This provision is good

 The overall quality of the nursery is good. The nursery manager implements a robust safeguarding policy that staff understand and adhere to. Safeguarding is given a high priority and as a result, children are kept safe.  Staff manage children's behaviour well. They get down to the children's eye level to give clear explanations. They create a calm learning environment and children behave in a positive manner. Children are learning to take turns and play with friends.  Staff are caring and affectionate towards the children. This helps children to make secure attachments and has a positive effect on their emotional well-being.  All children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress in their learning and have developed some key skills to support them in the next stage of their learning.  Staff make accurate assessments of children's learning and plan interesting activities

based on their interests and next steps in development.  Staff encourage children to learn about British values. This helps them to learn about and respect the differences between each other.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, the quality of teaching in the baby room is not as consistent as other areas of the nursery, to enable all children to be as highly engaged as possible in activities.  The organisation of routines, such as mealtimes, is too long and this sometimes takes time away from children's free play.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The management team understands the importance of ensuring the suitability of new and existing staff. They undertake robust checks on all staff to ensure they are suitable to work with children. Staff take part in a very good training programme. This supports their professional development and raises the overall quality of their practice. A high number of staff are first-aid trained and this helps them deal with any accidents that occur, swiftly and appropriately. Staff constantly reflect on the overall quality of the nursery and identify areas that can be developed further. Staff have developed good partnerships with local schools. This helps prepare children emotionally for the next stage in their learning. Partnerships with parents are strong. There is a good hand-over procedure in place to ensure that important information about the child is given to staff. Parents comment very positively on the overall quality of

the nursery and feel it is very good for their children's development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan a wide range of interesting activities that is based on their accurate assessments of children's learning and their interests. Children particularly enjoy the messy activities, playing with a wide range of different materials and using them imaginatively. For example, they pretend to make tea and coffee for their friends using the gloop. Staff use group assessments to ensure that they monitor the learning programme robustly and to quickly identify any gaps in children's learning. This ensures that children enjoy a very wide range of balanced activities that supports their learning and development. Children demonstrate that they are eager to learn and explore.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

There is a well-established key-person system that supports engagement with parents and ensures that children make secure attachments to staff. Effective arrangements are in place to support children emotionally as they move to new groups in the nursery. Their key person supports them during visits and this helps to ensure that transitions are smooth and information about the child is shared with their new key person. Robust procedures are in place to meet children's needs. For example, staff undertake care routines, such as nappy changing, very sensitively and regularly, this helps to meet children's individual needs. Staff give children medicine and apply cream, when appropriate. Children enjoy the daily access to the outdoor area and are learning about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning and acquire the necessary skills to support their development. Children's mathematical skills are developing well. For instance, they count accurately during their play and use mathematical language to make comparisons about size.
