p.1

The provision requires improvement. It is not yet good because:

n Managers have not developed partnerships with other settings children also attend, to share information about what children need to maintain their learning and development. n Staff do not implement effective practice to protect children against the risk of infection. In particular, they do not follow good practice with regard to handwashing procedures to promote children's good health. n Children do not receive effective support to learn how to maintain all aspects of their personal hygiene. n The manager does not ensure she monitors staff practice robustly and that she takes prompt action to address key weaknesses in the provision.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Staff provide stimulating activities that hold children's attention and help them to learn. They regularly assess children's development and plan effectively for the next steps in learning, enabling children to make good progress. n Children take delight in outside play activities and they have many opportunities to explore the space and to make discoveries. They have access to a wide range of interesting resources to support their play. n Parents are very satisfied with the staff and the environment they provide for children's learning and play. They say that staff have a caring attitude and that managers are flexible and try to accommodate their requests.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Managers and staff know how to recognise signs of possible abuse and neglect. They have a clear understanding of their responsibilities to report concerns and to protect any child from harm. The manager has effectively addressed the recommendations set at the last inspection. However, she does not review all aspects of staff practice rigorously to maintain a good standard of care at all times. Staff receive support and guidance to increase their knowledge to help children learn. For example, they have opportunities to attend courses in the physical development of children. Subsequently, they have focused on helping children to develop their muscles through exercise in preparation for early writing. However, managers do not ensure they obtain information from other providers to maintain continuity in children's learning. Conversely, managers and staff share information consistently with

parents and respond to their suggestions. Parents have contributed to the development of the outside play space and they appreciate the friendliness of the staff, the welcoming atmosphere and the range of activities on offer for their child.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff engage children well during activities and they provide good guidance and support for children's learning. Children recognise several colours and they solve problems while they sort and match jigsaw pieces. Staff promote children's language skills well. They listen to what children say and extend their learning through discussions about differences in people. Staff observe children while they play and they use the information gained to plan for the next steps in children's learning. Staff implement effective strategies to support children who have language delay and this helps to close gaps in their learning. Staff motivate children with praise and encouragement. Parents and staff discuss children's progress regularly and they share ideas for further learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Although staff are deployed well to supervise children at mealtimes, they do not ensure they consistently use good hygiene practice. Staff do not routinely ensure children use soap to wash their hands before or after lunch. Furthermore, children then use their hands to access raw vegetables and fresh fruit from serving platters. Therefore, children do not receive effective support to learn what they should do because staff do not promote children's personal development appropriately. Nevertheless, children behave well and they learn to share resources. The settling-in period is managed well to help children quickly feel at ease in the nursery.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All groups of children make good progress in their learning and development. Children develop good independence skills and they make decisions during activities and routines. Children play well together. They agree on what they should do to complete tasks and they take turns at sharing resources. Children develop skills in early literacy and numeracy in preparation for their move to school.
