This provision is good

 The manager regularly reviews children's progress. She works closely with staff and other professionals to identify specific and targeted learning needs. The manager liaises with other professionals and parents to accurately identify what children need to learn next. This helps to swiftly address emerging weaknesses in learning.  Children's emotional well-being is fully promoted. Staff recognise children's individual needs. They tailor good behaviour management strategies that help children to manage their own feelings and behaviour. Children respond very well to staff. This demonstrates that children have good relationships with the adults who care for them.  Staff provide good opportunities for children to take part in physical activities. Children confidently demonstrate good coordination and balancing skills as they learn to balance on pieces of equipment. Staff offer further support and encouragement.

This provision is good

 Partnerships with parents are strong. Staff provide ways for parents to continue their child's learning at home. Parents complete their own observations of events and activities at home. This helps to provide a consistent approach to children's learning.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The manager has not implemented rigorous ways to review the overall quality of teaching that help to improve children's outcomes to the highest level.  The manager has not implemented strong partnerships with all settings involved in a child's care that help to provide a consistent approach to children's individual needs.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are well trained and confident in safeguarding procedures. The manager uses robust recruitment and vetting procedures to help ensure the suitability of staff. She completes regular risk assessments that help to identify potential hazards in the environment. Access to the setting is stringently monitored and secure at all times. The manager demonstrates strong leadership and has effective systems in place which help to identify and evaluate the quality of provision. She uses these to make ongoing improvements to the setting. Overall, this has a positive impact on improving children's learning and development. The manager has ambitious plans to expand the nursery to offer additional childcare for children and families within the community.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The highly qualified staff understand how to promote children's learning and development. They record children's progress accurately and complete regular assessments. This includes the progress check for children aged between two and three years. Staff use assessments to effectively plan next steps in children's learning. Children develop good imaginative skills. For example, they pretend to be make lunch during role play games and interact excitedly with staff. Children are provided with a large range of resources which reflect differences in people and communities. This helps to promote children's understanding of their wider world.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and well settled. They enter confidently and delight as they are greeted by staff. Staff and parents exchange important information as children are dropped off. This helps staff to continuously support children's ongoing needs. Staff create a welcoming environment where children can express themselves. They promote healthy eating and provide information for parents about healthy options for children during mealtimes. Staff support children to develop their independence and good self-care skills. For example, children are encouraged to independently wash their hands before mealtimes and prepare their own breakfast and snack.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children receive the individual support they need. They make good rates of progress and are well prepared for their next stages of learning, including their move to school. Children listen carefully and follow instructions as they engage in daily routines. They play alongside others, share, take turns, and confidently negotiate their own ideas with others. Children begin to recognise their own name as they complete a self-registration. They develop their listening skills as they play outdoor communication games and begin to distinguish between the different sounds they hear in the environment.
