inspection. This has had a good impact on safeguarding and learning and development. n The manager uses individual and appraisal meetings to help her monitor staff performance. These identify training programmes which improve outcomes for children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Staff do not provide enough opportunities for children to select and choose their own resources and activities. n Staff do not use assessment systems as well as possible to identify children's progress and their next steps of development consistently and precisely in all areas of their learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have completed in-house training on safeguarding and the 'Prevent' duty since the last inspection. They have a good awareness of their role and responsibility to protect children's safety. Staff know the steps to take if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. Self-evaluation is effective and informed by the views of staff, parents and children. Staff receive regular supervisory sessions to monitor and support their practice. This helps them to drive aspects of the nursery forward and improve practice. Staff complete the two year progress check for children well, liaising with parents and other outside agencies.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good understanding of how children learn. Staff teaching across the nursery is good. Staff get down to the children's level, helping them to play alongside each other. Staff get to know children's needs well and use this information to build on their learning. Good partnerships support children through times of change. Staff invite teachers in from the local school and children visit the local school regularly. Children enjoy playing with the dough. They roll the ball over it and tell staff it feels 'bumpy'. At story time, children are totally engrossed in the story of the cat that got stuck in the tree. They listen and explain to the staff about how the cat will get down and talk about their own pets. Staff promote children's communication and language skills well. Children learn about rhyming words and shout out 'mat' and 'sat' saying that these rhyme with 'cat'.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy, settled and enter the nursery confidently. They benefit from staff who are enthusiastic and welcoming on arrival. All staff have attended a paediatric first- aid course and have a first-aid kit to hand for any accidents. Staff promote children's healthy lifestyles well. Children enjoy a variety of healthy snacks, such as fruit and raisins, with drinks of water and milk, which they independently pour themselves. Staff help children to manage their own self-care skills, such as using the toilet and handwashing. Children get good opportunities to develop their physical skills indoors and outdoors in the well-resourced area. They enjoy climbing up and down the indoor slide, as well as learning to balance and climb on the large frame in the garden, where they learn to take risks safely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress. This includes children who speak English as an additional language. Children are confident communicators, have good speaking skills and learn how to pronounce words and the sounds of letters correctly. Children develop early mathematical skills. For example, they count backwards ready for the rocket to 'blast off'. All children are developing good skills for their future learning in readiness for their eventual move on to school.
