It is not yet outstanding because:

 The outdoor environment is not always meticulously planned to promote very high levels of curiosity, concentration and imagination for all age groups of children.  Staff do not always make the best use of their knowledge of children's development to plan precise ways to help them make rapid progress.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The management team ensures that staff are well deployed throughout the nursery and children are well supervised at all times. Staff complete regular checks of the nursery environment to ensure that any hazards are minimised and that children are kept safe. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff receive regular training to support their continued good knowledge. They can recognise the signs or symptoms of abuse and know who to contact if they are concerned about the welfare of a child. The manager monitors children's progress across the nursery. Following on from her most recent analysis of children's development, she identified mathematics as an area for more focus. Staff have since attended a mathematics training session, to develop their teaching of mathematics and improve children's outcomes even further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Pre-school children enjoy group singing sessions designed to support their phonic knowledge. They confidently recognise and join in with the actions and can easily identify a wide range of letters and sounds. Toddlers develop their physical skills. They enjoy jumping up and down on a small trampoline in the outdoor area. Babies enjoy the sensory experience of putting their hands in paint and printing onto paper. Staff join in with children's play enthusiastically. They talk positively to children and encourage them to try new activities. Staff observe children regularly and share children's progress with parents and carers using a newly introduced electronic system.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well. Staff are good role models and have high expectations for children's behaviour. Children display good manners and share toys and resources kindly with their friends. Children have regular opportunities to play outside and benefit from daily fresh air. Staff promote healthy lifestyles and children enjoy a wide range of healthy meals and snacks. An effective key-person system helps staff to provide a warm, nurturing environment for children. Children feel confident and safe to explore their environment, indoors and outdoors. Settling-in procedures are flexible according to children's individual needs. Staff share information with each other effectively to help children settle in their new environments when they move on to the next room.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop a range of skills to support them in their future learning. Babies begin to take independent steps and use simple signs as they learn to communicate. Toddlers show interest in numbers and correctly identify a range of simple shapes. Pre-school children talk confidently about their home life and show confidence in communicating with adults. Children make good progress from their starting points in learning.
