p.1

This provision is good

 Children's personal development and behaviour are outstanding. Staff provide very positive role models and speak to the children in a calm and respectful manner.

Children enjoy their time at nursery.  Staff monitor children's learning and development closely, and gaps in learning are promptly identified and supported. Children make good progress.  Partnerships with parents and other professionals involved with the children are strong and effective. Children benefit from a coordinated approach as all parties work together

to help them make good progress from their starting points.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The management team does not consistently ensure that staff make full use of their professional development training to implement new ideas and experiences, to improve outcomes for children further.  At times, staff are not deployed effectively to support the spontaneous speech and language development of less confident children.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children's play and staff interaction indoors and outdoors.  The inspector took into account the spoken and written views of parents.  The inspector undertook a joint observation with the manager and discussed children's learning and development.  The inspector discussed self-evaluation with the management team.  The inspector looked at a sample of documentation, including children's records, safeguarding and welfare documents.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The management team is dedicated to continual improvement. Staff are well qualified and experienced. Leaders have regular supervision meetings with staff, encouraging them to reflect on and evaluate their practice. Leaders rigorously monitor the quality of assessment and progress that individual and groups of children make. Children identified as not reaching typical levels for their age receive targeted support to help close gaps. Good use is made of additional funding to improve outcomes for disadvantaged children, for example, by providing children with book bags so they can further develop their literacy and language skills at home. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of policies and procedures, and they implement these consistently. Staff work together with families effectively to keep children protected, safe and healthy.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are able to make their own choices about where they play and what they do. Staff play alongside them and use praise and encouragement well. They spark children's interest and enthusiasm for discovery, for example, creating treasure baskets for babies to investigate. Children are fully immersed in their play. They have many opportunities to explore, such as looking at colours on the light box and digging in the mud kitchen. They develop their creative skills, such as painting pictures and re-enacting experiences through role play. Staff extend children's learning well. For example, they weave mathematical language into play and introduce music into activities. Older children enjoyed transporting pasta using tweezers, developing the small muscles in their fingers in preparation for early writing.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are very happy. They learn to cooperate, negotiate and respect each other extremely well. Settling in is a highly positive experience and children develop secure relationships with staff. Staff gather information from parents to meet children's individual needs highly successfully from the outset. For example, staff cuddle babies so they swiftly go off to sleep when tired. Parents are well informed about their children's progress and feel that their children are extremely well cared for. They speak highly of the nursery staff. Children benefit greatly from balanced and nutritious meals and snacks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, make good progress in all areas of learning. Children show extremely high levels of confidence and independence. Babies develop their communication and language skills well, for example, signing with their hands at mealtimes. Strong partnerships with local schools help to prepare children well for the next stage in their learning.
