p.1

This provision is good

 The senior leadership team of the nursery is strong. Staff morale is high and the manager has worked relentlessly since the last inspection to bring about change.  The dedicated manager has set a high precedence to staff, children and parents alike. She has cultivated an ethos where only the best is good enough and has successfully embedded robust monitoring systems. This has resulted in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment improving at a rapid rate.  Staff teach children very well about the importance of respect, tolerance and acceptance. Children articulately discuss the structure of different families and confidently talk about what makes them special. Children are well-rounded individuals who have a deep understanding of the diverse community in which they live.  Staff are skilled in promoting children's large-muscle development and provide children with an exciting array of opportunities to be physically active.

This provision is good

 Partnership working is strong. Links with the local authority and external childcare professionals are good. Parents receive comprehensive information packs about the nursery and are kept well informed of their children's developmental progress.  The manager has an open-door policy for parents and staff. She has robust systems in place for dealing with complaints and these are investigated and evaluated with rigour.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff and children's views do not inform the nursery's self-evaluation process.  There are times when staff do not use the correct vocabulary when talking to children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. A robust safeguarding policy is in place and is understood by all staff. The manager has cascaded her knowledge of recent child protection training to her staff team, which has resulted in them having a good understanding of the possible signs and indicators of abuse and neglect. All areas of the nursery premises are safe, secure and fit for purpose. Robust risk assessments are in place and staff supervise children with great vigilance. The manager has a good understanding of the Data Protection Act 1998 and understands her legal duties to ensure she complies with the safe handling of personal information, data and records. Robust recruitment and vetting procedures are in place and all staff have undergone stringent suitability checks. Overall, improvement plans are sharply focused. The manager provides staff with perceptive support, guidance and coaching during supervision sessions and appraisal meetings. Staff receive a good

professional development programme, which has a positive impact on outcomes for children. For example, a course around the development of babies has equipped staff with a good knowledge of how to promote and challenge early sensory development through music, movement and play.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Good teaching, robust monitoring and personalised learning experiences enable all children to make good progress. Staff have a secure understanding of child development and use effective teaching strategies to keep children interested and motivated to learn. Observation, assessment and planning arrangements are good. Staff skilfully observe children and effectively use this information to plan exciting first-hand experiences. They track the progress children make with great rigour and are adept at putting timely interventions in place to diminish the difference in learning. Children who speak English as an additional language are supported very well and make good gains towards the early learning goals. Staff provide innovative ways to support their emerging language development and liaise with external professionals to ensure interventions are effective.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Care practices are good. Staff are loving, caring and attentive towards children and support their emotional and physical well-being very well. Children are self-confident, self- motivated and resilient individuals. They behave very well and show genuine affection towards one another. Staff provide children with good opportunities to learn about healthy living and are provided with wholesome, healthy and nutritious foods.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are polite, courteous and highly inquisitive individuals who are well prepared for their eventual move on to school. They share toys, follow rules and tend to their physical needs. Younger children delight in exploring custard and become fascinated while singing. Older children become enthralled while discussing capacity and excitedly complete puzzles. They write their names and skilfully count and measure objects.
