p.1

This provision is good

Staff provide a wide range of stimulating activities that promotes children's learning. Children's independence is actively encouraged and supported throughout the setting.  The manager ensures that all staff have a strong understanding of how to keep children safe.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Although the children's progress is effectively tracked by staff and they know where children are in their learning, staff are less confident in using the current system to identify any possible gaps in the children's learning and development.  There is a process in place to manage the performance of staff, although best use is not made of this to drive improvement in staff to an even higher level.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager uses robust safer recruitment procedures and offers continual support to all staff in managing any safeguarding issues, helping to keep children safe. Staff have a good knowledge of the wider aspects of safeguarding, such as recognising where children are at risk of harm. The manager oversees the curriculum well and ensures that staff use it to provide a range of exciting and stimulating experiences for the children. The manager continually reflects on the learning environment and works with staff to make changes that promote children's learning and incorporate their interests. Staff have good relationships with the local schools, sharing children's progress and attending meetings to help with the smooth transition from nursery to Reception.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The highly qualified staff team has high expectations of the children and provides activities designed to extend children's learning. All staff have a strong understanding of how to promote learning in early years children. Activities are adapted to meet the needs of the children and incorporate what they have previously learned. For example, at lunchtime, staff remind the children of the story of 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' and why he needed to eat healthy food. Staff are clear about what their key child's next steps should be and are able to adapt activities to meet the child's individual needs. Children especially enjoy the role-play activity of caring for their 'babies'. The manager has created strong partnerships with parents, meaning that parents are fully involved in their child's learning and development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children in becoming independent learners and managing their own personal needs. For example, babies were shown how to roll their own sleeves before putting on aprons to explore the messy play. Staff work closely with each other to make sure that transitions in the nursery are well managed so that all children are well prepared for the next stages in their learning. Children behave very well in the setting. They are respectful and celebrate each other's differences. Staff continually demonstrate calm, kind and friendly behaviour at all times.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and show they are thoroughly motivated learners who make good progress from their starting points. Children who speak English as an additional language make equally good progress because staff have high expectations for what all children can achieve. Children are enthusiastically involved at story time and enjoy exploring activities, such as messy play, with which the babies show especially great enjoyment. The older children are developing the necessary skills for the next steps in their learning, such as starting school.
