p.1

This provision is good

 The manager continuously reflects on the children's care, learning and development, and uses this information well to make further improvements to enhance children's learning experiences.  Staff are particularly skilful at supporting children's physical development. They create a variety of interesting and engaging activities, which motivate children. For example, children excitedly exercise and move in many different ways.  The key-person system works well in supporting children's emotional well-being. Children form positive, secure relationships with staff. They are happy, settled and behave well.  Staff work well with outside professionals, when needed. This particularly supports children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities.  Staff are secure in their knowledge of how to support the development of young children. They create activities and supply resources which support all areas of

learning. They improve outcomes for children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff are not always as effective as possible in challenging children's abilities to think and work out problems for themselves.  Staff do not consistently help parents to extend at home what their children learn in the nursery, to fully support continuity in children's learning.

She discussed self-evaluation with the provider.  The inspector talked to staff, children and parents to gather their views.

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. Staff have completed training updates about how to identify any children who may be at risk of exposure to extreme ideas or behaviours. The manager carries out regular supervisions, which help her ensure staff are suitable to work with children. Staff carry out regular risk assessments and use these to make improvements to security at the nursery. This helps them to keep children safe. The manager supports staff's professional development well, for example, through regular training. Staff use their training effectively, for instance, to support children's listening and attention skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are skilled at building on children's immediate interests and use this to enhance their play and activities. They support children's mathematical development well. For example, while making play dough, staff encourage children to count the number of times they shake their sieves when adding flour. Staff regularly and accurately monitor and assess children's progress. They use this information to carefully plan what children need to learn next. Staff work closely with parents to gather information about what their children know and can do when they join the nursery. Staff quickly identify children who may need additional support and quickly put strategies in place to help them catch up. All children make good progress from their different starting points.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are warm and caring. Children learn about a healthy lifestyle. For example, they eat interesting meals and are encouraged to try new foods. Staff follow very clear procedures if a child has an accident in the nursery. Staff provide children with interesting opportunities to learn about the local community and people whose experience may be different to their own. For example, they go to the local canal to view the boats and then visit nearby shops on the way back to the nursery. Children use puppets and books to explore their emotions and learn about their similarities and differences.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are interested and motivated learners who are keen to share their learning with others. For example, they ask nearby adults to watch when they dance, sing and perform to their favourite music. Children actively engage in imaginative play and pretend they are 'digging up the road'. They confidently select their own resources to support their play and choose hats, jackets and tools. Children make connections in their learning. For example, they use their emerging literacy skills to say that 'saw' and 'snake' begin with 's'. These skills help prepare them for the next stage in their learning, including school.
