It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasions, staff do not fully support children to extend their imaginary play and develop their creativity.  Although staff provide good support for children who speak English as an additional language to develop their communication skills, they provide fewer opportunities for children to use their home languages in their play and learning.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff demonstrate a secure knowledge of the signs and symptoms of abuse. They know the procedures to follow if they had concerns about an adult or a child's welfare. The provider has a good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses in practice. She uses her findings from evaluation to develop targeted action plans that support continuing improvement well. Focused professional development is helping all staff to raise their teaching skills to a higher standard. The provider works closely with the local authority and other settings to raise standards of care and learning across the district. She liaises with schools to ensure there is a consistent approach to monitoring children's progress and to smooth the transition for children. The provider uses monitoring of groups of children effectively to identify any gaps in learning and ensure all children develop the skills they need for school.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy their time in the nursery. They are confident and sociable. They are keen to share their learning with visitors and talk about their family and friends. Staff organise the environment well so that children can choose from a wide range of resources and make choices about their play. Staff use pictures and props to encourage listening during story sessions. They provide commentary for children's play, modelling language and new words well, such as 'sprout' and 'porcupine'. Staff display pictures and photographs showing familiar people and activities and talk about them with the children. They provide activities that help children to learn to distinguish differences in sounds. For example, they encourage babies to explore maracas and drums. Staff help children to develop mathematical skills. They encourage them to count and help them to begin to understand capacity and measure.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Parents comment that staff are attentive to children. Parents are encouraged to be involved in nursery life and charity events. Children regularly enjoy trips off the premises that enhance their learning, such as going to the local shop to buy provisions and den building in the woods. They learn how to play safely and manage risks well. Staff provide parents with information about how to keep their children safe and healthy. They promote good hygiene and children's independence in personal care routines. Children enjoy developing their physical skills in the outdoor area. They learn to balance and jump. They enjoy a wide range of healthy snacks and home-cooked meals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points. Those who are not achieving their expected targets when they enter the nursery soon catch up. Children are keen to learn. They learn to resolve disputes amicably and find solutions. They enjoy each other's company, playing in small groups with other children who share their interests, developing good social skills.
