The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 Children make good progress in their learning and development because they are excited and motivated by the wide range of fun and stimulating activities that staff provide.  Staff use strong settling-in procedures, which help them to get to know children and their families quickly, and support their needs promptly.  Staff implement safeguarding procedures effectively in practice and take appropriate action when needed. This fully safeguards children's welfare.  Staff have good relationships with parents. Parents comment that they are happy with the care and learning opportunities offered to their children.  Children behave well and learn how to share and take turns with sensitive guidance from staff. Staff act as good role models, which further develops children's understanding.

who attend. This is good

Staff promote children's learning and development well in a welcoming and friendly environment. Children select from a wide range of resources and exciting activities which promote all areas of their learning. The quality of teaching is generally high. Staff know children well and use assessments of their progress to plan for the next steps in their individual learning. Staff encourage and motivate children by continuously offering praise for their achievements. They help develop children's communication skills by extending their vocabulary. For example, at the inspection, staff and children talked about using a 'syringe' in a mathematics activity. Staff also helped them to solve problems by asking how many times they would need to fill up the syringes in order to then fill their cups. Children enjoyed singing and staff incorporated number rhymes and songs which successfully supported children's mathematical development. Children thoroughly enjoyed

painting onto paper fixed to the fence outside and showing off the results.

p.3

good

Staff use a secure key-person system to effectively support children's well-being. This helps children to feel secure. Staff are nurturing and support each child in their learning and development by working in close partnership with parents. For example, staff organise regular parents' evenings to discuss each child's care and progress. Staff have a good understanding of how to promote children's health and well-being. Children play outside every day as part of a healthy lifestyle and they benefit from the fresh air, exercise and a well-resourced outdoor area. Children have an excellent awareness of how to keep safe. Staff teach children about safety with the help of Candyfloss, the nursery's safety superhero toy.

provision is good

The management team has a good understanding of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage and its responsibility to protect and safeguard children. There are robust systems to monitor staff recruitment and deployment, as well as their ongoing suitability to work with children. The manager uses staff supervision to identify professional development needs and encourages staff to increase their skills. For example, two staff are currently studying for foundation degrees and are using the knowledge gained to enhance children's learning. The manager uses a good self-evaluation system to help identify the nursery's strengths and areas for improvement. She also monitors children's progress and identifies any gaps in the learning of individuals or groups of children. Staff have very good relationships with external agencies, working in partnership to support children requiring additional help.
