p.1

This provision is good

 Staff offer a warm and nurturing learning environment. Children self-register when they arrive at the nursery, settle well into daily routines and make friends with whom to play. Children's behaviour is good.  Staff use children's interests to enthuse and engage them effectively in learning. Children make good progress in relation to their individual starting points. They are well prepared for the next stages of their learning and development, including the move on to school.  Children respond with enjoyment to music and dance activities. For example, they learn new movements, clap hands and move their bodies safely.  Staff help children learn about different people and their communities. For instance, children take part in different festivals and taste food from different countries.  The management team evaluates and monitors the quality of the provision to improve outcomes for all children continually.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, some staff do not provide challenges to extend children's language development fully and stretch their thinking even further.  Staff do not always offer further opportunities for children to access and develop their skills in using everyday technology.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider uses robust recruitment and induction procedures to help ensure that staff are suitable for their roles. Staff have a good understanding of safeguarding practices and know how to protect children in their care. The management team and staff check the progress of each child and groups. When they identify gaps in children's learning, staff provide good support to help children catch up. Staff work well with providers when the time comes for children to move on. They also liaise effectively with relevant agencies to seek further support for children when needed. Staff attend training courses, observe each other and share best practice, which help develop their teaching skills. The management team acts on the views of staff, parents, children and others to improve the service continually.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather relevant information from parents about what their children know and can do. They use this information along with their ongoing observations to assess children's learning. Staff review the organisation of routines and provide stimulating activities to help children remain interested and motivated to learn. Children keenly take part in activities and relate well to each other. They thoroughly enjoy their learning, for example, when they create colourful collages of pictures. Children explore different-coloured paints and observe how colours change when they mix. Children enjoy stories and like to share a book with a friend. Staff keep parents well informed about their children's progress and well-being, and involve them in next steps.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff form strong bonds with children. For example, they share their behaviour procedures with parents and children so that they know what is expected. Children learn to be kind to each other, share resources fairly and take turns. Staff help children adopt healthy lifestyles. For instance, they provide children with nutritious snacks and encourage them to drink water to keep hydrated. Children engage well outdoors and appreciate fresh air and exercise. They practise balancing on beams and develop good awareness of others around them. Staff undertake thorough checks on the premises and resources, to ensure children can engage in both indoor and outdoor activities safely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and any gaps in their learning are closing. Young children learn to explore tools and find out how things work. Children listen attentively and respond well to instructions. Older children count, sort and match objects correctly and recognise numerals. They know letters and the sounds they represent, and learn to write their names correctly. Children understand that plants need water to grow.
