p.1

This provision is good

 The manager continuously uses self-evaluation to identify and improve specific areas in the nursery to enhance the learning experiences of all children. She gathers the views or parents, staff and children to support this.  Parents say that they receive good-quality information about their children's care and progress. They particularly praise the manager and staff for the support and advice they say they receive to help them extend their children's learning at home. This provides continuity for children.  Staff provide children with stimulating and varied activities which support them in becoming motivated learners. Staff support all children in making good progress.  The emotional well-being of children is carefully nurtured by staff. Children learn to share their resources, activities and space with each other. Staff skilfully develop children's social skills and children are confident and outgoing.

This provision is good

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager ensures that staff are confident in their understanding of the signs and symptoms which may give cause for concern about a child's welfare. They have completed training updates about how to identify any children who may be at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas or behaviours. Staff are secure in their understanding of what do if they have concerns about the behaviour of adults in the nursery. The manager constantly monitors the professional development of staff, for example, through regular supervision and training. Staff use the skills and knowledge they gain from training, for example, to provide targeted activities for children who may need additional support. This particularly supports children who have special additional needs (SEN) and/or disabilities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff regularly observe children and monitor their progress. They use this information to plan activities which build further on what each child needs to learn next. Children's physical development is well supported by staff. For example, when outside older children climb over and through tunnels and younger ones crawl and explore. Children enjoy exploring and learning about the natural world. They scoop leaves, add water and stir 'leaf soup'. Staff develop children's mathematical skills well. For example, children work together as they count, sort and group objects. Staff improve outcomes for all children.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are warm and caring towards the children and are good role models. The key-person system effectively supports parents and children when they join the nursery. Children settle quickly and become ready to learn. Staff provide opportunities for children to learn about people who help keep them stay safe and healthy. For example, they receive visits from firefighters, police and a dentist. Children carry out simple acts of self-care, for example, as they help lay the table at lunchtime and scrape any leftover food off their plates when they have finished eating. All children behave well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children continuously use their imaginations and direct their play. For example, they pretend to run an ice-cream shop and become engrossed in serving each other. The youngest children show nearby adults how they make the dolls they are playing with go to 'bed'. Children concentrate for extended periods and do not distract each other. They remember what they learn, using this to gain satisfaction from their activity. For example, they excitedly sing the Christmas songs they have been practising together. Children are well prepared for the next stage of their learning, including school.
