This provision is good

 Leaders implement effective ways to review weaknesses and maintain their good practice. Staff attend enhanced training courses and implement what they learn in practice. For example, they plan physical activities, which provide enriched opportunities for children to develop their early writing skills. Children make good rates of progress.  Partnerships with parents are good. Staff and parents share ideas and plan activities, which further support children's learning and development. Staff provide a varied range of activities, resources and opportunities for children to continue their learning at home.  Children develop positive relationships with staff. Staff provide a nurturing environment where children feel safe and welcome. Children are happy and settled.  Staff plan safe and stimulating activities for children to access independently. This helps to prepare children for their next stages of learning, particularly those children

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not fully involve children in transition periods throughout the day. On some occasions, children become distracted and less engaged.  The manager and staff provide children with healthy options at mealtimes. However, they do not always work as closely as they could with parents, to help children receive more consistently positive messages about eating healthily.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of safeguarding and child protection procedures. Senior staff complete enhanced training and use this to improve the quality of their policies and procedures. This helps to keep children safe. Leaders have robust recruitment and vetting procedures. This helps to ensure only suitable people have access to children. Leaders implement effective systems, which easily identify emerging weaknesses in children's learning, including individual and groups of children. They use robust systems to reflect on the quality of teaching. For example, leaders complete practice observations and conduct regular staff supervisions.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The well-qualified staff have a good understanding of how children learn. They use this knowledge to plan activities and identify what children need to learn next. They complete accurate observations and assessments, which help to ensure children receive the individual support they need for their next stages of development. Staff support children who speak additional languages well. For example, they sing songs and use key words using children's home languages. Staff provide children with meals that represent different nationalities. They talk to children about the new foods they taste and raise an awareness of the different places food comes from. This helps children to develop a good understanding of differences between cultures and other people within their community.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff ensure children have the individual support they need when settling at nursery. They gather information from parents about what their children know and can already do. This helps children to form secure attachments with key members of staff and helps them to feel safe and secure. Staff skilfully support children to follow daily routines, relative to their age and capabilities. Children cooperate and follow instructions well. They wait patiently, share and take turns during group activities. Overall, children's behaviour is good.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop their independence from an early age. They listen well and carefully follow instructions. Children have good levels of confidence and are eager to share their ideas with others. Children delight in their personal achievements and have good levels of self-esteem. Younger children engage in their environment very well. Toddlers learn to develop good physical skills, such as climbing up and down stairs and grasping large paintbrushes. Older children learn to recognise their names and participate in activities, which help to develop their early writing skills. They learn numbers have value and begin to represent number symbols in the marks they make. Children learn a good range of skills, which prepares them well for their eventual move to school.
