This provision is good

 Well-qualified staff provide children with a range of exciting activities and experiences. Staff clearly understand how children learn and develop. They get actively involved with children's play. This helps to extend their learning and enjoyment.  The manager has effective procedures in place to monitor children's progress. The manager and staff use this information well to ensure they identify and act upon any gaps in children's learning.  Staff promote children's emotional well-being effectively. Children are confident, self- assured and form good bonds with staff. Children thoroughly enjoy the time they spend at this welcoming and friendly nursery.  Leaders and managers are ambitious about providing good-quality care and learning experiences for all children. They seek and act upon the views of children, parents and staff to help identify further ways to build on the already good practice.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasions, staff do not give children enough time to stay engaged or join in with an activity that interests them.  Staff do not place enough emphasis on ensuring babies have sufficient opportunities to extend their play experiences outdoors.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff are well trained in child protection and understand the procedure to report any concerns about a child's welfare to relevant agencies. Staff supervise children well. They maintain a safe environment for children, using daily risk assessments to help identify any potential hazards. Staff are supported to understand their roles and responsibilities through robust induction procedures and regular supervisory meetings. Staff have good opportunities to access further training. This helps to build on staff's good knowledge and improve the outcomes for children. Partnerships with parents are strong. Parents are very complimentary about the nursery and the support they receive. Staff work especially well with other professionals involved in children's care. They use targeted plans to ensure children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities and those speak English as an

additional language receive the support they need.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff get to know the children very well. They do this by gathering important information about children's current interests when they first start at the nursery. They build on this with their own observations and assessments of their learning and achievements. This enables staff to plan for children's individual needs. Staff skilfully support children's emerging language skills. Staff working with babies encourage them to make sounds and reinforce their attempts at new words. Older children are encouraged to make links with letters and the sounds they make. Children's mathematical understanding is developing well. They confidently use weighing scales and eagerly estimate, which items will be lighter or heavier. Staff use plenty of praise and encouragement and this promotes children's 'have-a-go' attitude to learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's behaviour is good. Staff are effective role models and provide children with clear and appropriate boundaries. Children learn the importance of sharing and being kind to each other. Staff allow older children to develop their independence when using the toilet, while still ensuring that they are within hearing distance should they need assistance. Younger babies are cared for according to parents' wishes. Staff adhere to routines from home to ensure babies feel emotionally secure in their care. They promote children's good health effectively. Staff provide children with healthy and nutritious meals and snacks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who receive additional funding, make good progress relative to their starting points. Children gain the key skills needed for the next stage of their learning, including their eventual move on to school. Children develop their imaginations well, for example, they pretend to take their car to the garage to fill up with fuel and to go through the car wash. Babies enjoy joining in with action songs and rhymes.
