who attend. This is good

Staff plan activities for the children, which incorporate their interests, development needs and targets set with parents. Staff regularly observe children in order to track their development and plan for their future learning. Children take the lead during their free play and are supported by staff, by adding comments and suggestions to enhance learning. For example, a painting activity is developed from boys role-playing super heroes. Staff are quick in addressing gaps in development by providing children with extra support. Staff use the outdoor area well to continue children's learning outside, as children have opportunities to engage in a range of activities. For example, children learn about some aspects of the world around them as they plant flowers and dig in soil.

good

Staff operate an effective key-person system, which enables children to feel happy and confident. Staff make sure each room is stimulating and well resourced, ensuring that children have many learning experiences throughout their free play. Children in the baby room benefit from an area dedicated to encouraging their exploration and investigative skills. Staff have a clear understanding of their responsibilities in safeguarding children and are aware of different signs of abuse and the required reporting procedures. Staff implement clear and consistent behavioural expectations and calmly remind children about using kind hands and sharing with each other. Children learn how to keep themselves safe as they complete daily safety checks with the staff. Children become independent as they are encouraged to use the toilet unaided and serve themselves at meal times.

provision is good

The management team are fully committed to making continuous improvements. They work closely with other professionals in order to achieve high standards and have been active in addressing all previous recommendations. Staff establish strong partnerships with parents and the manager uses a variety of techniques to gather their feedback. Parents complete questionnaires to assess how well the nursery supports children's moves into the nursery, between rooms and when they go to school. The manager gathers information from a weekly parents' survey to assess how well they feel the nursery is working. Management use robust recruitment procedures to ensure that there is a good quality staff team. Staff attend regular training, which is identified through supervisions with the manager. Training enhances the children's experiences as the staff implement new ideas to ensure they are continually meeting the children's changing needs.
