p.1

This provision is good

 Staff have developed very successful partnerships with parents. They work with them to promote children's learning and development in the nursery and at home.  Staff work in partnership with other professionals to meet children's individual needs. They provide effective, focused activities to support children who have special educational needs and disabilities. This helps to close any gaps in learning.  Recruitment procedures for new staff are robust. The manager has strategies in place to support new staff and help ensure their ongoing suitability to work with children.  The quality of teaching is consistently good. Staff provide children with a good range of resources indoors and outside. Children are motivated to learn and older children thoroughly enjoy talking to staff about what they are doing.  Children behave very well. Older children know the rules of the nursery and tell staff that they need to use their, 'Listening ears, looking eyes and helping hands'.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always give children the encouragement and support they need to follow their own interests and learn as much as possible from the good activities they provide once the planned aim has been achieved.  The evaluation of staff's practice is not incisive enough to lead to highly focused professional development that increases the potential for staff to achieve excellent outcomes for all children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The managers are very enthusiastic and passionate about providing good quality childcare. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The managers and staff ensure the safe use of mobile phones and cameras in the nursery. Risk assessments are in place to help ensure the environment is safe for children. Staff are supported in their roles through supervision and team meetings. They attend training that helps to maintain their good skills in observing and assessing children's levels of learning. The manager monitors individual and groups of children's progress to ensure that no child or group of children are falling behind. Additional funding is used effectively to help close any gaps in children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The well-qualified staff carefully plan activities that help children to achieve their next steps in learning. Children make good progress, settle quickly and are motivated to learn. Staff in the baby room help children to develop strength in their bodies. They encourage them to pull themselves up to standing, holding onto the furniture. Staff sings songs to them and use babbling words for children to copy. This supports their developing communication and language skills. Staff give toddlers a 'high five' to celebrate their achievements. This boosts their self-esteem. Older children talk confidently about their knowledge of fireworks. Staff show children pictures of fireworks on an electronic devise. This helps them to understand that information can be retrieved in different forms.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff encourage children to do things for themselves and to be independent in their care routines. For example, older children wash their hands before mealtimes and toddlers get tissues to wipe their nose. Children play harmoniously together, share toys and take turns. Staff greet children warmly when they arrive, get down to their level and give them good eye contact. Children have a strong sense of belonging in the nursery and settle well. They have a space for their belongings which is clearly labelled with their name and picture. Staff display photographs of children playing. Children help staff to grow vegetables in the garden which are used by the cook in meals for children. Children learn about how food grows and are provided with a good range of healthy meals and snacks to support a healthy diet.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those in receipt of funding, make good progress from their starting points. Babies are confident and inquisitive learners. They explore the wide range of natural resources offered. Children demonstrate that they are happy, safe and emotionally secure in the nursery. Toddlers develop their physical skills as they climb on equipment and negotiate the different level surfaces in the extensive, well-resourced garden. Older children develop their balance and coordination when they walk across a wooden beam. They learn the key skills in readiness for their move on to school.
