p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Leaders conduct thorough vetting checks on all staff to ensure that they are suitable to work with children. Leaders and staff are clear about their responsibility to safeguard children. They understand the correct procedures to follow if they have any welfare concerns. Leaders monitor the quality of children's learning and provide continuous training and support to staff so that children make the best possible progress. Staff observe each other to share good practice and benefit from training on the early years curriculum to meet the needs of each child. Leaders and staff act on the views of parents, children and others to help them improve their service. Parents express high levels of satisfaction with the care and learning their children receive from the dedicated staff. They would recommend the nursery to others.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan and provide enjoyable and stimulating experiences to support children's learning. They observe children in their play, assess their progress and plan for their next steps for learning. They spot where a child might not be developing as expected, and work effectively with the parents and other professionals to help them catch up. Children have positive attitudes to learning. They engage confidently in activities and resources of their choice. For example, they work together to create fabulous models using wooden blocks. Children's interest in painting leads them to explore how colours change when they are mixed and to create imaginative pictures. They show great pride in their work.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff manage children's behaviour in a calm and respectful manner. Children develop a good sense of belonging and self-worth. They show consideration to their friends and are sensitive to the needs of others. For example, they raise funds to help others in the local community and beyond. Children mix well and learn about diversity. They try musical instruments from different countries and sing multicultural songs. Staff help children adopt healthy lifestyles. Children serve their own food and pour their drinks independently. They know that fruits and milk are good for them. Children enjoy fresh air and exercise in the outdoors. They ride bikes and scooters safely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and any gaps in learning are rapidly closed. Children love books and enjoy talking about their favourite pictures or characters. Babies learn new words and explore toys safely. Children share resources fairly and take turns. Older children confidently count and add objects together, and recognise numerals. They know letters and sounds and write their names independently. Children use magnifying glasses to explore the natural world around them and learn to care for living things.
