children safe. The manager is fully committed to supporting and developing the skills of the staff team. She carries out robust monitoring of their practice. This includes high quality, regular supervision and training. This helps them to meet children's needs and supports their professional development. Staff work closely with other professionals. They plan targeted support to help children who have special educational needs and disability to ensure that any identified gaps in their progress are closing.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide an exciting range of accessible resources that allows children to lead their own play. Staff encourage children to enjoy learning. This contributes towards their high levels of motivation and eagerness to play and investigate new experiences. When two- year-olds find a spider in the outdoor area, staff swiftly encourage them to catch it in a container. They ask children to describe the features of the spider, helping to extend their understanding of the world around them. Pre-school children develop listening and attention skills. They excitedly participate in a game of 'traffic lights' and learn to recognise which colour corresponds to the action. They energetically run around, move backwards and listen for the time to stop. This also contributes towards their physical development and spacial awareness. Children confidently manoeuvre around obstacles and other children in the outdoor area.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff gather meaningful information from parents during settling-in sessions which helps children to be well prepared during the transfer into the nursery. This includes, gathering key words from home to support children who speak English as an additional language. Staff promote children's awareness of healthy lifestyles well. Children learn positive hygiene practices and eat healthy, well-balanced meals. They have regular access to the well equipped and highly stimulating outdoor area. Detailed risk assessments and daily checks of the environment are completed. Staff also ensure the environment, toys and equipment are regularly cleaned. The required staff-to-child ratios are maintained and staff are effectively deployed to supervise and play with babies and children. This helps to protect their welfare.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Babies explore confidently in their well organised and dedicated playroom. They enjoy the sensory experience of exploring coloured rice and experiment by making marks with car wheels and brushes in flour. All children, including children in receipt of additional funding make good progress in relation to their skills on entry. Children are independent and curious learners. They acquire the self-assurance and necessary skills in readiness for the next stages in learning and the move to school.
