p.1

This provision is good

 Effective systems for performance management are in place. The manager completes regular supervision sessions to ensure staff are well supported and training needs are identified. These have a positive impact on children's progress.  Children grow their own vegetables which they regularly add to their lunch and snack time menu. This helps children develop an excellent understanding of the importance of a healthy diet and lifestyle.  Children's behaviour is exceptionally good. Staff support children effectively and engage children in purposeful, well-rehearsed routines. This helps children to demonstrate high levels of independence, and they take turns and share with ease.  Tracking and accurate assessment systems have been developed to identify any gaps in children's learning. These help to ensure individual children are making good progress towards the early learning goals.  Robust recruitment and supervision procedures are implemented which include systems

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are knowledgeable about safeguarding procedures and clearly understand how to recognise and react to any signs of abuse or neglect. This helps to protect children from harm. Staff have established strong links with the local schools and work with teachers to ensure that children are well supported in their move between settings. A positive approach to partnership working ensures that parents are very well engaged in their children's ongoing learning. For example, parents are regularly invited to support learning at home and share their children's achievements with the nursery. The dedicated leaders of the nursery are committed to offering quality provision and are proactive in recognising strengths and identifying areas for development. For example, they have recently made effective changes to the layout of the baby room, in order to better support the needs of this age

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Teaching is good and children are well prepared for school. Staff working with the youngest children and babies ensure that the prime areas of learning are well planned for. Staff support older children's mathematical development well as they increase their awareness of shapes, colours, number and size during activities. Children confidently participate in circle times. Staff use these opportunities to support children in their imagination through enthusiastic questioning. Staff read familiar stories to children, which encourages their communication and listening skills. They motivate older children to join in with repeated refrains and actions, and encourage children to anticipate key events in the story well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children show very high levels of confidence and a strong sense of belonging. Staff are deployed exceptionally well meaning that children are constantly supported in their play and routines. The excellent range of resources and activities provided helps children to develop the essential skills needed to become motivated and independent learners. Children develop an excellent understanding of the importance of good health and hygiene through daily routines. Staff regularly sing during the day, helping to support children's emotional well-being. A successful key-person system is implemented which helps children to settle quickly. Children spend a lot of time outside, exploring the range of stimulating activities and resources. This has an extremely positive impact on their all-round development and physical well-being.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop positive attitudes towards taking part in learning experiences. For example, older children confidently write their names when they arrive at the nursery to sign themselves in. All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, make good progress in their learning and development. Children play respectfully together in a friendly, all-inclusive environment. This helps children to develop excellent social skills in time for the next stage in their learning, including school.
