This provision is good

 Staff give children reassurance and praise such as when they learn new skills. Children develop a good sense of belonging and self-worth. Their behaviour is good.  Staff plan and provide interesting experiences to enthuse children to learn. All children make good progress in their learning and development. They are ready for the next stages in their learning including starting school.  Children have access to fabulous cooking activities. For example, they prepare food from fresh produce and make wonderful comments on how ingredients change when they mix.  Staff inform parents of their children's progress and involve them in deciding what their children need to learn next. Parents are satisfied with the good care and progress their children make.  Leaders consistently monitor and evaluate the provision to help ensure that the nursery continues to provide a good-quality service for all children.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, some staff do not make the most of opportunities to extend children's communication, vocabularies and thinking skills further.  At times, children do not have sufficient access to the resources available to help them develop their technology skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Robust recruitment and selection procedures ensure that staff are suitable to care for children. Leaders and staff are clear about their roles to keep children safe from harm. For example, they understand the correct procedures to follow should a child protection concern arise. Leaders supervise staff regularly and set them challenging targets to help them improve the quality of their practice. Leaders and staff monitor the progress of all children effectively. When identifying any gaps in children's learning, they provide extra support to help them catch up. Staff undertake training to strengthen their skills. This is evident in the way they help ensure that their assessment accurately identifies what they need to learn next. Leaders take into account the views of staff, parents, children and others to improve outcomes for all children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide play and learning experiences to help children progress well. Staff gather information from parents on what their children know and can do. They use such information, along with their ongoing observations, to meet the needs and interests of all children. Children are content and have good attitudes to learning. They love creative activities such as exploring different coloured glitter and decorating their own pictures. Children sing their favourite songs and dance to music. They enjoy taking an active part in stories, such as talking about their favourite pictures, characters and events.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have strong bonds with staff and are confident to ask for help. Staff use positive and age-appropriate ways to manage children's behaviour. Children from different cultural backgrounds mix well and play together harmoniously. Staff help children adopt healthy eating habits. They help them to become increasingly independent. For example, the young children learn to feed themselves, while older children help to set up the tables for meals. Staff encourage children to be physically active. For instance, they confidently climb apparatus and manoeuvre bikes and scooters safely. Staff conduct regular and robust checks on the premises and resources to help children remain safe and secure. They practise the fire drill regularly to ensure their safety in an emergency.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress, given their starting points. Any gaps in their learning are rapidly closing. Children learn to share toys fairly, take turns and select resources independently. Older children write their names correctly. They count objects and use mathematical language to describe the shapes and sizes of resources around them. Children use magnets to investigate objects and understand that magnets only attract certain materials.
