This provision is good

 The provider and the manager offer good support to the staff team and manage their performance and professional development well. Staff have regular opportunities to increase their knowledge and skills, for example, through training, supervision and mentoring from the manager.  There is an effective key-person system in place. Children form close relationships with staff and settle confidently into life at nursery.  Overall, children make good progress. Staff observe children regularly to highlight their achievements and identify their stage of development. This enables staff to identify any gaps in children's learning early and to seek any additional support they may need.  Children behave well and develop good social skills.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff in the toddler room do not fully consider younger children's needs or individual stages of learning during some activities. At times, younger children do not participate and learn from experiences as well as possible.  Staff provide parents with detailed information about their children's progress but do not fully encourage parents to share what they know about their children's learning from home.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff undergo rigorous checks and a comprehensive induction programme to ensure they are suitable and have a good understanding of their roles. This includes relevant safeguarding training to ensure staff know the reporting procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The managers have a clear vision for the setting. They regularly monitor staff practice to ensure the continued quality of the setting and to identify any aspects that need improving. There are effective support systems in place for children with additional needs and staff work well with the other relevant professionals to support individual children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff interact positively with children to support their play and learning well overall. Younger children enjoy exploring and investigating with a range of resources and materials. For example, they show a real interest in exploring with various real and pretend ingredients as they play in the home corner area. Toddlers explore with water, dough and various technology. Pre-school children are interested in nature and the natural world. Children enjoy making papier mch objects to reflect the creatures they learn about and they show confidence in using technology, such as tablets and computers. Overall, staff extend children's learning well, for example, by asking relevant questions and encouraging them to share their ideas.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and settle well into the nursery. Babies benefit from the strong and trusting bonds they build with staff, which help them to feel safe and secure. Older children demonstrate good levels of confidence as they develop their independence and learn to make choices. There are effective systems to support children as they move on from room to room, and parents are fully involved in this process. Older children behave well. They listen and respond well to staff's guidance and requests. Children learn about healthy living, for example, through the provision of nutritious meals and snacks. They enjoy regular opportunities to engage in outdoor activities throughout the day.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and gain key skills for the next stage in their learning. They develop social skills, such as forming relationships, sharing and taking turns. Older children communicate confidently and are independent in making decisions and managing their needs. For example, they serve themselves at mealtimes and are independent in their toileting. They are well prepared for their move to school.
