p.1

The provision is good

n The manager and staff have a good understanding of the early years foundation stage. They use this knowledge to plan exciting activities to support children's development. n Staff effectively support the children's behaviour and help them understand what is expected of them. Children are confident and build strong friendships. n Partnerships with outside agencies are effective. For example, staff work closely with schools, to support children's individual needs and ensure a smooth transition to reception. n Children show good understanding of the world around them and discuss, for example, the weather and what type of clothes should be worn. n The manager has successfully made improvements to the setting. For example, a new pre-school room provides more space and resources for children to explore. It enables staff to continue to support good outcomes for children. n Parents speak highly of how well the nursery supports new children when starting. This

support continues throughout their time at the nursery.

It is not yet outstanding because:

n At times, transitions between daily routines and activities are not managed well. Children become distracted and need further directions to remind them of where they should be.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have secure knowledge of child protection and know what to do if there is a concern. Information sharing is strong, within the setting and with parents and outside agencies. Children feel valued as the information shared is used effectively to plan activities that reflect their interests and needs. Staff attend regular meetings and ongoing training to support their knowledge and practice. Accurate and consistent monitoring of children's progress helps staff to quickly any gaps in the children's learning address.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff skilfully use questions to support children to explore their thoughts and ideas. For example, staff help toddlers understand that ice is frozen water. Staff help older children make good progress toward school readiness as they support them to write letters on a screen with an interactive pen. Children of all ages build on their physical skills throughout the day, in the all-weather garden. Staff support babies to develop balance and coordination as they climb over small structures, and help toddlers to develop hand- to-eye coordination when following the road while cycling.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff know the children well and are attentive to their needs. They help children to develop their confidence in social situations. For example, they encourage quieter children to participate in discussions. Staff take time to ensure that children understand the rules and teach them to think about how their actions may affect others. Children are polite, considerate and love to help each other. For example, older children help their friends to find their named place mats at lunchtime. Staff support the children very well to make their own decisions, such as providing them with good opportunities to choose from a range of healthy meals and encouraging them to 'have a go' at tasting something new.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are happy and motivated to learn. Babies settle quickly and form close bonds with their key person. Older children use simple technology during their play to build on their problem-solving skills. Toddlers listen intently and are keen to follow instructions. All children take pride in their achievements and in earning stars from staff as they complete tasks. All children make good progress from their starting points and build on their skills for future learning.
