This provision is good

 Children are enthusiastic and independent learners. Staff measure children's progress accurately and build on their learning well. All children learn good skills which prepare them well for the next stages in their learning.  Staff set clear boundaries for children. They remind them to walk indoors and support them to take turns, share and use kind hands. This helps children to behave well. Staff offer praise for children's efforts, helping to boost their self-confidence effectively.  Staff arrange the environment well and motivate children's interests. This helps to ignite their curiosity and imaginative play. The key-person system is effective. All children develop close bonds with nurturing staff who know them well. This contributes towards their settling, high levels of self-esteem and strong emotional security.  Staff exchange valuable information with parents about children's achievements and

guide them effectively in supporting their children's learning at home.  Experienced leaders have a clear and accurate view of the nursery strengths. They seek feedback from staff, parents and children to identify areas for further development.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The systems in place for checking staff's performance and evaluating and monitoring their practice, do not focus enough on raising the quality of teaching and extending children's experiences even further.  Minimise distractions during planned adult-led activities to help all children fully engage in their learning and make the best possible progress.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are very aware of the possible signs that may indicate a child is at risk of harm. Leaders ensure that all staff know what steps to take should they have a concern. The manager constantly maintains staff-to-child ratios and staff closely supervise children. For example, when using the outdoor area. This helps to promote children's welfare and keep them safe. The manager monitors the progress of individuals and groups of children well. This helps them to identify any gaps in children's development and close them quickly. Procedures for staff recruitment, induction and ongoing management induction for new leaders is good. Staff receive ongoing support though regular supervision meetings and the manager supports staff well to gain relevant qualifications. The manager and staff work closely with other early years professionals, local schools and the local community to share ideas. This helps to provide consistency for

children's care needs and individual support and aids transitions, for example, to school.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children develop good relationships and play well together. They have fun and invite staff and visitors to join in with role play. Older children correctly use words, such as 'prescription' and 'the chemist'. This builds on their vocabulary successfully. Children enjoy mark making using chalkboards and are keen to demonstrate they can write their name on their work. This promotes their literacy skills. Children competently use technological equipment, they work through games, matching images and relish talking about their successes, as older children proudly help younger children. Staff reward children with stickers and high praise. This motivates children to be kind and show consideration to others.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children show they feel secure with the caring staff, such as when they go to them for cuddles. Staff help children to understand that they need to say sorry if they hurt another child. This supports children's understanding of behavioural expectations. Children develop their physical skills well and benefit from regular sessions of outdoor play each day. They learn to use a range of wheeled toys and enjoy balancing on outdoor items, such as tyres. Staff reinforce positive hygiene routines. They teach children about healthy eating and offer advice for parents on the content of packed lunchboxes.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop good skills that help them to be ready for the move on to school. They practise their good handling skills in various ways, explore their senses and make marks using different techniques. Children listen carefully and follow instructions well. For example, they correctly identify shapes and colours in a matching game and have good self-esteem. Children are confident communicators and interact very well with staff, children and visitors. They make good progress from their starting point, including those in receipt of funding and children who speak English as an additional language.
