The provision is good

n Since the last inspection the manager has worked hard to make improvements. She has supported staff to attend a variety of training courses, including safeguarding. This has helped staff to gain a good understanding of what to do should they have a welfare concern about a child. n The manager has effectively assessed the quality of her provision and made positive changes. For example, two- and three-year-old children are now cared for in separate areas. This has enhanced children's enjoyment in the nursery and helped to improve their learning outcomes. n Staff are warm, caring and give priority to meeting children's individual needs. This helps children to settle in well and promotes their emotional attachment and sense of self-esteem. n Partnership with parents is good and parents are actively involved in their children's learning. Staff engage parents daily through feedback, annual parents' evenings and

newsletters to ensure parents stay involved and know about their children's experiences at the nursery.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n On occasions, staff over direct children's activities, reducing opportunities for children to explore, test and try out their own ideas. n Staff do not always fully support children's developing communication and language skills as, on occasions, they do not model the correct pronunciation of words.

Inspection activities n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities and assessed the impact this had on children's learning. n The inspector had a tour of the premises and spoke with staff and children during the inspection. n The inspector held a meeting with the nursery manager. She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the nursery. n The inspector spoke to some parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager monitors groups of children's progress effectively. This means that she quickly identifies where some children may need additional help and she provides swift intervention. She offers effective one-to-one support and staff work closely with other professionals, such as speech and language therapists. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff complete rigorous risk assessments to help to ensure the environment is safe and secure for children and there are good arrangements to determine staff suitability. Staff receive regular supervision sessions where they discuss children's progress, identify training needs and have the opportunity to discuss issues. The manager maintains an accurate record of attendance for children and staff. This helps her to ensure that she meets staff-to-child ratios.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, teaching is good. Staff work with parents to gather information about children's interests and what they can already do, when they start at the nursery. This helps staff to provide children with a stimulating learning environment, inside and outdoors. Staff regularly observe children's play and plan to meet their next steps in learning. Staff are enthusiastic and friendly. They show they are interested in children as they join in with their play and encourage them to share. Staff take opportunities to promote mathematical skills. For instance, they encourage children to use number and counting as they play. Children particularly enjoy singing rhymes that involve numbers and develop a good understanding of taking one away. Staff support children to investigate and explore the world around them as they build their knowledge. Babies explore the sand tray and older children collect leaves and branches on a walk in the park.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

A key-person system is in place and works effectively. Children behave exceptionally well. They are caring towards one another and encouraged to build relationships with their peers, showing respect for each other. Staff promote healthy lifestyles and provide nutritious, home-cooked meals. Children develop their independence from a young age. For example, they serve themselves at lunchtime and help to prepare snacks by cutting up the fruit. Staff support babies to develop confidence in their physical abilities, such as taking their first few steps independently. Children have opportunities to have fresh air and exercise on a daily basis.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and active learners. They make good progress from their starting points. Children take part in activities that lead them to gain good pencil control. For example, they make patterns in the sand with cars, roll conkers in paint and use pencils and crayons to make marks. They develop important skills that help to prepare them for future learning, such as school. For example, they learn how to put on their coats and shoes.
