It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not consistently provide children with a wide range of resources and activities to challenge and build on their curiosity, particularly for those who enjoy playing outdoors.  At times, toddlers sit ready for their food; however, the food is not available and some children become frustrated at having to wait.

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors.  The inspector completed out a joint observation with the manager and discussed children's learning.  The inspector sampled documentation, including staff suitability and training details, children's development records, accident and incident records, and self-evaluation.  The inspector discussed self-evaluation with the manager.  The inspector spoke with parents and children and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager offers staff good support, guidance and further training to develop their practice further. For example, staff have developed their observation and assessment skills to a higher level. This has had a positive impact on children's learning. Good communication, planning and detailed risk assessments supported the extensive refurbishment of the indoor areas. Management oversees robust security checks and routine safety reviews of the premises. This helps ensure staff and contractors prioritise children's security and welfare at all times. Staff understand their role in keeping children safe and have a good knowledge of what to do should they have concerns about a child's welfare. The nursery has clear accident and incident policies and procedures that staff follow well. Safeguarding is effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan a challenging and engaging learning environment. For example, older children enjoy using blocks to make enclosures for 'animals', and staff support them in creating a story around their play. Children confidently share their ideas and show high levels of concentration and persistence. Staff support children's communication skills well. For example, they consistently commentate on young children's play, naming what they see and do to help build their early language development. Staff demonstrate good skills when challenging and extending children's learning. This includes making the most of spontaneous opportunities. For example, as children play with hoops staff encourage them to predict how far each hoop will travel before falling.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff show good levels of care and concern to children who are new to the nursery. They stay close and talk to them about what will happen next. Children are well behaved and understand what is expected of them. Children show kindness and consideration to each other, such as taking turns in the use of resources. They take pride in looking after the environment and happily work together to help clear away after activities. Children show impressive skills when tackling physical challenges, such as learning to jump, skip and balance as they play with hoops and walk across stepping stones. Staff deploy themselves effectively to support children's safety.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children of all ages make good progress in their learning. Children are inquisitive learners who enjoy trying new experiences. Babies are curious about the world around them, for example, as they explore different materials in books. The two-year-olds happily explore dough and confidently learn how to use rolling pins and shape cutters. Older children develop their literacy skills well as they learn to identify and write the letters in their names. Children acquire good skills for their future learning and for moving on to school.
