Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff know exactly what to do should they have concerns about a child. They maintain a safe environment and supervise children well. Staff complete regular risk assessments of all areas. This helps to ensure that any possible hazards are removed. Recruitment and vetting procedures are robust and ongoing suitability checks ensure that all staff are suitable to work with children. Effective performance management and professional development procedures ensure that staff are knowledgeable. The management team has high expectations of staff and use robust systems to manage any staff underperformance. As a result, the team is well qualified and the quality of teaching is good.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff get to know children well through regular observations and accurate assessments of what they can do. They use this information effectively to plan activities taking into account children's individual interests. Children enjoy the time they spend at nursery. They enjoy taking part in messy activities, such as playing with flour and water. They squeal with delight as they explore the changes in consistency as water is added to the flour. Children's imaginations are fostered well as staff lead children on a bear hunt around the classroom. Staff listen attentively to children. They introduce new words and ask questions to encourage children to think and make links in their learning. Staff use pictures and visual prompts to support children who speak English as an additional language. This helps to support children's communication and language skills effectively.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children spend allocated time with their key person. They form strong bonds with staff who are kind, caring and friendly. This helps to promote children's confidence and emotional well-being. Initial home visits help staff to establish firm partnerships with parents and helps children to settle into their new environment. Children's good health is promoted. Staff remind children of the importance of following good hygiene procedures, such as washing hands before eating and after using the toilet. In addition to this, children have opportunities for regular outdoor activities. Children behave well. Staff encourage them to share, take turns and be kind to one another. This helps to develop mutual respect and positive relationships.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy listening to their favourite stories and join in with familiar phrases. They give meanings to the marks they make, for example, when writing shopping lists while playing in the role play area. Children learn to become independent and take care of their own needs. They confidently get their coats from their pegs and put these on before playing outside. Children who have special educational needs and disabilities are sensitively included in all activities. All children are gaining the necessary skills in readiness for moving on to the next stage in their learning, including school.
