It is not yet outstanding because:

n Activities are not robustly extended to ensure that children develop their own ideas, solve problems for themselves and build on their critical-thinking skills. n Sometimes, support for younger and non-verbal children's speech and language development is not always of a high enough standard to make sure any gaps in this aspect of their development close swiftly.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The provider has implemented effective measures to manage and review all aspects of the nursery. She has appointed a manager, deputy manager and cook. These recent changes have had a positive impact and give staff more time to promote children's play and learning. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of how to protect children and know the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about children's welfare. Partnerships with other providers are good. This promotes continuity in children's care and learning. Staff regularly exchange information with all those involved in children's care. They work closely with healthcare professionals to develop tailored learning plans that successfully support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. The manager makes good use of additional funding to enhance children's learning experiences.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The qualified staff have a good understanding of how children learn. Overall, they use a range of effective strategies to motivate children and promote their learning. Staff working with the youngest children use their knowledge gained from training well to promote the sensory development of babies. Babies are inquisitive to explore the sensory baskets full of interesting items. Babies relish singing time and follow actions and movements well. Staff encourage older children to practise their handling skills as they pour water from jugs into plastic bottles. Staff promote 'full' and 'empty' to support their mathematical awareness. Older children enjoy playing with play dough and talk about familiar events and their own experiences. This promotes their understanding of the world in which they live.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy their learning in a safe and welcoming environment. They behave well and staff boost children's self-confidence through praise for their efforts, achievements and positive behaviour. Staff promote children's good health well. For example, nutritious meals are prepared by the cook and children enjoy these very much. Children learn good personal hygiene procedures and they are physically active each day. Outdoors, older children show increasing control and develop good physical skills. Staff support babies well, such as when they help them get into the right position to use a small slide.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those in receipt of funding and those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, make at least good progress. Children know and follow consistent daily routines that support their growing independence. They develop a positive attitude towards their learning and are inquisitive learners. Children are confident, happy and seek out others to share experiences with. They are well prepared for the next stage of their learning and for school when the time comes.
