This provision is good

 Robust policies and procedures are implemented. They are fully understood and followed by all members of staff, helping to keep children safe from harm. Furthermore, robust recruitment and vetting procedures are in place which help to safeguard children.  The quality of teaching is strong across the nursery. This contributes towards all children making good progress towards the early learning goals.  Staff act as good role models, promoting the use of good manners. Children are praised when they do well, which contributes towards raising their confidence and self- motivation.  Staff support children's mathematical development. They develop their awareness of shapes, colours and size during daily activities. This helps children acquire skills they need for their next stage in learning and for school.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always make the most of opportunities to involve parents in their child's learning so that they can work together to help children make even better progress.  Methods for parents to contribute to the nursery's evaluation of practice and give their ideas for future developments are not highly effective.  There are not enough learning opportunities readily available to support older children's developing understanding and enjoyment of information and communication technology.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff fully understand their responsibilities to safeguard children in their care and know the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. Staff have regular supervision sessions, enabling the manager to quickly address any concerns and provide appropriate support. Effective self-evaluation means that staff continually extend the good service for children and their families. Staff are actively encouraged to attend training courses. This helps to further enhance their knowledge, skills and understanding, which in turn benefits children. Staff have developed good relationships with other professionals. This contributes towards them providing additional support for children with identified gaps in their learning and development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified and experienced, helping to ensure that children are very well supported in their learning and development. Children are skilfully encouraged by staff to reveal their thoughts and test their ideas. For example, staff question children and support them as they problem solve. Staff identify children's interests and use them to plan activities that give children new challenges to enjoy. For example, children are creative and they explore textures, such as sand, ice and water. Children who speak English as an additional language are well supported in their growing communication and language skills. For example, staff obtain some key words from parents in their home language to help them to communicate with children. Children's development records include a range of observations, assessments and examples of their work. They provide a clear picture of how children's learning is improving and developing over time. Effective tracking of

children's progress means that staff quickly identify any gaps in their learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The warm and welcoming atmosphere creates a positive environment for learning and helps children to feel emotionally secure. Children are encouraged to become increasingly independent. They select the resources for their self-initiated play. Children enjoy a range of healthy snacks and meals. Mealtimes are sociable events as children and staff sit together and chat to each other. The nursery has information about any children who have special dietary requirements and this is displayed in all rooms, helping to keep children healthy. Children develop a good awareness of equality and diversity. For example, they explore various festivals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress. Children learn to take turns and interact with each other positively. They develop a good appreciation of healthy lifestyles and they enjoy fresh air and physical exercise every day. Children's early writing skills develop well. They draw with chalks and make marks in the sand. They show care and concern for living things, for example, they help to care and feed the nursery pets. Older children are able to recognise and write their name before moving on to school. Children are enthusiastic, motivated learners who acquire skills and develop confidence in preparation for starting school.
