This provision is good

 Children are sociable and enjoy playing alongside one another during games. Staff are good role models and provide consistent messages to children.  Partnerships with parents are good. Staff share information about children's progress regularly and encourage parents to continue their child's learning at home.  All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, make good progress. Staff support their learning effectively and capture their interests well.  There are effective arrangements to supervise children and ensure the safety of the premises. Accidents are reported promptly and the manager reviews incidents to identify further ways to keep children safe.  The manager and staff work closely together to drive ongoing improvement. For instance, the manager regularly observes staff interacting with the children and gives constructive feedback to help them to improve.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, children become unsettled and distracted when they wait too long between activities and routine parts of their day.  Staff do not consistently make the best use of their knowledge and observations of children to plan activities meticulously to promote their learning to the highest levels.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. A range of robust policies and procedures is accessible in the setting and evident in practice. For example, policies relating to recording accidents, sickness and the administration of medication are closely followed. Staff understand how to recognise and report any child protection concerns. The arrangements for monitoring staff practice are effective. For example, managers observe staff in order to offer helpful advice and regularly meet with them individually. Parents feel involved in nursery life. They welcome detailed information about their child's day and share information from home with staff. Partnerships with other settings and professionals help to provide a consistent approach to children's care and learning. This contributes to the good progress children make.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff support children's language skills consistently well. They encourage plenty of conversation. For example, at circle times they discuss what makes them feel happy and what the weather might be doing today. Children are guided in their play and practitioners are involved to ensure children are supported well, overall. For example, children learn about fractions as they cut apples into segments and count out how many pieces they have each. Staff interact with children extremely well in the outdoor space. For example, they make obstacle courses and count the blocks as they lay them on the ground. Older children collaboratively help to build the course while staff help younger children to climb over steps and follow tracks.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children of all ages are confident and settled. Babies enjoy warm relationships with their key person and have good opportunities to practise their emerging physical skills. Older children capably complete tasks independently, such as laying the table and cutting fruit. Staff teach children well to keep themselves safe. They frequently encourage children to think about the risks in activities and how they can counteract these. For example, children learn to be careful when riding the bicycles in the outdoor space to ensure they respect the space of the other children. Children learn about those in the community who help them, have great fun visiting the local fire station and enjoy dressing up as their favourite superheroes.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make at least good progress in their learning. They develop the knowledge and skills they need to cope well as they move between rooms and on to school. Babies develop muscle strength and balance as they practise walking with support. Children are happy and settled. They confidently engage in conversations with visitors. Children concentrate well on activities that help them to develop early writing skills. Younger children frequently use resources that strengthen their hand muscles and older children assign meaning to the marks they make.
