This provision is good

 The owners of the nursery are passionate and committed about providing high-quality care for children. They seek to improve the provision through good self-evaluation and by reflecting on the views of parents, children and staff.  Children have access to a well-resourced, stimulating environment, inside and outside, which supports their learning and development.  Staff are extremely kind and caring. Children have close relationships with their key person, who responds quickly to their needs.  Staff form strong partnerships with parents. Parents speak highly of the staff team and they are kept well informed about their children's progress, such as through daily discussions and parents' evenings. Staff find out what children enjoy doing at home to help provide consistency in their care and learning.  Staff observe and assess children's progress and generally use their findings to identify children's next steps in learning. All children make good progress.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, staff perform some tasks for children that they can do themselves, which does not enable children to become more independent, such as in managing their own personal care.  Managers are still in the process of developing fully systems to check the progress of different groups of children to help close any gaps in their learning more quickly.

She checked evidence of the suitability checks and qualifications of staff working with the children and looked at policies and procedures.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Leaders implement effective recruitment, vetting and induction procedures to ensure that all staff are suitable to work with children. They conduct risk assessments effectively to enable children to explore and learn in a safe environment. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good awareness of the signs that may indicate a child being at risk of harm and they know their role and responsibility to report any concerns. Leaders check teaching practice regularly. For example, they offer staff one-to-one supervision meetings and provide ongoing training to improve the skills and knowledge of the team.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff give children choices in activities based on individual interests, and they encourage them to join in. Staff interact effectively with children to extend their learning. For example, when children play with cars and figures of people, staff make suggestions to extend children's learning, such as about road safety and keeping safe. Staff provide very young children with plenty of opportunities to explore different textures, such as play dough, sand and water. Older children use their mathematical skills well. For instance, they enjoy planning a pretend birthday party and work out how many cups and pieces of cake they need for all the children. Staff observe and assess children's learning and generally provide targeted support to ensure that all children make good progress, relative to their starting points.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff encourage children to feel at home, for example, they display photographs of their families and ask them to find their own names to register when they arrive. Children are happy and confident. Staff ensure children know the nursery routine well. For instance, they display visual pictures at children's height so they know what to expect next. Staff help children to develop an awareness of how to keep themselves safe. For example, they gently remind them not to run too fast. Staff ensure children enjoy daily exercise and outdoor play, which supports their physical well-being. They make sure that children understand and adopt good hygiene practices, such as washing their hands before eating and after using the bathroom. Staff teach children to respect others and value differences. For example, they celebrate different cultural festivals and the wide variety of languages that they all speak.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those in receipt of funding and those who are learning English as an additional language, make good progress. For example, children with speech and language delay learn to communicate well, such as through picture cards. Overall, children gain valuable skills that prepare them well for their eventual move to school.
