p.1

This provision is good

 Children and babies are well supported when they start in the nursery. Staff gather information from parents to help them provide the right learning environment for children and continuity of care. This helps children settle quickly and feel secure.  Parents are kept well informed about all aspects of their children's care, learning and development. Parents are very complimentary about the nursery and comment on the positive impact staff have on their children.  Staff understand that each child is unique. They ensure that interesting resources and activities are available for children and babies, indoors and outdoors.  The provider and manager gather accurate information about the progress made by individuals and groups of different children. They use this information successfully to identify where extra support is needed to raise children's attainment in areas, such as mathematics and literacy.

This provision is good

 Children form positive relationships with staff and their friends. They are well behaved, polite and share and take turns with toys as they play alongside each other.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always make the most of opportunities to extend and build on the older and most-able children's learning.  On occasions, staff respond too quickly after asking children questions, not giving them enough time to think and answer for themselves.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The well-qualified provider, manager and staff team work effectively together. They support children and their families very well. They also work in strong partnerships with other professionals to support children's specialist care and learning needs. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are deployed successfully and this helps them ensure that all children are supervised and kept safe. Staff fully understand their child protection responsibilities. They also have secure knowledge of the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child or an adult. Recruitment and induction procedures are effective in checking staff's initial and ongoing suitability. The management team reflect on the provision to drive continual improvement. They provide supervision meetings and one-to-one discussions. Staff also access good professional development opportunities to continually build on their skills and knowledge.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are enthusiastic and support children's learning well. They use a running commentary throughout play. This helps to support language and communication skills successfully. Children enjoy singing songs and listening to their favourite stories. They gain increasing confidence to speak in groups and share their opinions. Staff use their observations and assessments of children's progress thoughtfully to identify what children need to learn next. They also gather and use children's views and ideas when planning activities. Children and babies are captivated as they explore sensory materials, investigating dough, shaving foam, flour and rice using tools and their hands. Children are creative as they experiment with paint, glitter and glue. They use practical mathematical skills as they fill and empty containers with the sand and water.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children confidently develop their independence skills. They pour their drinks and use utensils to select and serve their food. They learn about good hygiene practices as they wash their hands at appropriate times. Children demonstrate a good understanding of the food that is good for them. For example, they confidently talk about how fruit and vegetables contain vitamins and how milk and yogurt are good for their bones. Staff provide daily opportunities for children to explore and exercise outdoors to support their physical well-being and good health.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All groups of children make good progress during their time in the nursery. Children are enthusiastic to learn. They listen well, follow instructions and make friendships with others. Children enjoy early counting and solving problems. For example, they count how many children are present and work out how many more days they have until Christmas. Babies freely explore their surroundings, making independent choices about their play. Children are well prepared emotionally and gain essential skills to help them make the move on to the next room in the nursery and then on to school.
