This provision is good

 Staff have a good understanding of how children learn. They provide a wide range of resources and experiences, which they base around children's interests and learning needs. As a result, children make good progress.  Staff develop good relationships with parents. They value their opinions and ensure that they work successfully to plan for their child's care and learning needs.  Children develop close bonds with staff. They approach staff confidently when they need support or reassurance.  Children have daily opportunities to learn about leading healthy lifestyles. For example, they spend time outside in the fresh air and enjoy healthy, nutritious snacks.  Self-evaluation is effective and promotes good outcomes for the children. Staff have made good progress since their last inspection to enhance the quality of their provision. Observation, assessment and planning arrangements are now well established.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager has a good understanding of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Safeguarding is effective. Staff are fully aware of how to protect children and clearly understand what they need to do if they have concerns. The manager deploys her staff well and monitors their practice to ensure all children reach their potential. Regular supervision meetings and training enable staff to enhance their skills and knowledge to aid improvements in practice. For example, following training, staff have devised better ways of working with parents to support their children's learning at home. The manager monitors children's progress well to identify and swiftly close any emerging gaps in their learning. Staff work well with other providers and external agencies to ensure children have early support to make good progress. All parents spoken to on the day of the inspection had positive views about the nursery.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The quality of teaching is good. Staff complete accurate assessments and plan effectively for the next steps in children's learning. They provide an interesting range of resources that encourage children to explore and experiment. Children enjoy creative activities, explore texture and develop their muscles. For example, they excitedly investigated hidden animals in the dirt and built sandcastles alongside their friends. Children enthusiastically take part in role play activities and have good imaginative skills. Children celebrate differences and learn about the world around them. Staff develop children's interest in books and songs. For example, they involve them in the story and children enjoy watching puppets tell the story.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are welcoming and supportive to families. They provide an exciting and stimulating environment for the children. Children make choices about their play and manage their own personal needs. For example, they learn to pour their own drinks and put on their coats for outdoor play. Children learn about personal risk, such as how to cut up their snack carefully. Staff are good role models. They praise children's efforts and achievements. Children behave well; they listen to their friends, share, and take turns. Children enjoy outdoor play and like taking part in daily exercises. There is plenty of space and children are physically active.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points. Children are enthusiastic, confident learners, who develop a wide range of skills. They are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
