who attend. This is good

Staff provide a broad range of activities to promote children's learning and development across all areas of learning. Children have free access to a wide range of toys and resources, which helps them to develop independence. Pre-school children enjoy stimulating activities; for instance, they learn to mix paints to make a range of different colours and predict how substances will change. They learn new words and learn to ask questions. Staff also help them to develop their reading and writing skills ready for starting school. Three-year-olds have fun while they act out familiar stories and join in songs. The outdoor pre-school garden, although small, has a wide range of resources which provides children with interesting activities, such as observing minibeasts, growing plants and practising their physical skills using trikes and bikes.

The environment is safe and welcoming for all ages, with a variety of resources in all rooms. Attractive displays, with photos of staff and their key children, make children feel safe and supported. Displays of children's own art and written work, together with clear instructions on behaviour, show that learning is valued and supported. Staff provide plenty of praise and build children's self-esteem, which results in them becoming confident learners. Babies enjoy close relationships with their carers as they share interactive books and are encouraged to join in and repeat words. Visits to local parks and shops help to increase children's knowledge of the local community.

provision is good

Managers have a good understanding of their responsibilities and a range of clear procedures and policies support children's health, safety and well-being. Checks on the quality of teaching, planning and assessment are rigorous, which results in individual children's needs being fully met. Children's behaviour is good and the vigilant staff encourage and praise children when they help each other and do the right thing. Questionnaires show that the majority of parents value the nursery and praise it highly. Parents are encouraged to participate in their children's learning and they are able to contribute to assessments, to better support learning at home. The nursery has robust systems to check that staff are suitable to work with children. Regular training ensures that staff understand child protection procedures and act appropriately to safeguard children. Managers have contact with other settings and this ensures that children are able

to make a successful transfer to local schools and other settings.
