This provision is good

 Effective evaluation processes have helped the provider to identify weaknesses since the last inspection and make good improvements. For example, the provider has made changes to how the setting is run and has rearranged the playrooms to improve the support for children's learning.  Staff work well with parents to meet the needs of their children. For example, staff share children's progress and encourage parents to share what they know.  Staff are kind and considerate and know the children well. Children are confident and independent and they make good progress in their learning.  The provider monitors children's progress effectively to help identify any gaps in their development. Children with specific learning needs receive effective support from staff to progress further.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, some staff miss opportunities to help children achieve their planned next step in learning.  On occasions, during adult-led activities staff miss opportunities to ensure all children can fully participate.

The inspector also discussed how staff work with parents and other providers.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good knowledge of how to identify and report any concerns about a child's welfare. The provider knows to inform Ofsted of any significant events. Staff carry out detailed risk assessments to identify and minimise any risks. They maintain ratios, are well deployed and supervise children effectively, which helps to keep them safe. The provider ensures all staff are suitable to work with children and that managers are known to Ofsted. The provider observes and supports staff well to help develop their professional practice. For example, staff are now more skilled to support children with additional needs. The provider is trying new ways to improve practice. For example, she is taking part in a quality assurance scheme to assess her provision.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff complete accurate observations and assessments and, overall, use these effectively to plan for and support children's learning. They know children well and build on their interests. Staff support children's physical development well. For example, they encourage children to ride wheeled toys, climb and move in different directions with speed. Staff support children to develop their literacy skills effectively. For example, they provide different materials for children to use to practise their early writing skills. Children develop good communication skills. For example, they enjoy listening to staff and talk about what they are doing, such as describing what they are drawing.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models and offer children strong emotional security. Staff help children to manage their feelings and children behave well. Staff have completed behaviour management training and they now effectively support children to deal with their emotions. For example, staff discuss and explain behaviour rules to children. Most staff are trained in first aid and complete records of any accidents. Staff teach children about safety. For example, staff talk to children about stranger danger and how to play with the resources safely. Children enjoy nutritious meals and they learn about healthy lifestyles. Children are well prepared for school. For example, staff invite school teachers to visit children at the nursery, and they talk to them about routines and expectations of school.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Younger children skilfully mix paints and rice to create rangoli pictures for Diwali. Children can identify themselves in the mirror and state the colour of their hair. They independently attend to their personal needs. For example, they know when to use the toilet and are able to put on their own coats to play outside. Children can count and identify numbers, and link sounds to letters.
