This provision is good

 Teaching is good. Practitioners use their good knowledge of children's individual learning needs to plan activities. This ensures children move forward in their learning in readiness for school.  Planning, observation and assessment works well. Practitioners plan a wide range of activities to promote children's enjoyment and achievement.  Children are very happy and settled in this welcoming nursery. They demonstrate good levels of confidence. Children receive plenty of attention, reassurance and praise. This fosters their emotional well-being successfully.  Partnerships with parents and carers work effectively. A good range of information is shared each day and parents are kept fully informed about how well children are progressing. Parents are very complimentary about the provision and the practitioner team.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Opportunities to share information about children's learning with the other settings the children attend have not been fully explored.  While individual children's progress is monitored well, the manager does not yet monitor the progress of different groups of children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The leadership and management team shows a good commitment to improvement. The members of the practitioner team are well qualified, experienced and work well together. Robust vetting procedures and supervision arrangements ensure practitioners are suitable to work with children. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Practitioners demonstrate a good understanding of the procedures to follow in the event of a concern about a child's welfare. Specific training has helped practitioners to develop their knowledge of the wider issues in the care and protection of children. Children's safety is prioritised and they are supervised effectively. The manager monitors the quality of teaching and learning to ensure outcomes for children are good.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Practitioners are skilful in the way they interact with children. They encourage children to explore ideas and set challenges to help them think and learn. Older children concentrate well as they make patterns using different shapes. Practitioners extend the activity by introducing mirrors and they talk to children about reflections, counting how many shapes they can see. Children use their imagination extremely well in the home corner while manipulating dough and playing with toy dinosaurs. Babies and younger children explore their room with confidence and curiosity. Practitioners place a strong focus on promoting their communication skills during play. Babies play with a good range of appropriate resources and love to listen to stories.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children thoroughly enjoy their time at nursery and their individual routines and needs are well considered throughout the day. Children's health and physical development is supported well. They enjoy sociable mealtimes, healthy snacks and have good opportunities to spend time outdoors. Children's behaviour is good. Practitioners are very positive role models and children learn to share and take turns. They help children learn how to keep safe as they play and use equipment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children develop the underpinning skills and confidence they need for their future success and starting school. Children develop competent independence skills. They make choices about what they would like to play with and learn how to manage their personal care. Children learn about the needs of others and the wider world as they explore the local area. Their literacy and mathematical skills develop very well.
