This provision is good

 Children enjoy their time at the nursery and form strong bonds with friendly and caring staff. Children settle quickly and are confident to make choices from an early age.  Staff support children's learning well, overall. They provide a broad range of activities, which they plan according to children's interests. Staff join in children's play, encouraging them to explore and try new things. Children make good progress.  Children benefit from opportunities to make choices from nutritious food options. They develop increasing independence in their practical skills, such as serving their own food and drinks.  Management and staff establish extremely good partnerships with parents and other professionals. They work well with them to support children's individual needs. Parents report positively on the support they receive and appreciate that their views are valued.  Management uses self-evaluation successfully to identify and address areas for further

development. For example, since the previous inspection, it has improved outdoor learning opportunities for all children.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff sometimes miss opportunities to support children's learning priorities through their play. The information about each child's next steps is not always readily available.  Staff do not consistently help children learn accurate words when talking with them to further promote their language skills.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children's activities, and staff interaction with them, in all rooms and outside.  The inspector talked to staff and management at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector carried out a joint observation with the manager.  The inspector looked at a sample of documents, which included the safeguarding policy and children's progress records.  The inspector took account of parents' views, obtained in person.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Management and staff have a good understanding of the procedures to follow that enable them to help protect children from harm. They keep their knowledge of child protection issues up to date through regular training. Management supports staff's professional development well and shares expertise. Staff update their knowledge on aspects of children's learning according to children's needs. For example, attending training has helped staff implement strategies to support children in managing their own behaviour towards others. Management regularly monitors children's progress records to help staff identify and address gaps in children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children learn through a good balance of spontaneous play and planned activities that are led by adults. Children particularly enjoy sensory activities, staff provide a good range of messy play to enable them to explore. At the inspection, babies investigated dry oats and pasta, filling and emptying containers, and feeling different textures. Toddlers created marks using brushes and water, while others shaped play dough. Older children experimented by rolling model cars through different coloured paints. Children learn to listen in a group and follow instructions. They use their imaginations well, for example, as they act out real-life and imaginary situations.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff and management use risk assessments successfully to help them provide a safe environment for children. For example, they monitor accident records to help identify any patterns. Children are confident and develop a strong sense of belonging. Young children benefit from the care of consistent and familiar staff. Staff working with babies make sure that they follow home routines to help children feel secure. Children settle quickly when they move to new rooms. Staff support children well and involve parents in children's care. Children understand what staff expect from them and behave well. They learn to take turns and respect other people and their environment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain useful skills for their future learning and starting school. They develop increasing independence and learn to communicate their needs well. Children show an interest in sounds and letters and learn to recognise their written name, for example, to help them identify their individual water bottle.
