This provision is good

 The manager is committed to providing a good-quality provision. She uses effective self-evaluation processes, including gathering the views of parents, to identify areas for further improvement.  Parents have good opportunities to be involved in nursery life. Regular newsletters, parents evenings and social events all help to ensure they are kept up to date with developments at the nursery.  Staff receive ongoing mentoring to develop their teaching skills. For example, the manager observes staff during activities and provides feedback and individual support to identify and plan for any training needs. Staff work well together as a team.  Children learn about healthy lifestyles. For instance, they eat nutritious snacks and learn the names of healthy fruits during snack time and role play.  Teaching across all age groups is consistently good. Children are keen, eager learners who are well prepared for starting school.

It is not yet outstanding because:

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of child protection issues and know how to report any concerns to the relevant agencies. They carry out ongoing risk assessments of the areas used by children to identify and remove any potential hazards. The managers ensure staff are qualified and experienced for their roles and responsibilities. Partnerships with parents are well established. Parents talk positively about how well their children have settled and appreciate that staff share information about their children's development, which enables them to support children's learning at home. Staff seek advice from other professionals to help children catch up in areas where they need additional help. Children who have special educational needs are well supported.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff regularly observe what children know and can do. They use this information well to assess children's level of development and to identify what each child needs to learn next. Staff support children's literacy skills well. For example, children give meaning to marks as they draw circles and copy letters from their name. Children have a wide range of activities to choose from. Their physical development is well supported. For example, children climb across frames and play ball games to develop their coordination. Children learn to take turns as they use different resources in the nursery. Staff support children's understanding of the world well. For example, children plant vegetables and fruits with staff and parents and watch them grow.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Settling-in arrangements are effective. For example, children are happy and quickly form trusting relationships with staff. Children have daily opportunities to be outside and be active, which helps to support healthy lifestyles. Staff provide plenty of praise and speak to children in a calm and respectful manner. Staff provide clear guidance, which successfully helps children to understand expectations for their behaviour. Children are tolerant, share resources and play cooperatively. Staff provide good experiences that help to increase children's knowledge of diversity, including similarities and differences between themselves and others. For example, children learn about different cultural celebrations and religious festivals, and they try foods from other countries.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain confidence and independence as they develop a good range of skills that prepare them well for their future learning. Children develop good conversational skills. For example, during play they express their imaginative ideas clearly to their friends. They sing nursery rhymes and play musical instruments according to the beat.
