This provision is good

n Leaders and managers have high expectations and accurately evaluate the provision. They have devised, and are implementing, clear action plans to drive improvements forward in pursuit of excellence. n Staff create a welcoming environment. Inside spaces are clean, and resources which are matched to the ages and development stages of the children are easily accessible. Children enjoy lots of opportunities to play and explore outside. n Staff observe and assess children's progress, taking particular note of their previous abilities and varied learning styles. They share this information with one another, and this helps them to plan and provide purposeful activities to promote children's learning effectively. n Children enjoy looking at books. They talk about the different characters and what might happen next. They listen intently as staff read stories, and they follow the cues to join in with the familiar parts.

p.1

This provision is good

n Children who are learning to speak English as an additional language are supported well. Staff liaise with parents and gather key words and phrases that can be used to help children settle and feel a sense of belonging. n Parents are very complimentary about the setting. They comment that, 'If anyone asks me if I know a good nursery I will always recommend here.' They say, 'My child has really come on since being here.' Also, 'All the girls are brilliant and really look after the children.' n Many of the staff are fairly new to the setting. This means they are yet to make the most of the opportunities for professional development to help them to gain expert skills and raise the quality of teaching to the highest levels. n At times, staff do not adapt activities and experiences as effectively as possible in order to capture the youngest children's interests and keep them engaged.

She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the setting. n The inspector spoke to a number of parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff know what to do if they are worried about a child's welfare and what action to take if they have any concerns about staff's practice. Child protection guidance and procedures are prominently displayed to help raise awareness of wider safeguarding issues, such as children and families being exposed to extreme behaviours and views. Staff carry out effective risk assessments, and the premises are safe and secure. Leaders, managers and staff are forming a strong team. They attend training events, complete courses and research online and are establishing effective systems to observe and assess one another's practice. They consider the views of parents and carers and take on board advice and guidance from other professionals. They also liaise with other childcare providers. They visit one another's settings, exchange ideas and talk about how to enhance practice. This helps

them to reflect on the quality of the experiences they provide and identify ways to continually improve.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather a range of information from parents about what children already know and can do when they start at the setting. They use this, and their own observations, to make an initial assessment of children's starting points for learning. Records of children's learning are shared with parents. Staff identify when children are not reaching expected developmental milestones. They work effectively with other professionals and parents to work out how best to support children in catching up with their peers. Positive partnerships with settings that children move on to are established. This encourages a collaborative approach to learning in the setting and elsewhere. All staff know all the children well. They skilfully follow children's interests and prompt them to talk about what they are doing. Staff encourage them to think and share ideas.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children form trusting relationships with all staff and are comfortable in the setting. They receive lots of praise and encouragement for doing things well, which boosts their confidence and self-esteem effectively. Staff are good role models. Children respond well to consistent routines, are respectful and behave well. They show care and consideration to one another and when tending to the chickens and the gerbil. Mealtimes are relaxed and sociable occasions. Children talk about their favourite fruits and how they will make healthy smoothies. They benefit from plenty of fresh air and exercise, moving between activities inside and outdoors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are motivated and confident learners. They play well in groups or on their own, share resources and wait patiently for their turn during games. Children interact well as they guide one another on the obstacle course. Older children take care of the younger ones, making sure that they are happy and bringing them a drink if they think they would like one. Children make good progress given their starting points and develop the key skills they need in readiness for their future learning. They leave the setting well prepared for school.
