It is not yet outstanding because:

 Systems to monitor staff do not yet have a strong enough emphasis on incisively evaluating their practice to help raise the quality of teaching to an outstanding level.  Sometimes, staff are not skilled enough, particularly in the use of questioning as a tool, to give younger children enough time to think through, respond and talk about what they are doing while they play.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a robust understanding of child protection and the procedures they must implement to help safeguard children. Secure arrangements are in place for the recruitment of staff and all are vetted to ensure they are safe to care for children. There are effective systems in place to ensure new staff receive a thorough induction and are clear about their roles and responsibilities. The manager analyses information data to identify gaps in achievement between different groups of children. She implements and monitors effective strategies to ensure that all children make good progress. Parents are very positive about the nursery. They feel strongly that their children are safe and well cared for.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff observe, track and assess children's development effectively. They successfully identify children's next steps and incorporate these well into planning. Staff capture children's interest through activities, such as manipulating shaving foam and sand to encourage children to investigate the properties of different materials. Older children listen well and follow instructions as they syphon, measure and fill a variety of containers with coloured water. They learn to count during activities and daily routines and recognise mathematical terms, such as 'bigger' and 'smaller'. Children sit happily with staff as they listen to engaging stories. This helps to effectively support young children's early literacy skills. Children delight in using a variety of wooden instruments to make music.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's personal, social and emotional development are well promoted through regular praise and encouragement. Children make strong bonds and attachments with staff and their peers and demonstrate that they are happy and settled. Staff caring for babies know their routines and care needs well and follow them according to parents' wishes. Children are well supported as they settle at the nursery, change rooms and move on to school. Children learn the importance of exercise and good hygiene practices. Children are sociable and confidently approach visitors to ask them questions.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who receive funded education, make good progress from their starting points. Babies and toddlers are active and interested learners. They develop good physical skills as they carefully negotiate their environment. Younger children quickly learn how to use spoons to feed themselves and enjoy taking part in activities, such as yoga and story time. Older children are independent and well motivated. They are keen to get involved and confidently make their own choices about what they want to do. Children are well prepared for the next stage in their learning.
