This provision is good

 Leaders and managers monitor children's progress closely, identifying gaps in learning. They then plan specific actions for staff to take and make sure that these gaps close quickly.  Relationships at all levels are very good. Key staff support children's emotional well- being through close and caring interactions during the day. Parents are pleased with the way that their children settle and are more than happy with the good progress they are making.  Staff work hard to support children as they take the next step in their learning. This includes their thoughtful preparation in helping children to move from one room to another and the eventual move on to school.  The nursery has clear priorities for improvement. Leaders and managers gather information about how well the nursery is developing from their own observations, as well as feedback from parents. This then helps them to put together their plans for

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff are not always fully supported to improve the quality of their teaching when specific areas for development have been identified.  Teaching is not always fully effective in helping children to hear and say the initial sounds in words.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are well trained and have a very good understanding of the potential signs and symptoms of abuse. Policies and procedures follow local guidelines. They are accessible for staff and parents and underpin the nursery's day-to-day practice. Staff work closely with other professionals in the locality, such as teachers, health workers and early years practitioners. This helps to keep them up to date, share good practice and effectively support children, particularly in the move on to school. Staff are well qualified in their roles and work together well to support the nursery's overall aims for improvement. The managers seek and listen to feedback from parents. This helps them, in particular, to fully consider how well children have settled into the nursery.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff play alongside children and help them to express their interests and make independent choices. Children spontaneously gather round as staff read stories with expression and excitement. Staff challenge children to find out how many animals they can see. The youngest children accurately recite number names in order, exceeding expected levels of development for their age. Staff use their observations well to plan appropriate activities to support children's learning further. Assessment information is accurate and identifies children's uniqueness.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and show that they feel safe and secure. For example, they leave their parents with support and encouragement from key staff as they arrive in the nursery. Staff help children to manage their feelings and behaviour. They use clear language and help children to understand rules and boundaries. They also show and talk to children about taking turns in games and activities. Staff place high priority on supporting children's social and emotional development, helping them to behave well. Staff provide parents with a range of information and practical support for issues, such as potty training. Children's physical development and organisation of the environment has recently been the focus for improvement. Staff recognise that changes made to the outdoor area have significantly improved children's motivation and engagement in learning.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children use a range of tools and equipment. They dig for 'treasure' in the outdoor sandpit. Older children use everyday resources as they play alongside others in the pretend shop. Younger children choose and join in with familiar songs and rhymes. They anticipate repeated phrases and use actions to accompany their singing. Children are keen, eager and make good progress in all areas of learning.
