This provision is good

 Children develop close bonds with staff. Staff support children's confidence, such as with consistent praise and encouragement. Children enjoy trying things out and respond well to challenges. For example, children persevere as they negotiate obstacles in the outdoor area.  The well-qualified staff establish positive relationships with parents and provide opportunities for parents to contribute to their children's learning.  Children behave well. Staff support children to identify the impact of their behaviour on others. This means that children are sensitive to other's needs and form positive relationships.  Children who speak English as an additional language are supported well through a range of helpful strategies by caring staff who develop partnerships with a range of professionals.  The experienced staff regularly observe children and provide activities that reflect their interests and what they need to learn next. Children make good progress in their

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The manager does not use information about individual children's progress as well as possible to identify any emerging gaps in the progress of any groups at the earliest opportunity.  Although the manager monitors the quality of teaching, she has not identified where some teaching can be improved further to enhance learning experiences for children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff fully understand the procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. The experienced manager implements rigorous recruitment and vetting procedures to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Partnerships with parents are successful. Staff work closely with all parents to meet children's individual needs. Parents speak very highly about the nursery. Staff ensure that professional links are established with other settings children attend. This ensures a consistent approach to the level of care and teaching provided. The passionate manager quickly acts on the views and advice sought from parents and local authority advisers to improve outcomes for children.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The environment indoors and outdoors is welcoming and this enables children to choose which activity they wish to take part in. The outdoor area has a large selection of resources to help children develop in all areas of their learning. Children have good opportunities to investigate and explore their environment. Staff use effective questioning to help younger children develop good communication and language skills. For example, children have lots of opportunities to learn new languages, enhance their vocabulary and gain confidence in their growing abilities. Children manipulate play dough well and make choices of which tools to use confidently, developing good coordination. Children have fun washing the dolls outdoors, they talk about different body parts on the dolls and make sure they are clean. They enjoy building a balancing walkway with the wooden blocks. Children take it in turns to walk along and then jump off the end. They have fun building

sandcastles in the sand. Children count how many they have made and look at the different sizes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

There is a very happy atmosphere at the nursery and children quickly settle in. Children learn about healthy eating, for example, staff explain how eating well will provide them with lots of energy. Children's independence is promoted well. For instance, staff encourage all children to complete simple tasks, such as putting their coats on, and accessing their lunches. They enjoy playing outdoors each day to support their health and well-being. Younger children develop good physical abilities and gain confidence in their coordination skills. For instance, they use ride-on cars as they navigate space well. Children get excited as they spot a helicopter flying overhead, they stand and wave at it, shouting hello.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are very good listeners and able communicators. They choose and listen to stories attentively and use books to support their learning. They benefit from time and space to concentrate as they complete threading challenges. Children develop a range of skills, which helps them to be well prepared for their next stage of learning and school.
