p.1

This provision requires improvement. It is not yet good because:

 The provider lacks a secure knowledge of the requirement to notify Ofsted of relevant changes, particularly those in relation to their business status. They were unaware of their responsibility to do so.  Managers do not monitor the curriculum or children's progress as carefully as possible. Staff do not consistently promote the attainment of different groups of children at the very highest level.  Staff do not make the best use of the outdoor provision to provide rich and varied learning opportunities. Children who prefer to learn outside do not reach their full potential.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Managers have a clear understanding of their responsibility to safeguard children. The majority of staff are well qualified. They effectively implement a range of policies, records and documents that helps to support their safeguarding practices.  Staff are friendly and attentive. They get to know children well from the outset and provide them with the sensitive support they need to settle in. Children are content, happy and relaxed attending.  Overall, staff are good teachers. They plan and provide children with a range of activities and experiences, particularly inside, that helps to promote different aspects of their learning. Children make good progress in their development.  Partnerships with parents are strong. Staff establish a two-way flow of information about children's care and learning. This helps to promote good continuity between the setting and home.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Recently the provider has changed the status of the organisation from a committee to a limited company. However, they have failed to notify Ofsted and follow the correct processes to implement this change. Nevertheless, this error does not have a significant impact on the children. Managers supervise staff and ensure they benefit from plenty of opportunities to upskill. Overall, this has a positive impact on the quality of care and education they provide. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The nursery environment is clean, tidy and secure. Managers and staff have a sound understanding of safeguarding legislation and child protection issues. They can identify different indicators of abuse or neglect, and know how to protect children in the event of any concerns. Self- evaluation and monitoring are continually developing. Managers set targets for the future and aspire to improve.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The environment is bright, welcoming and resourced well, particularly indoors. Staff make accurate assessments of children's learning. They provide stimulating and challenging activities that meet their learning needs. For example, children delight in exploring and investigating different materials. Babies explore junk modelling, toddlers enjoy play with water and pre-school children mix colours in paint. Staff show them how to use resources and add explanations to their learning. Managers have a good overview of the progress individual children make. The nursery special educational needs coordinator is knowledgeable. Children requiring additional help benefit from what they need to begin to catch up. This helps to ensure no child falls behind.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff teach children about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. For example, they help children adopt good cleanliness regimes. Staff encourage a nutritious diet and talk to children about the benefits of eating a variety of foods. Staff promote exercise and children enjoy physical activities, such as chasing games, bat and ball, negotiating obstacles and using climbing equipment. Staff promote being kind, polite, courteous and fair. They teach children to help one another and work together. Staff find out about children's cultures, religions and languages. They help children to learn about different festivities. For example, pre-school children are currently exploring the celebration of Chinese New Year.

p.4

Outcomes for children are good

Overall, children make good progress in their learning, including those in receipt of funded education. Children are confident and independent. They are curious, inquisitive and motivated to know more. Children are learning to manage their own feelings and behaviours. They listen to adults and follow instructions. Children are developing good skills in communication, language and literacy. They can describe their thoughts and ideas. Children like sharing stories and looking at books. They enjoy singing familiar songs. They also relish opportunities to use paint, pencils and crayons to make marks.
