p.1

This provision is good

 Children enjoy their time in this warm and welcoming setting. Staff place a strong focus on supporting children's social and emotional skills. Children behave well. They learn good manners, share resources and take turns.  The manager monitors and evaluates the quality of the provision effectively and the team considers the views of staff, children and families to evaluate and reflect on the service provided.  Children's communication and language development are supported very well. Children speak confidently with staff, visitors and each other.  Partnerships with parents are effective in meeting children's needs. Families are complimentary about the nursery and comment that the setting is welcoming, and all staff are supportive.  Staff plan a good range of activities which encourages children's creativity and physical development. Children progress well and confidently explore activities independently.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Although leaders monitor children's assessments well, the planning for next steps in learning is not as precise and as sharply focused for individual children.  Management does not fully use effective systems to enable staff to reflect on their skills and improve their good teaching practice to a higher level.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of their responsibilities with regard to protecting children from abuse and neglect. The manager regularly reviews policies and procedures, and staff implement these well in practice. Staff work effectively with local schools. For example, they have developed a secure collection system with school staff to keep children safe. The manager monitors the development of individual children and identifies any gaps in learning quickly. Staff work well with other professionals and share information about children's learning and development to promote a united approach to supporting children to reach their potential. The manager keeps up to date with current guidance and networks with other nurseries to share good practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good understanding of how children learn and develop. They know what children can do and what they need to learn next, and complete regular observations and assessments for all children. Staff subtly introduce early literacy and mathematics in a variety of enjoyable activities. For example, children dance and bang sticks to the music, fill and empty containers and take turns. Children enjoy focused reading activities and knew what came next in their favourite story. Staff provide opportunities for older children to learn about their local community and how to adapt to different social situations. Staff support children to explore a range of festivals and learn about diversity.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

An effective key-person system helps staff to encourage children to build a sense of belonging as they explore their surroundings. Children's behaviour is good, they respond well to the daily routine and know what to expect and when. Children are eager and excited to join in and try new things. Key persons accompany their key children as they go to the school concert. This is one way of supporting the transition to school. Healthy lifestyles are promoted well, and children benefit from nutritious meals and snacks. Staff encourage children to be considerate of others and say 'please' and 'thank you'. Children gain independence through everyday activities and confidently manage their own needs.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children become confident, curious and independent learners. Children show good listening and attention skills in activities which help to them prepare for school. They develop confidence to explore their own ideas and the perseverance to keep trying if they do not succeed the first time. Children have a wide vocabulary and initiate or join in conversations with confidence. Children gain all of the essential skills to help prepare them for the next stages of their education.
