This provision is good

 Children gain a good understanding of healthy eating and try a wide range of vegetables and fruit. They enjoy nutritious, freshly cooked meals that meet their individual dietary needs. Mealtimes are a social event and children enjoy talking to their friends and staff at this time.  The management team evaluates the nursery well. It takes account of parents' and children's views to improve the provision offered.  Children are well behaved and play cooperatively with their friends. Staff are positive role models and know children and their families well.  Partnerships with parents are well established. Parents praise the family ethos that the staff create. They feel well-informed about their child's learning and care while at nursery.  Staff deploy themselves effectively to meet all children's needs and show them that their play is valued.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always make the best use of their knowledge of children's development to focus precisely on how to help children to make rapid progress.  Although the management team has systems in place to coach and mentor the staff team, they do not focus support sharply to help practitioners to consistently achieve the highest level in their performance.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Recruitment and vetting procedures are rigorous. The manager ensures vigilant procedures are in place to monitor staff's ongoing suitability. Staff have a good knowledge of the signs and symptoms of abuse. They understand the procedures to follow should they have concerns about children's welfare. Staff are vigilant about the security of the premises and check all visitors' identity before entry. Recently, the nursery has improved the security of the site by installing electronic security gates and a higher fence. Following discussions with parents, the outdoor area has been enhanced and there is now a grassed area for the children to access and enjoy. The management team works alongside the staff team to support good practice. They monitor the educational programmes to ensure that all children make good progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The majority of staff are qualified. They use their qualifications and expertise well to plan interesting activities to support children's learning. Staff enthusiastically join in with children's play, using good teaching skills to keep them engaged and learning. For example, children delight as staff play with them in the role-play area. Staff effectively promote children's communication and language skills in English and in Spanish. For instance, staff sing songs in Spanish, getting down to children's level to encourage eye contact. Children practise counting. They count how many children are participating in group time, in both languages. Children delight in the interactive games at group time that are used effectively to help them learn their friends' names and follow instructions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are extremely settled and happy at the nursery. They are polite, well-mannered and show kindness towards each other. Staff consistently offer praise and encouragement, helping to promote children's confidence and sense of self-esteem. Children form close attachments to the caring and friendly staff. Their move on to school is skilfully supported through good links with the school staff. Children develop healthy attitudes towards exercise. They delight in throwing and catching balls, travelling through tunnels and using climbing equipment. The management team and staff communicate well with each other to ensure ratios are adhered to throughout the nursery. Staff carefully observe and supervise babies and children as they play and explore.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points. Children are independent and motivated learners. They learn to listen well to stories and follow instructions. Children learn to understand and use mathematical language associated with shape and number. Babies demonstrate their delight as they participate in songs and rhymes, and join in with the actions to develop their communication. Children are developing key skills that will assist them as they move to the next stage in their learning or on to school.
