p.1

This provision is good

 Partnerships with parents are strong. Staff keep parents informed about their child's day and the progress they make. Parents feel part of their children's learning. They speak well of the staff in the nursery. They particularly praise the understanding staff show their children and how they develop children's confidence.  Staff are thoughtful and considerate. They know the children well and offer them good levels of emotional security. Children are happy and self-assured, and enjoy spending time with their friends and staff.  Children behave well. Staff take time to explain simple rules about sharing and taking turns, and help the children to value their friends.  The learning experiences for children are good. Staff know the children well and plan activities that are enjoyable and help them make good progress. For example, children talk to each other and staff about what they are making with dough.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Some staff follow routines too closely and do not support children in the most effective way to develop their play without unnecessary interruptions.  Sometimes, staff do not engage children or fully challenge what they know, in particular the older children to help extend their learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff understand their role in protecting and keeping children safe. They know the procedures to follow and whom they should contact if they have any concerns about children's welfare. The manager, who is also the provider, follows thorough recruitment procedures to recruit new staff to help ensure they are, and remain, suitable to work with children. The manager supervises and observes staff. She encourages them to attend training, which develops their childcare and teaching skills, helping children to make good progress in their learning. The manager and staff devise action plans to identify areas for further development effectively. For example, staff are considering ways to improve the outside area to benefit children. Staff make clear assessments of children's progress that help them to identify and close any gaps in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know the children well, plan enjoyable activities that link to children's interests and support their learning. For example, children enjoy drawing shapes. They remember the heart shape from a previous day when they had made Valentine's cards. Children are beginning to recognise colours, such as the colours of the shapes they are drawing. Children are curious and eager to investigate, for example, they explore magic sand, pouring it into water and talking about how it feels when it is wet. Staff support children to develop good control of their bodies. For example, they support them to put on their coats and prepare for outdoor play. Children enjoy play in the outdoor area, they dig in the sand and move the dinosaurs around the bark.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are nurturing and have a warm and friendly approach. Children are delighted to arrive in the nursery and greet the staff with hugs. Children are confident, and freely investigate the resources and play space, showing they feel safe and secure. Children are well behaved and staff support them to understand simple rules to keep safe, for example, to walk inside and to share with their friends. Staff encourage children's independence well, for example, they teach the children to manage their personal care.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. Those who require additional support develop well. Children count confidently and start to recognise numbers. For example, laughing as they jump onto numbers on a mat. Children are developing good use of language. They enjoy singing songs and joining in with the matching actions. They confidently choose their favourite songs to sing. Children are ready for their next stage in learning and the move to school when the time comes.
