This provision is good

 Leaders at the nursery foster a culture of high expectations and lead a dedicated staff team, working together to ensure every child enjoys their time at the nursery.  The nursery offers a welcoming and homely environment for children. Parents spoken to on the day of the inspection praised the high standards of care and learning provided by staff.  The quality of teaching is consistently strong and some is outstanding. Staff know how to nurture a love of learning and children are very engaged as they play and explore.  Children get off to the best start possible. Parents are asked about children's interests, routines and prior learning as part of induction arrangements. Children have a designated key person to help them settle into the nursery and plan for their future learning.  There are good partnerships with local schools. Relevant information is shared between the nursery and schools to provide consistency and continuity for children who attend

both.  Children enjoy fresh air and exercise outside and have a range of nutritious snacks and meals during the day. They are gaining an understanding of some factors that contribute to healthy lifestyles.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The leadership team has not yet identified effective ways to obtain all parents' views of the nursery as part of the self-evaluation process.  Opportunities for staff to help parents continue their children's learning at home are not fully maximised.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector held a meeting with the manager and provider. She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of staff working at the nursery. The inspector also discussed the nursery's self-evaluation.  The inspector sampled a range of other documentation, including the learning and development records of children, the nursery's policies and procedures and risk assessments.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the nursery manager.  The inspector spoke with children and a small number of parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a good knowledge and understanding of the nursery's policies and procedures. They are aware of their responsibilities to keep children safe and well. Staff are well qualified in childcare and this helps improve outcomes for children. Robust arrangements are in place for the recruitment, supervision and professional development of staff. Nursery leaders have recently introduced observations to monitor the quality of teaching and learning to help raise the standards to consistently outstanding levels. Self-evaluation of the nursery provision includes the views of staff, children and some parents. Nursery leaders have recognised that they need to seek further ways to engage all parents in the process.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, staff use every opportunity to support children's learning and development. Their interactions with children are highly effective, revealing what children know. For example, children tell a member of staff how to draw a car using words, such as boot and wheels. Children make links with home, saying that 'mummy and daddy' and 'shopping' are in the car. Children's language skills are developing well. There is a broad range of activities and resources, both inside and outside. Children have opportunities to play and explore independently and there are planned group times during the day. Children's early literacy skills are well supported in group times and they listen carefully to stories and sing songs together. Staff use their assessments of what children have learned to accurately plan for their next steps in learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are kind and very responsive to children's needs. Children form strong emotional attachments with their key person and other staff. Staff are particularly vigilant when children first start to ensure they enjoy their time at the nursery. Children's well-being is highly supported and they behave well. Any minor disagreements, for example, when two children want the same resource, are very well managed by staff. Children learn the importance of sharing and taking turns. They have good opportunities to learn about people with different home cultures. Staff help children to learn about how to keep themselves safe and healthy. When children are moving on to school, staff plan specific activities to help them prepare well for change.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children acquire the key skills and attitudes to ensure they are ready for their future learning, including school. They enjoy attending the nursery and show much independence as they play and learn. They demonstrate high levels of involvement in their learning and make good progress over time. Where children require additional support, timely interventions mean that any gaps in their learning are quickly closing. Even the youngest children are encouraged to have a go, which strongly supports them to attempt new challenges and builds their confidence.
