This provision is good

n The providers are both highly skilled practitioners who model many outstanding teaching qualities to staff.

additional language in making the best possible progress with English. n Large-group activities, such as story time, are pitched at the mid-range ability of the children. As a result, older and more-able children are not always fully challenged and those with less well-developed communication and language skills sometimes lose concentration.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector observed children engaged in activities and staff interactions with them, indoors and outdoors. n The inspector sampled a range of documentation relating to safeguarding and staff suitability, and discussed children's progress and self-evaluation with the manager. n The inspector spoke to a number of parents, taking account of their views. n The inspector conducted joint observations with the manager.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Managers and staff all have a thorough understanding of their responsibilities to keep children safe, and the procedures to follow if they are concerned about a child's welfare. Leaders implement robust staff recruitment procedures and provide staff with regular one-to-one supervision support. They have a strong understanding of the setting's strengths and areas for further improvement, which are being well targeted. For example, a new electronic system is being introduced to keep parents better informed about the curriculum plans. New resources have been purchased to encourage children's interest and understanding of space, shape and measure. Opportunities for children to have access to a larger outdoor space are being explored. The manager and deputy form strong and effective partnerships with external agencies involved with children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Key staff successfully inspire children's interest in learning. For example, they let out an exaggerated exclamation that there is a spider in the pretend dinner, made with leaves, served to them. Children excitedly gather to observe using magnifiers, enabling them to see and count the legs. Staff encourage children to share their ideas and work together to achieve a planned result, such as building a wall using little oblong blocks to then slowly collapse like a pack of cards. Staff model good language and this includes using new words, such as 'compromise' and 'resolve'.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are extremely happy and demonstrate an immensely strong sense of belonging in the nursery environment. Staff make maximum use of opportunities, such as nappy changing, to build relationships with children. They make excellent use of books to deliver moral messages and to help children prepare for change, such as becoming a big sister and starting school. Staff use expert strategies to help children identify and talk about their feelings, such as angry or sad, for instance by matching these to a picture. Children then place their hand on an electronic hand print that sends a message to 'the worry fairy' who takes them away. Children show great ability to care about their environment. They tenderly return small creatures to their habitat after observing them, and have great fun helping staff repair damaged books.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for moving on to school, particularly in relation to developing the skills to manage their own personal care, such as toileting, blowing their noses and putting on coats. Their confidence in asking staff questions and to experiment without fear of failure is immensely inspiring. Children develop good pencil control and apply mathematical skills. They learn to link letters to sounds and, if ready, are taught how to blend these together to work out simple words. Most children develop rapid communication and language skills.
