p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n The manager does not make effective use of supervision to fully support staff and identify and address inconsistencies in the quality of teaching. n Younger children do not always benefit from good-quality teaching and learning experiences. n Some staff do not share sufficient detail about children's progress when a new key person is allocated, to ensure they know how to move the child forward in their learning.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Children enjoy taking part in the additional activities provided by outside professionals, such as French lessons and group singing sessions. They use puppets, props and musical instruments as they excitedly sing along and join in with the actions. Children are happy and settled. n Staff work closely in partnership with parents. They gather comprehensive information about children when they first start. Parents receive regular information about their child's care, learning and progress, which helps to promote consistency in their learning.

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Since the last inspection, the provider has appointed a new manager, who has worked closely with the local authority adviser to bring about positive improvement. She has recently introduced staff supervision and monitoring systems. However, it is too soon to see the impact of these new arrangements to improve some staff teaching skills. The manager and staff monitor children's progress and reflect on any differences in the progress they make. Together, they assign additional funding to help improve outcomes for children. For example, they have purchased technology resources, such as hand-held computer tablets, to build on children's understanding of how things work. Safeguarding is effective. Staff understand the indicators of abuse and know how to report concerns.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Staff teaching and their ability to build on children's success vary across the nursery. Those staff working with the youngest children do not consistently interact or provide them with challenging learning experiences. For example, they sometimes sit with babies on their lap for sustained periods of time, while other children wander around aimlessly. Staff record children's achievements using 'magic moment' observations. Overall, most staff use the information well to plan activities that link to children's next steps in learning. However, when a new key person is allocated they cannot see clearly how children have developed so far to build on their success. Older children generally experience a broad range of activities. They practise their early writing and reading skills as they explore the link between written words and sounds.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Children develop close relationships with all staff. Staff are warm and caring and they know children and their families well. Overall, staff create a warm and welcoming environment where children feel able to explore. However, staff working with young children do not plan well enough to promote purposeful play and learning. For instance, the environment is not stimulating enough to maintain children's interest and motivation. That said, children enjoy daily outdoor play in a well-resourced and interesting environment. They relish opportunities to be physically active, explore and investigate. Staff help children to learn about leading healthy lifestyles. Children enjoy nutritious meals and snacks and talk about how these affect their bodies. They develop independence as they manage tasks for themselves, such as serving their own meals.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children generally make steady progress from their starting points. They develop some of the skills in readiness for their future learning. For example, while playing outdoors babies use tools and equipment well as they dig in sand and mud. Toddlers use all of their senses to explore ice, water and glitter. They use simple mathematical language and concentrate as they fill and empty containers. Older children show interest in the natural world as they select images on their 'weather board' to illustrate the weather conditions that day.
