This provision is good

 The management team has a clear vision of how to drive improvement to better meet the needs of children. Self-evaluation is very effective and includes the views of staff, parents and children. The manager effectively monitors and evaluates the quality of teaching and, together with the staff, takes effective action to enhance the provision for children.  Partnerships with other settings that children attend and agencies involved in their care are very strong. Information about children, with parents' consent, is shared. Consequently, continuity of care and learning is enhanced.  Well-qualified staff demonstrate effective teaching skills and have high expectations of all children. They provide a wide range of interesting activities to consistently challenge children and support their good progress.  The effective key-person system supports children's emotional well-being as they join and move through the rooms in the nursery. Key staff gain detailed information about

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the manager.  The inspector had discussions with the manager and staff. She looked at relevant documentation, such as self-evaluation and evidence of the suitability of adults in the setting.  The inspector took the written views of parents into account.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff and management are aware of procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. Robust, safe recruitment procedures ensure the suitability of all adults working with children. In addition, a high percentage of staff have completed first-aid training and know the prompt action to take in the event of an emergency. Staff regularly attend training to update their skills and knowledge. They use this information to enhance their practice and the learning outcomes for children. The manager has recently started to monitor the progress of the different groups of children who attend the nursery to ensure that gaps in their development are closing.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know the children they work with well. They accurately assess children's level of development through regular observations and take account of their interests to inform their planning. Babies explore the treasure baskets, sand and paint using their senses. They press buttons on objects and explore musical instruments to see what happens. Babies imitate staff's actions and move enthusiastically to action songs and rhymes. Children's communication and language skills are promoted very well. One of the ways staff encourage this is by providing opportunities at group time for children to chat about what they have done during the session. Children listen to one another very well and applaud their peers' accomplishments and singing skills. This boosts children's confidence and self-esteem. Children are showing an interest in the sounds of individual letters and identify the initial sounds of words. More-able children are writing their own names.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Parents are fully involved in their children's learning and development to promote continuity between the home and the nursery.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well. Staff actively implement agreed strategies to promote good behaviour. They support children to respect others, to share and take turns. Children often manage daily tasks independently. Children enjoy healthy meals and snacks that are cooked on the premises. Mealtimes are social occasions where staff sit and eat with the children and chat about things that interest them. This is one way that they model good social skills. Children have regular opportunities to play outdoors to develop their physical skills and enjoy the fresh air. They cycle, climb and balance on the apparatus confidently. Children learn to assess risks for themselves. Staff speak with them about how to place chairs safely, so that they do not hurt themselves. They also learn how to use scissors and knives safely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make consistently good progress in their learning and development, in relation to their starting points. This includes disabled children and those with special educational needs and children who speak English as an additional language. Gifted children are challenged well to enhance their development even further. Consequently, children develop the key skills needed for their future learning, including school.
