Children benefit immensely from a healthy diet. The nursery has improved the quality of the meals it provided in response to parents' requests. Children now have more options and enjoy nutritious meals.  Staff members closely monitor children who are less confident speakers.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. There are robust recruitment and vetting procedures in place to help ensure that only suitable people work with children. The management team and staff have secure knowledge of child protection issues and know how to proceed if they think a child is at risk of harm. Staff undertake daily risk assessments to reduce potential hazards to children. The management team supports staff through thorough induction programmes and regular one-to-one meetings. They encourage training opportunities to keep staff's childcare skills up to date. The nursery has addressed the action and recommendation set at the previous inspection. This has led to improvements in the quality of care and learning children receive. They are now more effective in evaluating their practice. For example, the management consults with staff, parents and external advisors to improve the service and outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff make regular observations and record children's achievements in their profiles. They use these notes to plan purposeful activities to ensure children are moved on in their learning. Staff use good techniques to promote children's language and communication skills. For example, they use repetition of words as well as a running commentary of their actions during routine times to expand young children's vocabulary. Older children talk confidently to their friends and adults. Children have good opportunities to develop their exploratory skills. For example, they grow plants, discover small creatures under leaves, care for a pet hamster and experiment with natural resources. Staff provide a variety of materials to enable babies to use all their senses to discover colours, sounds and textures.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children benefit immensely from the strong partnership the staff have with their parents, which promotes consistency of care. Children settle quickly and develop warm relationships with their key persons, who are receptive to their individual needs. Babies' and children's independence is encouraged. Children learn the importance of good personal hygiene through effective daily routines. Staff provide babies with a variety of physical play experiences to help them move to the next stage of their development. Children enjoy daily physical exercise that contributes to keeping them healthy. Staff use appropriate behaviour management strategies and children respond well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children use a wide variety of small equipment in their play. Their fine finger movements are developing well. Older children are learning to write their first name. Children's understanding of numbers, shapes and measurements is developing well. They gain valuable skills for the future and are prepared well for their move to school.
