This provision is good

 The manager and several of her staff are well qualified. The management team continually identifies strengths and areas to develop. They use a wide range of ideas to gain children's and parents' views in the process.  Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities are extremely well supported. Their needs are quickly identified so that additional support and advice are effectively implemented. This helps to ensure that all children are making good progress according to their individual abilities.  Staff working with older children are very experienced and skilfully enhance their learning. They routinely help to extend children's thoughts and ideas during their play.  There is a very close partnership with parents and other professionals involved in children's lives. Parents speak very positively about the nursery. They are provided with a wealth of information about various aspects of children's care and how to support

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The provider implements robust recruitment procedures to check that staff are suitable for their roles. Leaders and staff have a good understanding of child protection issues and the procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare or safety. Staff complete thorough risk assessments. They receive regular supervision meetings and they continually review each other's practice to extend their skills. Staff share information from regular training. This has increased staff's understanding about how different children like to learn and has had a positive impact on children's imaginative play. Staff regularly observe and assess children's progress and identify and quickly address any gaps in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children take part in a balance of child-initiated and adult-led play. Babies enjoy watching staff blowing bubbles and younger toddlers develop their confidence and persevere as they join in with games, such as building towers. They clap with excitement when they knock these over and eagerly start to build it again. Staff effectively help to extend younger children's communication skills. For example, they confidently join in with singing songs and popular nursery rhymes. Staff help children who speak English as an additional language to make connections in their learning. For instance, some staff are multilingual, they use children's home languages and signs to explain what needs to be done. Older children help themselves to resources set out for them. They successfully use a variety of tools, such as scissors, knives and paintbrushes. Skilled questioning from staff helps children to extend their thoughts and ideas.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The manager and staff place a high emphasis on ensuring children feel emotionally secure. For example, they plan effectively for children's transitions from home, moves within the nursery and their eventual move to school. The key-person system is effective and children have good relationships with staff. Children are well behaved. They are very caring towards each other and enjoy specific responsibilities, such as being the helper of the day. Older children take part in purposeful activities to help raise awareness of how to keep themselves safe. For example, they assist staff in checking that all areas are safe and they enjoy regular opportunities to exercise and be in the fresh air. Staff and children follow good hygiene routines and nutritious meals are prepared on the premises.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children are successfully gaining skills they need to move on to the next stage of their learning, such as school. Older children know the sounds of letters, listen attentively and confidently speak to visitors. They eagerly join in with group games, share books with each other and several children are able to write their names. They work together to resolve problems and know how to do simple calculations. Younger children have opportunities to develop their physical skills, such as climbing and crawling.
