This provision is good

 The highly skilled, experienced and dedicated manager leads her staff team exceptionally well. She strives for the pursuit of excellence and has fostered a culture of where only the best is good enough. Self-evaluation is strong and improvement plans are sharply focused.  The quality of teaching is good. The well-qualified staff team provides children with a personalised curriculum, which captures their interest and keeps them motivated to learn. This results in all children, including those in receipt of government funding making good and better progress across all areas of learning.  The nursery offers a calm, purposeful and safe environment in which children can flourish.

This provision is good

 Children's well-being is at the heart of the nursery's caring ethos. Staff place high emphasis on promoting children's personal, social and emotional development. This ensures that children's aspirations and their self-esteem are raised.  Children's communication and language development are promoted very well. Staff listen to children with genuine interest and ask them challenging questions during their play. This helps all children to be competent and confident communicators.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager has a robust knowledge and understanding of the legal requirements of the early years foundation stage. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Robust risk assessments are in place and all areas of the nursery premises are safe, secure and fit for purpose. The manager deploys her staff very well and ensures that high staff-to-child ratios are complied with at all times. Staff are extremely vigilant and supervise children very well. Staff receive coaching and support during supervision sessions and appraisal meetings. They attend a variety of training programmes, which positively impacts on outcomes for children.

understood by all staff. The manager gives utmost priority to the handling of complaints and provides extremely detailed evaluations of her findings. Partnership working is strong. Parents are kept well informed of their child's learning. Information boards are highly informative and include weekly activities and contact details of external professionals.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children thoroughly enjoy their time at this busy and vibrant nursery. Their laughter, eagerness to explore and natural inquisitiveness permeates throughout the nursery. Staff know children well and understand how to captivate and motivate them during their play and learning. Babies become fascinated while playing with gloop and show good concentration skills while mounting low-level climbing apparatus. Toddlers become excited while searching for bugs outdoors and sit quietly while looking at books. Pre-school children become enthralled while enacting roles of superheroes and show good pencil control as they attempt to write for different purposes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Care practices are good across the nursery. Staff are loving, caring and affectionate to children and regularly embrace them with hugs and cuddles. The key-person system works very well and successfully supports children's physical and emotional well-being. Children display high levels of self-confidence and self-motivation during their play. All staff are first aid trained and have a good understanding of how to deal and respond to a number of different medical emergencies. Accidents and injuries are given high priority and are expertly dealt with by the manager and her well-qualified staff team.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who speak English as an additional language and children who have special educational needs or disability receive perceptive support and intervention. This means that all children make good progress towards the early learning goals. Children develop new skills, which prepare them well for their future learning. Pre-school children write their names and skilfully decode simple words. Babies move their bodies to music and copy actions they have observed from staff. Toddlers become immersed in imaginative play and are learning how to operate age-appropriate computer software.
