This provision is good

 The management team and staff have worked hard to make good improvements to the nursery since the last inspection. All weaknesses previously identified have been addressed effectively. Children's, parents' and staffs' views are fully considered as part of the evaluation process. The management team shows a good capacity to continually improve the nursery.  Staff provide stimulating learning environments for the children. All resources are easily accessible and children engage in lots of self-directed learning both, indoors and outdoors. Children make good progress.  Children are learning to be independent very well and pre-school children demonstrate good self-care skills. For example, they dress themselves and pour their own drinks at snack time.  Children's emotional well-being is supported well. Staff and children have warm caring relationships and children are happy and settled

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Although, staff understand how children learn they do not always provide children with enough time to think through their ideas or to formulate their answers when asked questions.  At time, children are not fully helped to understand what is expected of them.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have undergone training and now have a thorough understanding of their responsibility to keep children safe. In addition, they know what to do if they are concerned about a child's welfare or another member of staff's practice. Good recruitment and vetting procedures help to ensure that all staff are suitable to work with children. New staff are assigned a mentor to support them through their induction in the nursery. This helps them to quickly understand their role and responsibilities. Staff receive ongoing support from the management team through supervision and observations of their practice. This helps identify their training needs. The manager monitors groups of children's progress effectively. This helps ensure that gaps are identified and strategies are put in place to close these gaps swiftly. Partnerships with parents and other agencies involved in the care of children are strong and promote

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff make good use of observations and assessments to provide flexible planning of activities to support children's ongoing development. Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities receive tailored support from their key person, SEN coordinator and outside agencies to help ensure that their needs are met very well. Staff support children's communication and language skills effectively. In the baby room staff value babies' attempts at words and repeat back the name of objects clearly. In the toddler room staff model building sentences by adding in words to phrases the child says. Pre-school children enjoy chatting about special events in their lives and staff help them construct sentences when they rephrase words in the correct order.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop a good understanding of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Through activities and routines they learn about food that is good for them. They enjoy healthy snacks and meals and access their water bottles to keep themselves hydrated. Children have good access to the outdoor play areas in all weathers. They have opportunities to run around, climb and balance to keep themselves fit.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop good skills that prepare them well for the next stage of their learning and starting school. In all the playrooms children enjoy looking at books and singing their favourite rhymes and action songs. Children are motivated to learn when they explore using their senses. Pre-school children mix potions and make mud pies in the mud kitchen. Toddlers investigate what happens when water is added to flour and babies explore the sand as it runs through their fingers.
