p.1

This provision is good

 The manager and staff provide a high-quality learning environment. Children settle happily when they arrive and benefit from a broad variety of activities.  The manager is ambitious and expertly evaluates and checks the provision to help identify areas to develop, to drive improvements towards a consistently excellent level.  Staff are good role models. Children are kind to each other and learn to share and take turns. Staff use positive behaviour management strategies to acknowledge children's achievements and so children develop a good sense of self-esteem.  Children develop good relationships with caring staff. Babies hold out their arms and staff give them a cuddle before supporting them to engage in activities.  There are positive relationships with parents. Staff give parents a comprehensive daily account of their children's time at the nursery. Parents receive regular information about their children's progress through regular meetings.

This provision is good

 Partnership working is strong. Links with the local authority and external childcare professionals are good. Good practice is exchanged with several local providers.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Managers do not focus monitoring sharply enough on raising the quality of teaching to an exceptional level, particularly for the younger children.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children as they played and took part in daily routines.  The inspector spoke with children, staff and the managers at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector looked at children's profiles, planning documentation, evidence of the suitability of staff working in the setting and a wide range of other documents, including policies and procedures.  The inspector took account of the views of the parents spoken to on the day of the inspection.  The inspector carried out a joint observation with a manager.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager evaluates the setting well and has identified areas for further development. For example, she plans to further improve the outdoor environment to benefit children who prefer to learn outside. The manager provides regular supervision and training opportunities to help staff improve their teaching skills. For example, staff have attended training to help support children's early literacy skills. The manager and staff assess the nursery environment for any potential hazards and maintain a safe and clean environment. This helps to ensure children's health and safety. Safeguarding is effective. Staff know how to identify any concerns about a child's welfare and are alert to the signs that a child may be at risk of extreme views and behaviours. Safe recruitment and checks ensure all staff are suitably qualified for their roles and responsibilities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

All staff demonstrate a good knowledge of how children learn. Overall, they use assessment well to establish what children know and need to learn next, which informs their planning. Children are confident and inquisitive and freely explore the interesting learning environment. Younger children and babies enjoy a variety of sensory, open-ended experiences which promote their curiosity to explore. Older children are interested in the group activities led by staff. They confidently join in with group discussions. For example, together with staff the children create their own story with illustrations drawn on a large piece of paper.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The staff encourage healthy eating and children take part in interesting activities where they learn and talk about healthy foods. For instance, they use real fruit and vegetables as they play. The relationships between children and staff are good. Children show that they feel happy and content. Babies in particular have very strong relationships with the staff. Children have a good range of experiences to develop their interest in the world around them. They learn to value and respect their own and other people's similarities and differences. For example, they learn various rhymes in different languages and use instruments from around the world. Children are supported to become independent. For instance, staff reinforce the safety rules as younger children use the stairs. As a result, the older children are able to confidently use the stairs independently using the low handrail.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points and develop the key skills to prepare them well for their future learning. They take turns and play cooperatively. Older children recognise letters and count confidently. Younger children develop good concentration and use their imaginations, for example, as they explore foam and bathe the 'babies'.
