This provision is good

 The manager has implemented many improvements and has made good progress since the last inspection.

show off stickers given to them for good tidying. Staff raise their self-esteem well.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not consistently make sharp use of assessments to plan as precisely as possible so that children rapidly achieve the next steps in their learning.  Staff do not share children's levels of learning with all parents to build on the partnerships in place and help them support their children's learning at home.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are aware of the signs that may indicate a child could be at risk of significant harm. They use training to secure their knowledge of new legislation. Staff know where to report concerns about children's welfare. They also use training to extend their good teaching practice. Staff use visits from teachers to share information about children's learning. They work well to support consistency for children, in preparation for their move on to school. The manager monitors the progress of individual and groups of children well, overall. She works with staff to maintain children's good levels of learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff observe children as they play alongside them and get to know children's interests. They plan a good range of purposeful play opportunities that helps to extend children's learning. Staff work well with other professionals to support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff follow children's lead in play and involve them in finding resources to support their learning. Children develop their imaginations and act out real-life experiences. For example, they use a hosepipe as a pretend petrol pump. Staff talk to children about the colours of the front and rear lights of a car, and lift them up to look at real cars in a car park. Staff encourage babies and young children to explore using their senses and model actions for them to copy. They sprinkle leaves into water as they count to three. Babies copy and claps their hands in enjoyment.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children form secure emotional attachments with staff. They confidently move around the nursery and are supported well by staff when they move rooms. Staff help children to learn about their local community. For example, they take babies to the local park and woodland area. Staff encourage babies to develop their physical skills. They support them to hold onto a large ball and walk across the grassed area. Older children manage risks, for example, as they run down a slope and stop at the end. Children are very polite and use good manners. Parents comment positively about the nursery and say that their children's behaviour has improved since the provider has taken over as manager.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those for whom the provider receives funding, make good progress in their learning. Older children are confident and independent. They enjoy exploring, for example, as they mix different foods together and pretend they are making potions. Babies enjoy investigating the texture of paint as they make prints on paper using their hands and fingers.
