p.1

This provision is good

 Managers are committed to improving the nursery. They include staff, children and parents in the comprehensive evaluation of the setting. This supports a strong approach to setting realistic and clear targets for continuous improvement.  Children are making consistently good rates of progress. The accurate monitoring of children's progress and the individual planning for each child, contribute to the good outcomes for children across all areas of their learning and development.  Partnerships with parents and external agencies are robust. The staff work very well with them and share pertinent information to promote a consistent and complementary approach to children's care and learning.  A strong focus on promoting children's speaking, listening social skills contributes well to narrowing gaps in attainment and helps children become ready for their next stage of learning and move to school.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Managers have not yet fully embedded the system for assessing the impact of training on staff's practice to help them identify clearly what types of further training will best improve teaching and learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have attended training and know what to do should they have concerns about a child or a member of staff. They undertake risk assessments to identify hazards, in order to minimise risks to children. The manager completes robust recruitment procedures and completes regular updates on staff's ongoing suitability. All staff are qualified and use their skills well to teach children and prepare them for their future learning. Thorough supervision and sharing of good practice help staff to support each other to improve practice and teaching. Training is encouraged for all for staff and is mostly effective in improving practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff support children well across all areas of their learning and development. They use their observation, assessment and tracking to plan effectively for children's good progress. Younger children delight in playing outdoors, where they run, climb and explore the large sand tray. This contributes to their physical skills and helps them to understand and manage calculated risks. Older children use role play purposefully to act out current themes and festivals. They excitedly dress up, take cards to their friends and wrap presents to put under tree. All children sing with gusto and enthusiasm as they practise for their forthcoming concert. A strong aspect of the teaching is how staff skilfully and continually introduce sounds, numbers, letters and shapes as children play. This contributes well to the children's good understanding of early mathematics, reading and writing.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are calm, kind and help children to settle quickly and be comfortable in the nursery. They develop strong relationships and support children to manage their own needs. Independence is effectively promoted and children manage their self-help needs well. Children are respectful to each other and they understand turn taking and sharing. Children are very well behaved. They understand rules and listen at circle time, demonstrating their confidence as they call out their welcome to each other. Staff work very closely with parents to establish and maintain children's care routines and provide a consistent approach to their care. This contributes to children's emotional well-being and self-motivation. Staff effectively help children understand about healthy meals and teach children about healthy practices.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making consistently good progress considering their starting points, ages and stages of development. They are becoming ready for their next stage of learning and their move to school. Children are confident and all children, including those who receive additional funding, are making rapid improvements in their development across all areas of learning. Identified gaps in children's achievement are narrowing.
