p.1

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

n The provider does not ensure that all areas of the nursery and resources used by the children are effectively maintained and comply with health and safety legislation, including hygiene. n The staff do not ensure that each child has an adequate supply of their own bed linen for times of rest. n Staff do not obtain enough in-depth information from parents about their children's prior learning when they first start at the nursery, to enable them to enhance children's development fully from the very start.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Partnerships with other agencies involved in the children's care and well-being are effective. As a result, continuity of care and children's needs are met well. n The management team implements robust recruitment and vetting procedures to check the suitability of all staff working in the nursery. This helps to promote children's safety. n Staff encourage children's communication and language development well. For example, they use strategies, such as questioning and repetition, to promote this. n Staff make regular observations of children and track them effectively across the early years foundation stage. Records show children are making good progress. n Children's behaviour is good. Staff have high expectations. They provide consistent guidance and praise to help children understand what is expected of them.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

The management team does not ensure that all areas of the nursery meet hygiene requirements and that staff follow the nursery's cleaning routines to prevent the spread of infection. Some areas in the pre-school room are dirty and children do not consistently have their own bed linen for rest times. However, as soon as this was highlighted, issues were begun to be addressed to make improvements. Partnerships with parents are generally good. However, staff do not obtain precise information from parents about children's prior learning when they first start at the nursery. This does not help children make the best possible progress from the start. Nevertheless, parents receive good information about the nursery and their children's development by a variety of means. As part of improving practice, a new system for engaging parents in children's development has recently been rolled out and is enhancing continuity of care and learning. Staff

supervise children appropriately and evaluate accidents to limit future risks. All the required documentation, including written permissions and accident records, is maintained effectively. Complaints, if put in writing, are responded to within the required period. Staff deployment is organised effectively to meet the staff-to-child ratios. The provider understands the importance of notifying Ofsted of significant events. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have an appropriate knowledge and understanding of how to identify and report any concerns they may have about children in their care. A programme of staff supervision is in place, which helps identify staff's training needs and enhances the outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff understand the learning and development requirements well. Activities are rooted in children's interests and they enhance learning effectively. Staff actively engage in the children's play and are led by what they want to do. They help toddlers develop their physical skills on the balancing beams and encourage them to observe mini-beasts in the outdoor area. Children learn how to problem solve as they play. For example, staff ask children how to make the play dough less sticky so that they can manipulate it better.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Weaknesses in hygiene practices do not robustly prevent the spread of infection. Despite this, nappy-changing practices are sound. In addition, children develop an understanding of healthy and safe lifestyles. They enjoy regular fresh air and exercise in the outdoor areas. They are beginning to understand the importance of washing their hands at appropriate times of the day. Meals and snacks are nutritious and take into consideration children's dietary requirements. Children are developing their independence well. They freely choose resources and serve their own meals at lunch time.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children effectively develop the skills they need for their future learning. Pre-school children develop mathematical skills as they use buns made from play dough to calculate how many they will have left if they eat one. Babies are engaged and motivated as they explore wooden blocks with interesting objects inside and look at the world through coloured plastic sheeting.
