p.1

This provision is good

 The manager is very positive and quick to raise standards across the nursery. She and her business partner have worked steadily to develop and continue to improve a lively nursery at the heart of the community.  Staff work hard to ensure children make good progress in their learning. This includes employing staff who are bilingual to help children who are learning to speak two languages.  Staff gently model their high expectations for children throughout every aspect of their play and routines. Children behave extremely well. For example, they try new foods, develop good table manners and say 'excuse me'.  Children make good progress in mathematics. For example, younger children begin to identify numerals on coins and older children use everyday language to compare weight and size and make predictions.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Some early interventions can be slow to get started, which occasionally means that staff and parents have a relatively short time to help children gain confidence and the skills they need for school.  Staff do not take full advantage of opportunities to engage children in the planning of activities. These are sometimes so well prepared that children have less opportunities to think, discover or problem solve for themselves.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed, listened to and talked with children as they played indoors and during outdoor play.  The inspector talked with parents and listened to their views about the nursery and their children's progress.  The inspector looked at children's records. She also discussed staff planning and evaluation of activities and how they exchange information with parents.  The inspector observed care routines and completed a joint observation with the manager. Together they discussed how staff training had contributed to children's learning and development.  The inspector reviewed records and procedures, including those which related to safeguarding, risk assessment and children's welfare.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager's enthusiasm for developing high-quality services for children and their families is reflected in thorough evaluations and targeted improvements across the nursery. She reflects carefully on the views of parents and invests in developing staff knowledge and skills to constantly raise outcomes for children. For example, staff and parents appreciate the benefits of new systems for monitoring children's progress and promoting the next steps in their learning. Safeguarding is effective. The manager checks that staff know how to identify any child protection concerns and respond appropriately. Any medical information, accidents or injuries are clearly recorded and reviewed. The manager checks to see if the detailed risk assessments and procedures to help keep children safe and healthy at the nursery may be strengthened or used more effectively.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Well-qualified, professional staff constantly reflect on the quality of their teaching and plan a wide range of interesting activities to engage children's curiosity for learning. For example, older children develop a secure understanding of floating and sinking, while younger children enjoy 'having a go' at tasting new flavours and foods from around the world. The manager works alongside the staff, modelling good practice and sharing her in- depth understanding of each child's individual needs. For example, staff encourage children to use different tools, including their fingers and pencils, to make the shapes of letters in different materials as they sound out words. Younger children attach meaning to the marks they make and older children practise early reading and writing skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff create a safe, welcoming environment where children feel secure and valued as individuals. They sensitively support children as they grow in independence, such as helping them to manage their own belongings, change their shoes and cut fruit for a snack. Children gain confidence as they learn to do small tasks for themselves safely. Staff encourage parents and grandparents to visit and share their expertise with the children. This provides children with a much broader understanding of the world around them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children, including those in receipt of additional funding, make good levels of progress in their learning. This also includes children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities and most children who are learning more than one language. Younger children have much to talk about. For instance, they delight in re-telling funny stories about the various pets and hens they help to care for at the nursery. Older children learn responsibility and develop skills in teamwork that help them when they move on to school.
