 The inspector checked evidence of staff suitability to work with children and read some of the provider's policies and procedures.  The inspector looked at some documentation relating to observations, planning, employment, ratios and registration records.  The inspector observed activities indoors and outdoors, and held conversations with the manager, staff, some parents and some children.  The inspector completed two joint observations with the manager.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff are clear about their roles and responsibilities. They are well trained in safeguarding issues and know the procedures to follow to keep children safe. The manager ensures that all staff are suitable to work with children, and that they supervise children well and meet ratio requirements at all times. Staff are well supported through good-quality supervisions and induction procedures. They attend a good range of training courses, which helps them to enhance the care and teaching children receive. The manager monitors children's progress very well, including the progress of different groups of children. She uses funding effectively to help the most vulnerable children to achieve well. The manager and staff demonstrate a strong commitment to providing a high-quality provision. They evaluate practice effectively to identify and deal with any areas for improvement, and actively seek feedback from

parents and children to assist their evaluation.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good understanding how children learn and develop. They build a detailed knowledge of children's development from their observations and assessments and use this to plan a wide range of age-appropriate activities that support learning across all areas. For example, some children make their own play dough, exploring the texture of flour and glitter, while others create their own plates with clay. Skilful staff recognise when a child is not achieving as well as they could and swiftly provide them with the support they need. Staff place a strong focus on supporting children's language and communication. For example, they show children how to speak clearly and use children's own languages to help those who may need more support to catch up with their peers.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The environment is bright and welcoming. Children of all ages develop independence very well. For example, even young children put away their plates and cutlery after meals. Children learn to share and take turns. They use good manners and know the nursery rules, which the oldest children discuss with staff during group time. Staff are good role models. They talk to the children in a calm and respectful manner, which helps children to understand how to manage their own behaviour and to respect their friends.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress, including children who benefit from funding and those who speak English as an additional language. Children enjoy taking part in various group activities and exploring on their own. They gain the important skills they need for the next stages in their learning and for school. For example, the oldest children learn how to write different words, count, and socialise with others.
