It is not yet outstanding because:

n Leaders do not make full use of their evaluation of the impact of staff's practice to precisely focus their professional development. n At times, staff move children on to other activities too quickly and do not provide enough opportunities for children to develop their sustained concentration and thinking skills.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are trained in child protection and understand how to keep children safe from harm. They are clear about the procedures to follow should they have any safeguarding concerns. Leaders monitor the progress of all children each term and identify those who are at risk of falling behind. Staff know how to access external agencies for support, where necessary, and plan well to help children catch up in their development. Relationships between leaders and staff are strong, warm and respectful. Leaders effectively recruit staff safely and monitor their continued suitability to work with children. Staff are qualified. Overall, they receive support in their role, including regular supervision, room meetings and coaching.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff regularly observe children and make accurate assessments of their development. They use this information well to shape children's learning experiences. Staff are very attentive, they engage well with the children, coaching and guiding their play. Children show high levels of interest and motivation as they hunt for insects in the garden. They demonstrate curiosity as they observe the snail and the spider. Staff support children's understanding as they name the insects and teach children to be gentle when observing the snail. Very young children confidently ask for the songs they know. Staff are skilled at using singing to help babies develop their understanding of the flow of language. For example, as staff sing, they leave a space for the very young children to take over and successfully add in the missing words.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children display positive self-esteem and emotional well-being. Staff manage children's entry into the nursery and movement between rooms well to ensure they are settled and confident. Staff promote healthy lifestyles well. Younger and older children develop their understanding of hygienic self-care routines as they independently wash their hands. Staff ensure that children have daily access to the outdoors. Older children challenge their physical skills and reactions as they move quickly on the scooter around resources and people. Equality and diversity is supported well. For example, staff help children celebrate a variety of festivals and take them on regular visits the local community to learn about other people.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children are making good progress in their learning and eagerly join in activities. Older children draw rainbows with good hand control. They independently identify the colours in a rainbow and write their name on their pictures. Children play imaginatively together and pretend to be superheros. They cooperate well and negotiate the rules and the story. Babies confidently explore and spin sensory items and complete simple jigsaws. Older children accurately retell familiar fairy stories and add their own storylines. Children are developing the knowledge and skills they need for the future and for starting school.
