p.1

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

n The manager has not fully implemented an effective system for staffs' supervision to identify and provide the required support, coaching and training to staff. n Not all staff are able to identify aspects of safeguarding concerns, in particular, when an allegation is made against staff. n On occasions, some staff do not support younger children's growing awareness of their feelings during their play.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Overall, the quality of teaching is strong. All children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress in their learning and development. n Staff work in partnership with parents and regularly share information about their children's learning and development. n Children are active learners and confidently explore following their own ideas, inside and outdoors.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. The provider follows appropriate procedures to ensure staff working with children are suitable to do so. All staff know the procedures to follow if there is a concern in relation to children's safety or welfare. However, some staff's awareness of safeguarding practice should an allegation be made against staff is not fully secure. The manager is at an early stage of implementing staff supervision systems. The manager is beginning to observe and monitor staffs' practice and assess their knowledge and understanding of the early years foundation stage framework. As a result, some gaps in their safeguarding knowledge and practice have yet to be identified and addressed. The manager accurately maintains required records and deals with complaints appropriately.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff regularly observe children to identify where they are in their learning and development. They plan activities and experiences that match children's learning needs and abilities. Children enjoy a wide range of experiences that motivates their learning and keeps them engaged. For example, babies enjoy exploring painting with their hands and feet, while older children learn how to operate buttons on the computer. Staff help children, including those learning English as an additional language, to extend their vocabulary well. For example, they read stories, sing songs and repeat new words. However, some staff miss opportunities to help older children to improve their literacy skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Staff provide children with a welcoming environment. The key-person system is effective. Children settle quickly, build secure bonds with staff and follow familiar routines that help to make them feel comfortable and safe. Overall, children behave well and in line with typical expectations for their age. However, some staff do not consistently support young children's growing awareness of their own feelings during their play. Staff praise children's achievements, efforts and ideas in order to boost their confidence and self- esteem. Staff deal with accidents appropriately and follow the nursery's procedures.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. They gain the skills they need for the next stages in their learning, including readiness for school. For example, they learn how to count and can recognise numbers and shapes. Children develop good independence skills. They make lots of choices, work well together and on their own. Children are very confident and happy during their play.
