who attend. This is good

Staff provide children with exciting toys, resources and activities to successfully promote their learning and development. The staff organise the rooms to a good standard to support children of different ages. Children benefit from using the good range of facilities for physical development including the squash courts, swimming pool and the local parks. Staff use outings in the community to enhance children's learning. For example, they encourage children to talk about the things they see, such as trains and to name colours. As a result, children build up vocabulary that reflects the breadth of their experiences. Staff make accurate assessments and use these to plan for and enhance children's learning. Parents positively engage in completing observations at home, which influences the key persons planning to build on children's learning at home. Staff help children prepare for their move to the next setting. Staff work in partnership with other settings to

A successful key-person approach develops good relationships between children and staff. The children are confident and happily greet the staff when they enter the setting. Staff follow good practices to promote healthy eating. They provide fresh fruit as a snack and a hot nutritious dinner for lunch. Children are not always encouraged to serve their meals independently because staff serve for them. Staff are positive role models and demonstrate the use of appropriate language and good manners. Staff encourage children to resolve disagreements and they are learning to behave well.

provision is good

The manager has implemented successful action plans and self-evaluation to develop the nursery and staff team. Staff are encouraged and supported to attend training to extend their knowledge, which has a positive influence on their practice and outcomes for children. The manager has key children and is a positive role model for the team. By working with the team closely, she ensures the team meet her high standards. The manager uses more experienced staff to mentor and guide staff that are developing their professional knowledge. The manager implements a safe recruitment process to ensure the suitability of staff to work with the children. The manager supports staff through a good induction process and with monthly supervisions and appraisals. She encourages both staff and parents to discuss any issues that arise so they can be dealt with promptly.
