This provision is good

 Teaching is responsive to children's learning needs and interests, overall. This helps to encourage children's engagement in activities and contributes to their good progress.  Managers closely monitor all aspects of their provision and are committed to continuous improvement. They seek the views of staff, parents, children and other professionals and use their findings to identify ways to develop their already good practice.  The key-person system is very effective. Children benefit from consistent support for their learning and care practices that are tailored to their individual needs. They are happy, confident learners.  All children make good progress in all areas of learning. Staff observe them at play and identify what each child needs to learn next. They plan carefully to help children to build on what they already know and can do.  Parents are very pleased with the nursery provision and feel very involved in their

child's care and learning. They contribute to assessments and welcome ideas from staff about how to support their child's progress at home.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Managers do not always make the best possible use of information from assessments to help some groups of children to make even better progress in their learning.  Staff do not always share enough detailed information about children's learning and progress with other settings that they attend.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Staff are well qualified and the arrangements to support and supervise them are effective. Managers review staff practice regularly and consider the impact on children's learning and the progress they make. They identify priorities for staff's ongoing professional development that help to enhance the quality of teaching. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of issues that may affect a child's welfare and know what to do if they have a concern. Partnerships with other professionals, such as health visitors, help to provide a consistent approach to supporting children's care, learning and development, overall. For example, staff work with them to identify children who may need extra support and share ways to help children make faster progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff interactions with children are very skilful. They encourage children to think, describe and solve problems during play. They follow children's lead during activities and extend their learning effectively. Staff use their secure knowledge of children's abilities and preferences to provide effective and appealing activities that provide an appropriate level of challenge. Activities are well-paced, for example, staff give children lots of time to participate in story time. They ask questions about the characters and predict what might happen next. Babies demonstrate high levels of curiosity. For example, they show a great interest as they watch events from the window. Children have plenty of opportunities to investigate and explore during play and they enjoy digging in mud outdoors. They develop good imaginative skills as they draw treasure maps and create stories about who may search for treasure and what they might find.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a welcoming, inclusive environment where every individual is valued. They are positive role models who teach children to be tolerant and understanding of others. Children learn to consider one another's feelings and their behaviour is good. Children show a good understanding of healthy lifestyles. For example, they discuss the importance of washing their hands and talk about how healthy food makes them grow big and strong. They benefit from plenty of fresh air and exercise which contributes to their good physical health and well-being. Children develop strong bonds with attentive staff who know them well. They receive plenty of praise that contributes to their high levels of self-esteem. They settle quickly into the nursery and develop a sense of belonging.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children achieve the levels of development typical for their age and some exceed this. Those who need extra support catch up in their learning and are ready for school. Children develop good listening and attention skills. They readily join in with activities and are enthusiastic. They develop good skills in literacy and mathematics that give them a secure foundation for later learning.
