This provision is good

 The manager has enhanced her self-evaluation to identify and make targeted improvements to staff practice. She has worked effectively with other professionals to introduce new procedures to help staff keep children safe in the nursery.  Staff gather detailed information from parents about what their children know and can do when they join the nursery. Incorporating information from their detailed observations, staff quickly identify children who may need additional support. This particularly supports children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities. Staff improve children's outcomes well.  The effective key-person system supports children's emotional well-being. Children are secure in their relationships with staff and confidently turn to them for help, if needed.  Staff are good role models for the children in their care. They are kind, warm and caring. Children are happy and settled. All children make good progress from their

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Although staff identify what children need to learn next, planning at times is not as focused as possible on the individual learning and development of each child or identified goals.  Staff do not offer the best possible support for children to develop an interest in early reading or to explore reading materials.

She discussed self-evaluation with the manager.  The inspector talked with staff, parents and children to gather their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager has taken significant steps since the last inspection to ensure that staff are confident in their understanding of the signs and symptoms which may give cause for concern about a child's welfare. In particular, all staff are now clear about the steps to take if an allegation is made against another member of staff. They have completed training updates about how to identify any children who may be at risk of exposure to extreme ideas or behaviours. Staff now consistently and accurately record the names of children who attend the nursery and the times that they arrive at, and leave, the premises. The manager supports staff's professional development, for instance, through regular supervision and training.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide interesting and stimulating exploratory activities. Children delight in experimenting with foam and paint. For example, they make patterns using the wheels of different vehicles and excitedly make prints using their hands and arms. Staff support children's physical development well. Children climb, cycle and squeal with delight as they chase bubbles. Staff use the skills and knowledge gained through their training to put effective strategies in place to enhance children's learning experiences. For instance, they use signs and symbols to support children's emerging communication and language skills. Children learn about the natural world, for instance, as they grow vegetables and talk about mini-beasts they find outside.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children willingly carry out simple acts of self-care, for example, as they blow their noses and then put the tissues in the bin. They eagerly participate in 'tidy time' and look after their resources and environment. Children learn about how to keep themselves safe and well. Forming good bonds and friendships, children play happily together. They behave well. Staff provide children with a variety of opportunities to learn about their local area and community, for instance, as they visit local shops and the library. Children learn about people who help them. For example, they receive regular visits from the local police.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and self-motivated learners. They spontaneously use their developing writing skills as they 'do work' and their mathematical learning to describe the shapes they are drawing. Children decide about the activities they want to take part in and happily direct their own learning. They use their imaginations as they play doctors and their good social skills as they design and build train tracks together. They are prepared well for the next stage of their leaning, including school.
