p.1

The provision is good

n The owner and her newly appointed manager strive to improve the outcomes for all children. They regularly reflect on the service that they provide and actively seek the ideas and comments from staff, parents and children. n Partnerships with parents are strong. Information is regularly exchanged in a variety of ways between the staff and parents. Parents spoken to on the day of inspection spoke very positively about the care and learning their children receive. n Staff in the pre-school room are highly skilled and are enthusiastic in their teaching. They support children's language development well. For example, they model words clearly and use effective questioning skills to encourage children to share what they know and what they can do. n Children's behaviour is good. Staff praise children on their achievements to help to support their emotional well-being and raise their confidence. n The key-person system works effectively. Staff know the children they care for well.

p.1

The provision is good

Staff in the baby room are nurturing and caring towards the babies. As a result, babies are happy, settled and are forming close and secure attachments with staff.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Monitoring of staff practice by the new manager is not incisive enough. It is not fully embedded to consistently provide highly effective support to develop staff's skills and knowledge, in order to raise the quality of teaching to an outstanding level. n Staff do not give enough consideration to how the outdoor equipment and toys are organised and managed. This does not fully support children's continued good learning and development.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning. n The inspector completed two joint observations with the manager. n The inspector held a meeting with the manager and owner. She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability and qualifications of staff working in the nursery. n The inspector spoke with staff and children during the inspection. n The inspector spoke to a small number of parents during the inspection and took account of their views. n The inspection was carried out as a result of the risk assessment process.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff complete regular safeguarding training. They have a secure understanding of what procedures they must follow should they have a concern about a child's welfare. They also keep their knowledge updated about the wider aspects of safeguarding children, such as the procedures regarding any concerns they may have about the suitability of staff. Staff supervise children closely and deploy themselves effectively to ensure children are safe and not exposed to any risks. The owner and her newly appointed manager reflect on children's progress well. They review children's development to ensure they are achieving in line with expectations and take swift action to narrow any identified gaps in their learning. Records, policies and procedures successfully underpin the smooth running of the nursery and effectively promote children's safety and welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The well-qualified staff team uses its observations and assessments and information provided by parents effectively. Staff use this information to plan an interesting range of indoor activities to challenge children and offer experiences matched to their individual needs. Staff encourage children to have a go and join in with the activities. For example, babies are encouraged to explore different textures to support their sensory development. Toddlers enthusiastically explore wet, coloured spaghetti. They use tools, such as plastic tweezers, to pick up the spaghetti. This helps them to develop their small-muscle skills and to support their early writing skills. Staff extend children's mathematical development and encourage children to count how many pieces of spaghetti they have and which pieces are long or short.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are encouraged to be independent from an early age. Babies and toddlers confidently select toys of their choice. Pre-school children demonstrate good personal self-care and toilet routines. Staff are good role models and teach children about tolerance and how to respect differences. Children build friendships with one another and quickly learn to take turns and share toys. Daily opportunities for physical play outside help to enhance children's health and physical development. Staff adhere to children's personal dietary needs and provide children with a healthy and well-balanced diet.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children of all ages and abilities, including children who receive funding, make good progress from their starting points. Children are motivated in their play and are eager to learn. They demonstrate curiosity, such as when babies press buttons for cause and effect. Toddlers work out problems by themselves. They add water to dry sand to make more robust sandcastles. Pre-school children develop their literacy skills well. They attempt to write their own name and enjoy listening to stories. Children are active learners and enjoy their time at the nursery. They are well prepared for the next stage in their learning, and for their eventual move on to school.
