It is not yet outstanding because:

 While staff plan and provide a wide variety of learning opportunities, at times they do not give children enough opportunity to follow their own ideas.  Staff do not consistently give children enough notice of changes in the routine, such as at snack time, to enable them to complete their activity.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Managers and staff are knowledgeable of all aspects of child protection, including the 'Prevent' duty legislation. They are confident to report any concerns they might have in relation to children in their care. Robust recruitment and effective monitoring of staff's performance are established. Effective procedures are in place to ensure professional development opportunities are identified and accessed. This enables staff to continually build their knowledge and skills. Staff seek the views and opinions of parents. Which they use to inform the self-evaluation process and identify ways to further improve the service. For example, through listening to parents, they have enhanced the outdoor play area.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know children well. They observe children, assess their abilities and plan effectively for their future learning needs. Staff work closely with parents and share ideas for continuing their child's learning at home. Children enjoy being creative. They make marks using paints and add different dimensions to their art. For example, they use additional resources, such as different-sized bricks and brushes. Staff support children's language and communication skills well. They ask questions to encourage children's speaking skills, and their recall and thought processes. Younger children enjoy singing and excitedly engage in actions songs. They move around the room in different ways, such as hopping, and pretend to be different animals. Children's imagination is supported well. They enjoy preparing pretend food. They use wooden play cutlery to ‘chop’ play fruit and ‘pour’ pretend drinks, actively involving staff in their play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are knowledgeable about children's individual care needs and routines, and meet them well throughout the day. Children bring packed lunches to the nursery or are able to have meals provided by an external company on a daily basis. They enjoy healthy snacks and drinks of water and milk during the day. Staff clean food preparation areas and cleanliness in the nursery is good. Children enjoy spending time outside each day being physically active. They confidently move around the garden on wheeled toys. Children learn to manoeuvre safely around obstacles and each other. Children learn about the community and enjoy walks in the local area.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their individual starting points. They develop the skills for future learning in readiness for the move to school. Children become confident individuals. They enjoy many opportunities to make marks. Older children learn to recognise letters and independently write their names. They recognise shapes in the environment and during activities. Children enthusiastically count to 10 and above. They develop independence and take care of their personal routines.
