This provision is good

 Children are happy, confident and have a curiosity to explore and play. They are keen to join in and staff support children to develop their attention and listening skills well.  Children make good progress in their learning and staff are quick to identify and support any gaps in children's development to ensure they are well prepared for school.  Staff are caring and nurturing towards children, who develop close bonds with familiar adults. Children are kind to one another and learn to behave well in the setting.  Leaders are reflective and regularly evaluate the service they provide, including the views of others, well. They have successfully built upon their initial ideas for the setting since registration and have high aspirations for continued development.  Partnerships with parents and other professionals are strong. Staff keep parents accurately informed about children's progress and encourage them to play an active

part in children's ongoing learning. Leaders understand the importance of linking with others involved with children's care to provide consistency and continuity.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, the structure of daily routines does not take children's individual nutritional needs into account precisely enough, for example, when planning snack times.  Staff miss some opportunities to support those children who learn best outside, to further their interests and help them make the best possible progress.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed teaching and learning.  The inspector spoke to parents to gain their views and experiences of the setting.  The inspector spoke with children and staff at appropriate times during the inspection and held a meeting with the provider.  The inspector carried out a joint observation with the manager.  The inspector looked at a sample of the children's learning records, staff observations and planning, and a range of policies and documentation, such as suitability of staff and safeguarding procedures.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Leaders have a secure understanding of their responsibilities in child protection and ensure staff understand how to keep children safe. Leaders are passionate about maintaining a skilled workforce. They ensure staff have regular opportunities to enhance their skills and knowledge with relevant training. For example, staff have attended training on observing and planning for children's progression. Arrangements for monitoring children's overall progress are excellent. Despite the individual set up of the nursery, where children only attend for a few terms at most, the manager ensures that detailed information is gathered about what children know and can do when they start, to plan for children's ongoing learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff create a vibrant learning environment. For example, children access their choice of inviting equipment and particularly enjoy imaginative role-play games. Staff plan a broad and interesting range of activities for children. They support children to develop good communication skills and children learn to speak clearly. For example, they enjoy singing familiar songs in a group and excitedly join in with the actions. Staff help children to develop their physical skills. For example, children have opportunities to use modelling dough and learn to use tools to shape their dough. Staff help children explore their large- muscle skills. For example, children spend time climbing in the soft-play areas. Staff know children well and make accurate observations of children's achievements over time.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop a sense of belonging and form close attachments to staff in the nursery. The key-person system supports children well to settle and feel safe. Staff encourage children to gain an initial understanding of living a healthy lifestyle. For example, children take part in cookery sessions and explore a range of nutritious foods. Staff invite children to take on age-appropriate challenges and persevere. For example, children develop good fine-motor control; they focus on spooning soil into egg boxes, showing increasing coordination and dexterity. The environment is safe and well laid out. Staff make sure they use thorough processes of risk assessment to minimise any potential hazards.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are motivated to independently explore the inside environment. For example, children enjoy filling and emptying a variety of materials and resources into boxes and listen with interest to how they sound when shaking the box. Children explore their senses. For example, children spend time in the ball pit, hiding in among the balls. Children develop their creativity and act out their first-hand experiences. Children make good progress in their learning and gain many key skills they need for future learning.
