 The forward thinking management team is determined to maintain and build further on the good quality practice already achieved. It provides good challenge and direction to the staff team who is enthusiastic about the care and education of children.  There are strong systems in place to help staff get to know their individual children.

records and often celebrate their achievements on the Wow board. In addition, children take Hannah the nursery teddy home and share their adventures.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always give children sufficient time to think through and answer questions independently.  The current arrangements for professional development do not always provide opportunities for staff to consider how they can raise teaching to the highest possible level.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Children's safety is given good priority. There are effective risk assessments in place to minimise any identified risks. Staff have a good understanding of child protection issues and the procedure to follow if they are concerned about children's welfare. Recruitment and vetting procedures are thorough to confirm the suitability of all staff working with the children. All new staff participate in a detailed induction, so they are clear about their roles and responsibilities. Children are cared for by a motivated, well-qualified team of staff. A passionate, hands-on management team supports staff, especially those new to the nursery. The management team monitors the educational programmes and the assessment arrangements effectively to ensure children make good progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children greatly enjoy investigating the outdoor learning environment and engaging in physical play. They delight in exploring soil in the mud kitchen and use rods to catch fishes in the water tray. Younger children grow in confidence as they explore new tactile experiences. They enjoy the feel of dried oats, make marks and fill trucks and tractors in the large tray. Children paint with small wooden trains and explore the lines made by the wheels. Older children enjoy making play dough as they mix ingredients, add food colouring and mould the dough into shapes and objects. Children enjoy joining in with action songs. They follow favourite stories closely and join in with repeated phrases. Staff carry out observations and assessments of children's progress and successfully plan and support children's individual learning and development needs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's emotional well-being is nurtured in the small setting. Staff encourage children to develop the habits and behaviour appropriate to good learners. They also teach children to take account of their own needs and those of others. From a young age, children readily share, take turns and are kind to one another. Children develop a good understanding of how to keep themselves safe and healthy. They enjoy lots of opportunities to be physically active, develop good eating habits and understand how to use equipment safely. The newly introduced system for snack time is an unhurried social occasion where children's ability to choose and be independent is actively encouraged.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children, including those in receipt of funding, make good progress from their starting points. They enthusiastically choose books and enjoy reading with staff. Children learn to listen to their friends in small-group times. Young children answer their name when it is called at registration time while older children find their names and register themselves. Children are well prepared for the next stages in their learning, such as school.
