This provision is good

 The efficient manager has a good overview of the service and implements all requirements well. She works closely with staff to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the nursery and continually makes improvements, based on accurate self-evaluation.  Children behave well in the nursery.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff complete safeguarding training and have a secure and up-to-date understanding of child protection procedures. They know who to contact if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. Staff regularly talk to parents, provide newsletters and share information. Parents are happy with the service provided. They comment that staff are kind, caring and supportive. Staff use knowledge gained from professional development to support children. For example, following behaviour management training, staff share their knowledge with their team and implement new ways to help children learn to be calm in the nursery. The staff make good use of additional funding to support children. For example, they provide board games to further develop children's social and language skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff monitor children's individual needs effectively. They plan for the next steps in their learning and identify and address gaps promptly. Children's literacy skills develop well. For example, older children enjoy group games to recognise letters. They learn the sounds of letters and recognise their own names. Staff use everyday situations to support children's learning. For example, they respond to babbling from babies to help develop their communication. Children enjoy being creative. For example, they pretend to be a hairdresser and make a cafe, and older children confidently use paint to make Christmas decorations.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff help children develop an understanding of beliefs other than their own. For instance, they celebrate a variety of festivals. Children develop healthy lifestyles. They learn about good hygiene procedures and the importance of healthy food. Children have good opportunities to develop their physical skills. For example, they have fun as they use scooters and explore the outdoor mud kitchen. Younger children develop their skills in walking, through support such as grasping balancing bars. Babies learn to feed themselves and enjoy good opportunities to develop their coordination. Children explore their feelings, for example considering happy and sad faces during group times.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Overall, all children make good progress in relation to their starting points. They are happy and share strong friendships. They are confident and develop independence from an early age. They are motivated to learn and eager to join in the activities on offer. Children gain skills in preparation for the next stage in their learning including their eventual move to school.
