This provision is good

 Actions and recommendations raised at the last inspection have been successfully addressed to help raise outcomes for children.  Children who enter the nursery with communication skills below those of others their age make good individual progress.  Staff use a range of activities to raise children's awareness of the lives of people who are familiar to them. Children are gaining very positive attitudes to others.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasions, activities are not adapted swiftly to provide as much challenge, in order to help children make more rapid progress in their learning.  Although staff complete observations of children's learning, they do not always make the best use of information they gather, in order to precisely focus future planning so that children are supported to make the best possible progress in all areas of learning.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager and staff team have welcomed and valued support from their local authority advisors. There are clear action plans in place that help to ensure that positive change is continuously achieved and that it benefits children. The manager has implemented effective systems for performance management and carries out regular supervision meetings. Staff are guided and supported to continuously improve their knowledge, understanding and practice. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are keen to enhance their current experience and qualifications. They attend relevant child protection courses. Staff have a secure understanding of the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. Recruitment procedures are thorough and induction arrangements help to ensure new staff and students understand their role and responsibilities. Partnerships with parents are good. Staff work closely with parents and

regularly share information about how to support children's learning and development at home.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children show good levels of engagement and benefit from an effective balance of adult- led and child-initiated play. Staff enhance children's literacy skills well. They model letter sounds and link these to words as children play. Staff cleverly use books located close by to talk about the shells children are playing with in the sand. Children are beginning to recognise that print carries meaning. Staff provide props when reading stories, which helps children to talk about the stories' characters and sequence of events. Babies and toddlers are encouraged to develop their hand-to-eye coordination skills and their small and large movements. Staff provide crinkly paper that makes a noise when touched. Babies are stimulated to reach out for objects that can be held and toddlers stack small blocks on top of each other.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children's confidence and emotional well-being very well. They give individual praise for children's achievements. Children learn to use good manners and the importance of sharing and being kind to their friends. Their behaviour is good. Staff promote children's good health. Children enjoy taking part in their morning exercise routine. Staff use words, such as stretch and balance, to help encourage children to move and control their body in different ways. Children have fun singing along to songs and rhymes and staff enrich this learning with signs and actions for them to copy. They learn the importance of hygiene routines, such as washing their hands before food. Children enjoy a healthy, balanced and nutritious menu.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those in receipt of early years funding, achieve well from their starting points. Children have many opportunities to make marks and develop their speech, language and mathematical learning. Children gain the key skills they will need for their future education.
