This provision is good

 Staff successfully support children's physical and emotional well-being, for example, through effective care practices. Children form secure emotional attachments with their key persons, helping them to be ready to learn and explore.  Staff provide activities that are challenging and well matched to children's learning needs. They undertake observations of children's learning and accurately assess their progress. These lead to planning that contributes to children's good progress.  Effective partnership working with other professionals helps to promote the good progress of children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Good teaching enables children under three-years-old who receive funding to catch up to their peers.  Staff encourage parents to contribute what they know about their children's learning from the outset. Parents receive regular detailed summaries of children's progress and

ongoing opportunities to discuss this.  Reflection on the quality of provision is effective. The manager and staff seek the views of staff, parents and children to help bring about continuous improvement.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Managers do not use the systems for coaching and mentoring staff to increase their effectiveness to a very high level of precision, helping build excellent teaching.  Staff do not always build on parents' awareness that children's regular attendance contributes towards better of continuity of progress in learning.

She looked at relevant documentation, including evidence of checks on the suitability of staff and others working in the nursery.  The inspector spoke to one parent during the inspection and took account of parents' views in document form.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff and managers have a secure knowledge of how to report any concerns they may have about children's welfare. They regularly update their knowledge of safeguarding through training. Managers have been successful in forming partnerships with parents that lead to good attendance for all but a very small number of children. They monitor children's progress carefully, as part of robust safeguarding practice. Children's learning is followed in detail and managers identify where interventions can be made to extend the progress of groups and individuals. Managers strongly encourage staff to obtain qualifications at a minimum of level 3 to help children benefit from their greater skills and knowledge.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a range of interesting activities to help children gain a positive awareness of diversity. Additional funding is well targeted to the identified needs of children who are eligible to receive it. Children enjoy learning to swim while gaining personal care skills and improving their coordination. Resources are acquired to help build greater achievement in early mathematics. Staff enable children to develop an increasing knowledge of shape names and attributes. For example, children draw around shapes they have identified in pictures, confidently naming them. Staff use the activity effectively to encourage children to think critically and speak in sentences.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff use effective arrangements to support children's well-being when they join the nursery and, subsequently, when they change room or go to school. They seek detailed information to promote children's well-being from parents or carers, including about other professionals who may be involved on their behalf. Staff teach children about maintaining their good health. For example, they explain why some foods are good for them and why some may harm their teeth. Staff help children to learn the satisfaction to be gained from contributing to tasks and being independent. Resources are accessible, contributing to children gaining independence.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children who attend regularly make good progress towards gaining the skills and attitudes needed for school, including those who receive additional funding. Children are confident and motivated learners. They learn routines which contribute to their good health and hygiene. Children show respect for others. They learn how following some rules help to promote their safety.
