This provision is good

 Managers and staff have made significant improvements since the last inspection to address the action raised. Staff implement effective procedures to clearly record and adhere to children's specific dietary needs throughout the day, therefore, ensuring their individual needs are met.  Managers and staff are knowledgeable of the signs of possible harm and neglect, and the procedures for raising their concerns with the relevant agencies.  Relationships between staff, children and parents are very good. Daily communication ensures children's progress and achievements are shared with parents.  Children behave well. Staff are positive role models for children, and recognise and celebrate children's achievements. Staff support children as they learn to share and take turns as they play.  Children benefit from plenty of fresh air and exercise each day. They enjoy walks in the community and visiting places of interest in the local area. Children have many

It is not yet outstanding because:

 While staff plan and provide a wide variety of learning opportunities, at times, they complete tasks on the children's behalf instead of allowing children to complete for themselves.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff maintain a safe and secure environment. They identify and take actions to minimise any potential hazards within the nursery, the garden and on outings to ensure children's safety. Staff work in partnership with parents to know and meet their child's needs, and welcome other professionals involved in children's lives into the nursery. Staff work closely with others to support children to make the best progress. Parents speak positively about the service provided. They praise staff for the care and attention they afford their children who thoroughly enjoy their time in nursery each day.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know children very well and form close attachments with them. They observe, assess and plan for children's individual needs, and use information they gather from parents about their child to plan from the start of their placement. Babies enjoy lots of sensory play. They feel different materials, such as shaving foam and paint, as well as exploring resources made from natural materials. Staff support children's imagination and language and communication skills well, particularly their enjoyment of books. For example, children retell familiar stories, identifying key roles and familiar text, and confidently identify the different characters within the story. Staff provide activities to further support their enjoyment. For example, children make golden coloured dough to create gold coins and eggs reflecting their favourite story about a boy and some magic beans.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff know children's individual health needs well which they meet continually throughout the day. Children enjoy a wide range of nutritious foods, freshly prepared each day. Overall, staff are fully aware of children's individual dietary needs. Children's awareness of the wider world continually grows, such as through discussion, learning about cultural celebrations and a wide variety of resources that reflects people from around the world, as well as those who have disabilities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress. They develop the skills needed for future learning in readiness for their move on to school. They develop confidence and lead on their own play. Children recognise their names and register their attendance at nursery each day. Their language and communication skills grow. Children have ample time to plan their response to any questions asked.
