This provision is good

 Staff have good partnerships with parents. They are kept well informed about their children's progress and are asked to contribute information about what their children are achieving at home.  The staff team demonstrates a strong commitment towards maintaining improvements in all areas. Reflective practice takes into account the views of staff, parents and children. The setting continues to make improvements to enhance the experiences children receive.  The manager and staff have built strong partnerships with other settings, including local schools that children move on to. This helps them to achieve continuity in children's learning and development.  Staff know how their key children learn. They accurately observe and assess their development and plan how to support them in making further progress.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The provider and manager have a good understanding of the statutory requirements. The manager is very passionate about improving the experiences children receive and helping staff to improve practice. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff have a secure understanding of their responsibilities to protect children and promote their welfare. They understand what to do should they have a concern about a child in their care. The provider and manager use effective and safe recruitment processes to check that only suitable staff work with children. There are systems in place to support staff's professional development, such as regular meetings with the manager and training opportunities. Staff have attended training to secure their knowledge of how to support children to settle into the nursery, and how to help them form a close attachment with their key person. The manager thoroughly checks children's development regularly and

works with staff to seek additional support, when necessary, to close any gaps in children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified and understand that children learn through play. Children have a positive attitude to their learning. Older children are beginning to recognise their names in print. They find their own water bottle by recognising their name on the label. Staff provide group activities to promote children's literacy skills. For example, they encourage children to recognise different letter sounds. From memory, children say words beginning with a particular letter sound. Staff in the baby room are enthusiastic and responsive to children's needs. Young children find spiders in the tyres outside. Staff sing a song about spiders which children readily join in with and copy the actions to. Children in the toddler room develop their imagination. They use spaghetti pasta as a wand and pretend to turn a member of staff into a frog. Staff support children who speak English as an additional language extremely well. Children feel included and their cultures and routines are

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are independent. They learn to do things for themselves and follow good hygiene procedures. Children have regular access to activities outdoors. They are provided with a range of healthy snacks and meals. Children develop good physical skills. They enjoy activities that help to develop their smaller muscles, such as using jugs and sieves in the sand. Older children set their own rules to keep themselves safe. They eagerly find a job to do at tidy-up time, such as helping each other to put toys in the correct boxes. Children are sensitively supported when they settle in or move to their new room. They have a strong bond with their key person and their self-confidence and sense of well-being are high.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children are making good progress in their learning given their starting points. Children are developing key skills needed for school and future life. Older children are encouraged to use mathematical language and readily count in everyday play situations.
