This provision is good

 The nursery is led and managed well. The manager is ambitious and makes good use of connections with local community groups and other settings to reflect on and develop nursery practice. This helps to raise outcomes for children and families.  Children enjoy their time at nursery and show that they feel safe and secure.  Staff work in partnership with parents to complete important assessments of children's progress on entry. Staff help parents support their child's continued learning at home.  Children develop a very good understanding of the world through a variety of regular trips, such as to a wildlife park, a local care home for older people and a local food bank. Older children learn about the importance of recycling on the environment.  Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities are given good support. Staff work collaboratively with all involved in their care and learning.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff working with two-year-old children do not use their assessment systems as well as possible to precisely monitor children's progress to ensure any gaps in learning are closing rapidly.  Plans to support children who speak English as an additional language are not fully tested out or embedded. Staff do not consistently provide opportunities for them to use or hear their home language during their play.  Findings from evaluation of staff's practice are not consistently used as effectively as possible to enhance their teaching skills to the highest level.

additional funding well to improve outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, staff make accurate assessments of each child's learning and plan precisely to meet their individual needs. They focus on developing the key skills babies need. For example, they help babies to develop the large muscles needed for crawling and walking. Staff introduce numbers and shapes to help children with their understanding of mathematical concepts. Babies and young children frequently access books from the wide range available to them. Older children are eager to engage in stories when staff read to them and they demonstrate good listening skills. They show a keen interest in developing their literacy skills. Children independently access writing materials to support their early writing skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff ensure that children settle happily into the nursery and form strong bonds with all of the staff team. They work hard to create a relaxed and happy environment for children where they learn to be motivated and independent learners. Children are encouraged to collect and put on their own shoes and coats for outdoor play. All children, including older babies, are encouraged to feed themselves. Mealtimes are sociable occasions and children enjoy healthy, home-cooked food. Special dietary requirements are provided for well. Children behave well. They receive lots of praise and recognition for their efforts and achievements, which successfully promotes their self-esteem and emotional well-being. Children benefit from access to daily outdoor activities where they enjoy exploring the environment and have space for energetic play.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain good skills in preparation for their future learning and the move to school. They develop good social skills, such as how to play cooperatively. Children learn to play imaginatively and to be curious and inquisitive learners. They learn to respect other children's different backgrounds.
