learning can be further enhanced at home.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not provide enough guidance to help the younger children who are new to the nursery to develop a greater understanding of the boundaries and expectations, and to demonstrate high levels of self-control and consideration for others.  Although staff supervision is in place, targets for development are not focused sharply enough on helping them raise their practice to an outstanding level.

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector spoke with staff and children during the inspection.  The inspector held meetings with the nursery manager. She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the nursery.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Staff are experienced and well-qualified. They understand their joint and individual roles and responsibilities, and use their knowledge to enhance children's learning. They efficiently implement all requirements and meet the needs of the children. Managers and staff seek and consider the views of parents and carers, and take on board the advice and guidance from other professionals. This helps them to focus on developments that will have the most impact on the outcomes for children. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager ensures that all staff attend up-to-date training. They are knowledgeable and confident about what to do if they have any concerns about the safety or welfare of a child in their care. Robust procedures for recruitment and checking the ongoing suitability of staff are implemented well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather information from parents about what children already know and can do when children first start at nursery. This helps staff to plan activities and experiences which build on children's prior learning. Staff observe and assess children during play and routines to note their current interests and abilities. Children are eager to play and choose what they want to do. The enjoy having a go at new experiences, both inside and outdoors. They are supported well by staff who have a good understanding of how children learn. Staff know the children well and adapt their teaching to meet individual needs. They quickly spot when children are not reaching expected developmental milestones, knowing when and how to involve external agencies. Staff gain additional guidance to assist them in adapting practice and providing targeted support to help children catch-up to their peers.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's safety and welfare are fostered well. Staff are effectively deployed. They keep the premises secure and carry out detailed risk assessments and regular safety checks of the indoor and outdoor environment. Children have many opportunities to play outside, accessing a variety of resources. For example, they pour and scoop in the sand and other sensory materials, they help staff to plant flowers and enjoy blowing and popping bubbles. They also benefit from having a large space to run around in the fresh air. Children enjoy a variety of snacks, learn about which foods are good for them and know how to make healthy choices. They help to plant a range of fruits and vegetables, in order to harvest later in the year. This contributes positively to promoting a healthy lifestyle.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those for whom the nursery receive additional funding, make good progress given their starting points and any gaps in their learning are closing. They are becoming increasingly independent in taking care of their own needs, such as using the toilet and putting on their coats to go outside. Children are learning to take turns and share resources with their friends. They communicate well and are developing good understanding and use of English vocabulary even though they all speak English as an additional language. Children develop key skills they need in readiness for their future learning and leave nursery well prepared for school.
