This provision is good

 All staff are welcoming, caring and sensitive to children's needs. They are highly effective in helping children to settle, and to be happy to stay and play. Children demonstrate a secure sense of belonging in the nursery. They welcome and talk to visitors and they are confident to move freely around their environment.  Each playroom is creatively organised. For example, children can choose to take part in a wide variety of activities, and explore and use the abundance of resources. Children are continually stimulated to engage in active play and learning.  Children's safety is given high priority. Staff provide very high levels of supervision. They make sure children are always in their sight and help them to learn what steps they can take to keep themselves safe.  Staff create a very inclusive environment. Children's home experiences are reflected throughout the nursery. Staff work effectively in partnership with parents and other

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, the planning of some adult-led activities is not meticulous enough to make sure that children have opportunities to make consistently high rates of progress.  On occasions, meal and snack times are not organised so that children are fully supported to use the knowledge and skills they are developing.

She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of persons working in the nursery.  The inspector spoke to children during the inspection. She spoke to parents and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Management undertakes robust recruitment and ongoing suitable checks to make sure staff are suitable to work with children. All staff know and understand their roles and responsibilities with regard to child protection. They are alert to indicators of concern and confident about the procedures to follow if they have any issues about a child's welfare. Good focus is given to enhancing staff's professional development. Senior staff are qualified trainers who provide ongoing support, guidance and coaching for staff. They continually drive new ideas to improve teaching. As a result, teaching is consistently strong. Self-evaluation includes the views of children, parents and staff, and leads to ongoing improvements in children's care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use accurate assessments to identify and promote children's next steps in learning. Staff quickly recognise and help to close any gaps in children's learning by providing well- targeted support. In some instances, staff provide parents with highly tailored guidance and support, and discussions with parents demonstrate that this has been extremely successful in accelerating their child's progress in areas, such as being able to recognise and manage feelings. Staff skilfully join in with children's play. They support children's learning in a playful and enthusiastic way. Staff help children to immerse themselves in imaginative and creative play. They encourage children to use all of their senses to explore and experiment using the array of different natural and man-made textures. Children of all ages show high levels of energy and fascination as they look and listen to sounds. Staff successfully help children to develop their communication and language.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

They support children who learn to speak English as an additional language to acquire a good standard of spoken English.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children quickly develop strong attachments to staff and friendly relationships with other children. They show a secure sense of well-being. They are eager to show and talk about who is in the photographs of their families that staff display in their playroom. Children spend time playing and being active outdoors. Staff place good focus on promoting healthy eating, and identify and meet children's individual dietary needs well. Children develop good appetites. They learn how to grow their own vegetables, and then eat cucumbers and tomatoes.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the skills they need for future learning and the move on to school. All children are highly motivated to play and learn. They show good levels of independence and confidence, and communicate their needs, ideas and feelings well. Children in pre- school talk about and follow the rules in group games. They recognise and write familiar words, such as their name. Babies develop a high drive to become mobile, and explore their increasing control over their bodies and the sounds they hear and can make.
