p.1

This provision requires improvement. It is not yet good because:

 The manager does not ensure staff caring for children have completed relevant paediatric first-aid training.  Sometimes, staff do not engage children, older boys in particular, or fully challenge what they know to help extend their learning further.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Partnerships with parents are successful. Staff share detailed information and keep them informed about their child's day and the progress they make. Furthermore, they suggest ideas for home learning, to help parents to feel part of their children's learning experiences. Parents speak highly of the staff in the nursery, in particular their kindness and approachability.  Staff are enthusiastic in their roles. They are kind and considerate towards the children. Their clear expectations and boundaries help to ensure children's good behaviour.  Children use language well. For example, they enjoy listening to stories and use words and language to predict what will happen next and describe how they feel after they have heard the story. Children make good progress in their learning.  Staff respect and understand children's needs. For example, they effectively support children to make new friends and to settle into nursery routines after long holidays.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children's play and staff interactions with children in the indoor and outdoor areas.  The inspector talked to staff and children and held regular discussions with the manager.  The inspector examined documentation, including a sample of children's records and staff records. This included the suitability checks for staff.  The inspector talked to parents during the inspection to gather their views on the nursery.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the manager.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The manager has not ensured that there are staff with paediatric first-aid training present when children are being cared for. The impact of this is limited as staff have retained knowledge from previous training and they are able to clearly explain how they will treat any minor accidents. The manager has also booked two members of staff on first-aid training in the very near future. The manager observes and supports staff practice well overall. For example, she encourages training opportunities to improve their skills. The staff form a strong team and share their learning experiences to improve children's learning. The manager implements thorough recruitment procedures for new staff and ensures all staff remain suitable to work with children. Staff complete thorough risk assessments and put in measures that help keep children safe. Staff keep all the required information about the children to help keep them safe and their parents well informed.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are clear about their roles in child protection and the procedures to follow if they identify any welfare concerns.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide an inviting, exciting environment. Children are happy and enjoy their play and learning. The systems of observation and assessment help them to identify any gaps in children's learning and take prompt action to support them to make good progress. Staff know the children well. For example, they plan activities to meet their learning needs and to include their interests. Children are carefully supported to make their own decisions. For example, they make choices about the colours of paint they use and staff encourage them to think about the new colours they are making when they mix colours. Children are encouraged to recall past events and excitedly talk about making fruit lollies.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Children's welfare is not fully assured because of the weaknesses in meeting first-aid requirements. However, the premises are safe and secure, and staff ensure children are well supervised. Staff are well deployed, use positive encouragement well and help children to learn about taking turns and sharing. For example, staff gently remind children to pass the food to their friends when serving themselves at mealtimes. Children learn about healthy lifestyles and understand the importance of washing their hands before mealtimes. Staff provide sensitive care to children and babies who are feeling less sure of themselves. For example, they use kind, calming words to help children to feel secure. Children and babies have good opportunities to develop their physical skills. For example, early walkers use push-along toys to move around and older children are pleased as they confidently complete a balancing game.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points, including those who need additional support. They concentrate and use their language skills well. Children use musical instruments to create music, confidently name the instruments and sing familiar songs. Children are ready for their next steps in learning and their moves to school.
