This provision is good

 Staff establish effective partnerships with other professionals to support children's ongoing learning and development. This is especially beneficial in supporting children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities to make good progress.  Staff make good use of the outdoor learning environment. Children enjoy developing their imaginations, physical skills and knowledge and understanding of the world around them. Children develop the skills they need in readiness for their move to school.  Staff are good role models and recognise the uniqueness of every child in their care. Children develop highly trusting relationships with staff. This successfully helps to support children's good behaviour and emotional well-being.  Effective and flexible settling-in procedures allow staff to meet the needs of all children. Children develop secure emotional attachments to the staff. These close bonds

contribute to children's confidence and self-esteem.  The nursery cook provides nutritious, home-cooked meals and skilfully meet the needs of children with special dietary requirements.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, staff do not make precise use of assessments to plan as effectively as possible for the next steps in children's learning.  Staff do not make the best use of opportunities for all parents to contribute in-depth information about what their children already know and can do when they first start at the nursery.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are knowledgeable about the procedures to follow if they are concerned about a child in their care. They work closely with agencies and other professionals and effective systems for communication are in place. All staff are qualified in paediatric first aid. Staff are deployed successfully to ensure all children are supervised and kept safe. They complete daily risk assessments to ensure that the setting is safe for children. Robust recruitment and induction procedures are implemented and help to ensure that staff are carefully checked and vetted. The setting employs a team of qualified and experienced staff who are provided with ongoing training opportunities which, overall, support them to deliver high-quality learning experiences for children. Parents are very complimentary and happy with the service provided for their children by the motivated and caring staff.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The environment is spacious and well resourced. Children freely choose what they want to do throughout the day. Staff know the children well. They regularly observe and assess children's development. Overall, this helps them to plan activities and experiences to support children's next steps. Staff help children to be imaginative in their play. For example, children delight in building an obstacle course to help them get from one end of the garden to the other end without touching the ground with their feet. Children sing songs and listen attentively to stories. They are given time to concentrate on activities and develop skills, such as early writing skills. Staff effectively support children who speak English as an additional language. They learn key phrases in children's home language to meet their needs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children build good relationships and develop a close bond with their key person. Staff support children's well-being and confidence with consistent and purposeful praise and guidance. Children show kindness to their peers. Staff have developed appropriate rules which promote good behaviour, respect and tolerance across all the varying age ranges in the nursery. Children play with resources which help to positively teach them about similarities and differences. This contributes to the smooth settling-in and transition experiences that support children's emotional well-being. Staff successfully help children to develop their social skills and gain confidence in their own abilities. Children learn to make their own decisions and choices. For example, they independently wipe their own noses, wash their hands and feed themselves at mealtimes.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Additional funding is used effectively to ensure children make good progress in relation to their individual starting points and capabilities. Babies find their voices as they crawl, climb and explore. Young children enjoy sharing books. Older children gain good literacy and mathematical skills as they learn to write their names, count and recognise shapes.
