lifestyle. Children wash and dry their hands before eating and after using the toilet. Furthermore, they take part in tasks, such as selecting their own healthy snacks and pouring their own drinks.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, staff do not give children enough time to follow their own interests and thinking.  Supervision arrangements do not fully support staff to share their knowledge and skills and further enhance the already good quality of teaching.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff fully understand their roles and responsibilities to help keep children safe. Children's attendance is meticulously recorded. Policies and procedures are in place, understood and effectively implemented by all staff. Risk assessments are in place for the nursery and for any outings. These are used well to further ensure children's safety. A thorough induction programme is completed and recruitment and vetting is robustly managed. New systems for observation, assessment and planning are working well. Detailed monitoring of children's progress is in place. The manager and staff use this information to ensure that children receive a varied and individualised education programme. Staff complete the progress check for children aged between two and three years. Overall, staff benefit from the recently implemented supervision sessions. These are used effectively to identify their

training needs. Parents speak very highly of the nursery and are extremely happy with all aspects of practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children who speak English as an additional language are supported well by staff, who use effective teaching methods. Staff provide lots of repetition and name objects to help extend and consolidate children's understanding as they routinely play and interact with them. For example, during a craft activity, children talk about their favourite colours and name characters and objects from a popular book. Furthermore, children use a range of media to paint and draw their favourite parts of the book and recreate the story. Staff make the most of these experiences to help extend children's mathematical skills. They encourage children to count out objects and talk to them about concepts, such as size and shape.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are well qualified and experienced. The dedicated manager and enthusiastic staff provide a warm and stimulating environment. Children are happy and settled and display high levels of confidence and self-esteem. Mealtimes are a social occasion where staff dedicate time to be with children, talking to them about themselves, their interests and their families. This helps staff get to know children even better and extend their communication, language and social skills. Children are provided with healthy snacks and drinks and regularly visit the local park and areas of interest in the local community. These experiences help children develop their physical skills and experience suitable risk and challenge. Staff work in partnership with parents to ensure children's needs are met.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children explore the environment with ease and make some independent choices. Children develop their literacy skills and they use tools, such as sticks and straws, to make marks in sand. Generally, children develop good imaginative skills. They act out stories, make tea in the domestic role play area and excitedly engage in a music and movement session. Children make good progress from their starting points. They are well prepared with the key skills needed for the next stage in their learning and school, when the time comes.
