p.1

This provision is good

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Staff have a good understanding of the early years foundation stage and plan a wide range of activities that help most children make rapid progress in their learning. The recently appointed manager has made positive changes to practice to improve the outcomes for children. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a clear understanding of the safeguarding policy and procedures have recently been appropriately followed to protect children. This includes taking action when children's absence from the setting is unexplained. Staff are supported to develop their practice through regular supervision and appraisals which accurately identifies what they do well and areas that require improvement. Children are kept safe because, for example, the staff to child ratios are constantly reviewed and high priority is given to the security of the setting. The manager is implementing her plan to drive improvement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know the children well and have a clear understanding of what stage they are at in their learning. Accurate assessment informs children's individual planning, which ensures they make good progress. Staff are particularly skilled at engaging and extending children's learning during whole group activities. Children show pride as they correctly identify that two green cones and a blue cone means they have three cones altogether. Occasionally, some older children’s interest and ideas are not fully extended. Children’s language is developing well because staff give children time to answer questions and value their response. Children learn to work together as they tidy away the toys. Young children persist at activities such as water play. They learn to problem solve as they fill teapots and pour water into funnels, cups and bowls.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

An effective key person system ensures children feel secure. Children behave well. This is because children are involved in deciding the rules of the nursery and because staff consistently reinforce positive behaviour. Staff engage with parents and other professionals to ensure children who have special educational needs or disabilities are effectively supported. Children enjoy freshly prepared meals at lunch times, and they are encouraged to be independent, for example, as they clear the table after meals. Children of all ages demonstrate their agility and coordination, as well as a sense of rhythm, as they practise jumping to the beat of popular songs. Parents are kept informed each day of the care provided and what their child has achieved. Staff suggest some ways that parents can continue children's learning at home.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and make good progress in their learning. They learn about the wider world as they learn about different cultures and go for walks into the local community. Children's personal, social, emotional development and communication and language skills are particularly well promoted. Children listen well and follow instructions, they concentrate and persist at tasks. These skills support their future learning.
