evidence of the suitability and qualifications of managers and staff working in the nursery.  The inspector spoke to staff, parents and children during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Occasionally, the manager has to source agency staff. She aims to secure the same staff to support continuity for children and their families and complement existing staff. Overall, staff receive induction and supervision sessions where they confirm their ongoing suitability to care for children. The management team has addressed issues it has identified. For example, the planning of older children's learning did not fully stretch their capabilities. A qualified teacher has now been appointed to support the pre-school team. As a result, highly effective planning is now in place for these children. Staff have a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities to protect the children in their care. Their knowledge of who to contact if they have concerns about a member of staff's practice is secure. The management team and staff follow procedures with regard to mobile phones not being used in the nursery. The manager ensures staff-to-child ratios are maintained

and the deputy and staff are deployed effectively. This helps support children's safety and welfare. Safeguarding is effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified. Staff caring for babies are experienced. They observe babies at play and support their communication and language, personal, social, emotional and physical development. Babies learning to walk are supported to master the new skill. They enjoy exploring pop-up toys and there is much laughter as they jump in excitement. Staff in the two to three years age group play with the children at their eye level. This helps increase their involvement. Children develop their speaking skills. They enjoy sitting together singing rhymes and sharing short stories. Pre-school children enjoy exploring mathematical concepts, such as pouring, sinking and basic quantities. They are encouraged to write their own names on their art creations. Children who have special educational needs or disability are supported by the special needs coordinator. She works with outside agencies and parents to help children make the best possible progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are supportive and gather a wealth of information from parents to help children settle into nursery life. Staff caring for babies follow care routines advised by parents to support consistency. Nappies are changed regularly and children's clothing is changed if the need arises. Staff teach children from an early age about adopting good hygiene practices, such as wiping their own nose. Older children are encouraged to be independent when attending to their personal care routines. Children enjoy home-cooked meals and snacks. Staff teach children of all ages to share and take turns. Children's behaviour is good. They have many opportunities to be physically active. Children take part in stretch and grow sessions, learn how to swim and play in the garden daily.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children of all ages show confidence. They demonstrate positive attitudes towards learning new skills and build on existing ones. Children are engaged in activities and are becoming independent learners. Pre-school children are developing their educational abilities to help prepare them for more formal education.
