p.1

This provision requires improvement. It is not yet good because:

 Staff do not consistently implement effective hygiene procedures and they do not ensure they help children to maintain their personal hygiene appropriately.  Self-evaluation is not robust enough and does not identify key weakness in practice, so that the provider is able to take swift action to address these.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Staff provide good-quality teaching and promote children's learning well. They use a wide range of methods and adapt teaching according to children's stage of development.  Staff make accurate assessments of children's development. They are alert to any gaps in children's learning. They take appropriate action and use specific strategies to help children make good progress.  Children are happy in the nursery. They develop good levels of independence skills. Staff encourage all children to serve themselves at mealtimes. Children have access to drinking water that is within reach.  Staff involve parents in their child's learning. They take home bags with a range of resources to support children's development in all areas of learning. Parents receive regular feedback about their child's development and discuss what they do at home.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff know the procedures to report any concerns about children in their care. Staff have opportunities to maintain their professional development and acquire skills to effectively support children's learning. In particular, they use visual aids positively to promote the understanding of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who speak English as additional language. The provider ensures the deployment of staff is effective and they supervise children well. There is an acceptable ratio of staff to children. A sufficient number of qualified staff work in the nursery to meet requirements. The provider understands the importance of notifying Ofsted about management changes in the nursery. Self-evaluation is not robust enough and does not include key weaknesses in the provision. For example, staff implement inconsistent care practices and this means children do not always benefit

from effective procedures to promote all aspects of their good health. Parents praise the staff for welcoming environment and their knowledge of the needs of children in their care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide stimulating learning experiences and teaching matches children's level of development. Staff allow time for children to practise skills, such as exploring textures. Staff model words clearly during sand play. They encourage two-year-old children to join in and then change their teaching in line with children's imaginative play. Staff give good guidance so that pre-school children count while they measure ingredients. They effectively talk about sizes and shapes while they mould and flatten playdough. They give frequent praise and motivate children to try new experiences, such as mixing dry and wet ingredients. Staff make accurate assessments of children's achievements. They identify precisely the extra support that is required to close any gaps in children's learning. Staff plan effectively, so that overall, children make good progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Weaknesses in leadership and management generally affect the welfare of children. For example, the arrangements for protecting children against infection are not robust. Staff do not always encourage all children to wash their hands before eating snack. At times, staff do not wash their own hands after they have wiped children's noses. However, children develop some personal skills. Young children in the baby room know the routine and sit after lunch to look at books on their own. Children behave well and follow rules to use manners appropriately. Children are happy in the nursery. They form strong relationships with staff and make friends.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy their learning experiences at nursery. They learn to share, take turns and negotiate the use of resources. Children develop independence skills and are confident learners. They recognise letters in their names and use language of size appropriately. They develop the skills they needs for further learning at nursery or school.
