p.1

This provision is good

 Teaching is good and some aspects are outstanding. The management team is highly qualified and they are knowledgeable early years staff, who have a deep understanding of child development and how children learn.

opportunities for children to learn about preparing the table, serving themselves and washing their crockery. Children are enthusiastic to learn new words, practise their manners and count during snack time.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always give older children sufficient time to find solutions and think through their answers.  Staff's professional development is not yet specifically focused on raising the quality of the teaching to outstanding levels.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities and assessed the impact this has on children's development and progress. She spoke to staff and children at appropriate times.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the manager and discussed the findings.  The inspector reviewed relevant documentation, including evidence of the suitability of staff, relevant training certificates and a selection of policies and procedures.  The inspector took into account the views of parents spoken to on the day.  The inspector held a meeting with the provider and manager and discussed the nursery's improvement plans.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff demonstrate a good knowledge of the signs to look out for and procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child. The management team implements secure recruitment and induction procedures to help ensure the continued suitability of staff. Parents have a strong voice at the nursery and influence different aspects of the provision. They offer regular feedback following workshops and in questionnaires. The management uses an effective system to share information with parents. This system also has a facility that helps managers and staff to closely track children's progress. They know when action is needed to narrow any gaps in children's learning to support their readiness for school. The provider and manager have good systems in place to monitor the quality of teaching and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan a broad range of interesting activities based on children's interests and skills. This results in high engagement of children in activities. Children access resources independently to create their own play and staff provide structured activities, offering a balanced approach to children's learning. Older children enjoy retelling popular stories about a wolf, as they use dressing-up clothes and props to develop their individual character roles. They recall key parts of the story, such as hunting for a bear or when a girl is eaten by a wolf. Children learn about the world around them, designing passports and sharing holiday photographs. They explore the living world in the investigation area, where they dig for insects and learn how plants grow.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children build very strong bonds with staff who get to know their key children extremely well. Staff consistently value their efforts and contributions. Children are remarkably independent in care routines and in their play. Staff offer a precise amount of guidance and support so that children quickly become empowered to do things for themselves. Children choose their own snacks and wash up the plates after snacks. Children's good health and well-being are exceptionally well supported. They learn to brush their teeth and independently wipe their noses and put on their coats. Children's physical development is enhanced as they play outside on wheeled toys, a large climbing frame and play the parachute game. Children have an exceptional understanding about their own safety. Children show superb listening skills and follow instructions quickly. They talk about what to do in the event of a fire, such as drop and roll. They create their own fire extinguishers

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making good progress in relation to their starting points and those in receipt of the additional funding make particularly good progress. Children are motivated learners who confidently explore and develop the skills they need for their future learning. They see print in the environment and regularly practise their early writing skills as they write their names and contribute to lists. Children competently help to tidy up and play extremely well together, sharing and taking turns.
