This provision is good

 Children make good progress from their starting points, including children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities. Staff use children's interests to support and extend their learning and development and provide good challenge.  Staff promote children's learning outdoors very effectively. They provide numerous resources that children explore and use in different and imaginative ways. For example, children thoroughly enjoy jumping up and down, wearing waterproof boots, in large trays they fill with water and soapy bubbles.  Staff support children to develop good social skills. For instance, children offer to help others use scissors to cut paper and remind them that they need to say 'yes please'. Children are well behaved, play together cooperatively and develop close friendships. They are motivated and enthusiastic learners.  Since registration, leaders and managers have worked closely with staff to evaluate and

improve teaching practice and children's independence. They have introduced a much more flexible approach to activity planning to support children to make choices and decisions. Children confidently tell staff when they want to play indoors or outdoors.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Managers do not consistently monitor and evaluate teaching practice to coach all staff to continually improve their good teaching practice.  Sometimes, staff miss opportunities to extend children's emerging pre-writing skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of child protection procedures. They take appropriate action to safeguard children's welfare. Since registration, all staff have received training. Overall, staff have improved their interaction with the children and their ability to manage children's behaviour more effectively. Last year, leaders and managers significantly changed the organisation of the nursery. The older children now have more space to play. Most of the resources have been replaced with numerous natural and real-life items that inspire children to explore. Managers regularly check children's progress to identify and reduce any gaps in their development. They have recently obtained additional resources to support children's mathematical development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff support children who have SEN and children learning English as an additional language well. They work closely with parents and other agencies to promote continuity in children's learning. Staff plan a wide range of interesting activities, which they use to extend children's learning. For instance, they help children to create patterns, learn about colors and make discoveries while tie-dying t-shirts. Staff teach children how to use wool to tie knots and join wood to make photograph frames. They successfully build all children's confidence to talk and involve others in their play, particularly outdoors. Children often use their imagination and express themselves creatively. For instance, they play the piano and dance energetically to popular music.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide children with positive role models. They speak to children kindly and respectfully. Children are happy to be at the nursery. Staff use the key-person system effectively to meet children's individual emotional and care needs. They work closely with parents to help children settle and feel secure. Staff promote all children's awareness of differences in society. For instance, they provide opportunities for children to taste food from different countries. Staff promote children's good health effectively. Children play actively outdoors every day. They develop good physical skills. For instance, they confidently climb ladders to reach a small raised playhouse, balance along raised benches and jump between low-level tree trunks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the skills they need for starting school. They concentrate well. For example, during 'show and tell' activities. Children independently put on wet-weather clothing and waterproof boots before playing outdoors. They learn to keep themselves safe, for instance, while climbing trees. They learn to use tools, such as vegetable peelers, to whittle sticks and saws to cut wood during outings to a forest.
