p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Leaders are passionate about developing and building on the strengths of this family-run nursery. Action planning is targeted and effective, which makes a positive contribution to the overall quality of the setting. Parents provide very positive feedback about the nursery and the staff team. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff know how to report concerns to help keep children safe from harm. Leaders deploy staff extremely well throughout the nursery to ensure that the needs of all children are met effectively.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The well-qualified staff help children develop the key skills needed for starting school. They assess children accurately in order to plan what they need to learn next. Staff play alongside children and understand how to build on what they already know to help further their learning. Children enjoy play which motivates them and helps them to develop their imagination and curiosity. A strong focus on sensory activities for children under two years of age helps them to explore and be inquisitive. Older children are encouraged to create using a variety of materials and are given the time to develop their own ideas and choices in their designs. The staff work well in partnership with other professionals to support disabled children and those with special educational needs. The nursery uses effective strategies to enable children who speak English as an additional language to make good progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are warm, calm and patient in their interactions with the children. They talk to children about risks and make them aware of how to keep themselves safe, such as sitting with all legs of the chair on the floor. Staff work closely with parents, sharing key information to help children settle into the nursery. Care routines for the younger children have their unique needs at the centre. This helps children to feel settled and secure. Staff equip children with the independence skills and confidence they need to move on to the next stage of their learning. For example, before children start school they practise getting changed for physical activities. Children are helped to develop an understanding of healthy lifestyles. For example, they learn about choosing a variety of different fruits as they help to prepare a fruit salad. They are provided with the opportunity to have a freshly cooked meal that includes a variety of vegetables each day.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points and staff are skilled in meeting their individual needs. Staff put in place appropriate support for disabled children and those with special educational needs, to ensure they progress well and achieve. Children are equipped with the key skills they need in readiness for school.
