This provision is good

 All babies and children benefit from a warm and harmonious learning environment where they are safe and secure. They settle well and begin to make friends. They make good progress in their learning and development, and are ready for their next stage in learning. Parents appreciate the good care that their children receive.  Babies have plenty of space to develop their physical skills ably; they learn to crawl and walk in a safe environment.  Children are interested in technology and confidently switch suitable resources on and off during their play activities. This area has shown improvement since the previous inspection.  Staff plan and provide many opportunities to broaden children's understanding of the wider world and the different people in their communities.  Leaders consistently monitor and evaluate the provision to ensure that the unit provides a good-quality service for all children.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The skilled staff provide play and learning experiences that enable children and babies to progress well in all areas. Parents provide all appropriate information about their children when children join the nursery. Staff collate and use this information with their ongoing observations of children to meet their needs and interests. Children have good attitudes to learning and respond well to staff requests. They try different musical instruments to experiment with sounds and sing favourite songs. Children enjoy creative activities, such as exploring different coloured glitter and decorating their own pictures. They show pride in their work and clap hands when staff praise them for their achievements and efforts. Staff interact well with children and skilfully encourage them to take an active part in activities. All children develop good communication and language skills. Staff inform parents of their children's progress and involve them in deciding what their children need

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children gain a good sense of community and self-worth. They are happy and form strong bonds with their key persons. Staff attend well to children's needs and teach them about behaviour expectations. Children behave well and learn to get on with one another. They help to tidy up and contribute appropriately to the life in the unit. Staff undertake thorough risk assessments of the premises, resources and outings to help keep children safe. They teach the children to keep themselves safe in many suitable ways, for example, by learning to handle resources with care. Children have regular fresh air and enjoy exercise in local parks and playgrounds. They learn to respect each other's needs, such as being quiet when someone is sleeping. They begin to listen to what their friends say and learn to take turns to greet one another.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All babies and children make good progress from their starting points. Children learn to show consideration to one another. They begin to share resources well and take turns. They choose their own activities and toys independently and use creativity in their play.
