This provision is good

 Staff observe children to find out what they can do. They use this information, along with their knowledge of children's interests, to plan what they need to learn next.  Children behave well. They understand the rules and boundaries in place. Staff consistently praise the children, helping to promote their confidence and sense of self- esteem.  The well-qualified staff work together very well. Their strong teamwork is evident through their good teaching. The example they set contributes to helping children developing the ability to form positive relationships with others.  Parents are very pleased with the service they receive.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not consistently identify when to challenge and extend the learning of older or the most able children as they play.  The manager does not yet fully use systems for staff supervision to identify ways to build even further on their already good practice.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are well trained and have a good understanding of their role in safeguarding. They know what to do if they are concerned about a child's welfare. The manager keeps herself and the staff up to date with the local authority's procedures to help keep children safe. Policies and procedures are well known and implemented by staff. The manager and staff carefully reflect on the quality of the nursery. They consider the views of parents and children when evaluating the success of any changes they make and when planning future improvements.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The well-qualified staff have a good understanding of how young children learn and develop. They know children and their current interests well and use these to engage them successfully in learning. Children talk about their families and experiences and they are confident to speak in front of other children and adults. Staff play alongside children. They talk to children about what they see them doing and introduce new words to help extend their growing vocabulary. Children develop their understanding of mathematical language as they play. For example, children use words, such as 'full' and 'empty' as they fill containers with sand. Staff develop close partnerships with parents and other settings that children attend. They share information about children's progress with parents, staff and teachers. This helps to provide continuity and consistency in children's learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The nursery has a calm and friendly feel, and children are warmly welcomed by staff. They are given time to form special bonds with their preferred key person, who in turn responds to their individual needs. Children enjoy being active in the fresh air and they adopt good hygiene routines that help to promote their good health. Staff are positive, calm and sensitive in their approach to behaviour management. Young children enjoy picking the strawberries that they have grown to eat for a snack. Children confidently engage in conversations and ask questions, showing that they feel safe and secure. Older children play cooperatively with their peers, sharing and taking turns without prompting.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning and are developing the skills they need for their move on to school. The manager and deputy track the progress made by groups of children effectively to identify where improvements to the environment can be made. For example, staff created a space-themed role-play area to encourage boys to engage more in imaginative play and literacy activities. Babies explore their attractive surroundings with pleasure and confidence. Younger children develop good imagination skills when initiating their own play themes outdoors, in the role-play kitchen. Children are keen to have a go at doing things for themselves, such as putting on their own coat, and they develop good self-care skills. Older children are independent and motivated learners.
