p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider has effective systems in place to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Staff have a good knowledge of safeguarding practices and know how to keep children safe and secure. For example, they monitor the arrival and departure times, including records of visitors to the nursery. The manager and staff understand how to monitor the pattern of children's attendance and encourage parents to notify children's absence. The manager observes staff and gives them constructive feedback to help them improve the quality of their practice. Staff attend training and share good practice with their colleagues to benefit children's learning. The manager has successfully acted on the recommendations made at the previous inspection. The manager and staff act on the views and comments of parents, children and outside professionals to continue to provide a good service.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather information from parents and use ongoing observations to establish children's starting points in their learning. They plan and provide a range of interesting activities to motivate children to learn. Children are excited and relate well to each other. They enjoy many creative activities. For example, they experiment with different colour paints and observe the changes that happen to them when they mix. They create colourful pictures and show pride in their work. Children sing songs, try different musical instruments and dance to music. They love books and talk about their favourite pictures, characters and events. Staff interact well with children and follow their interests in play to support their learning. Children listen attentively and respond well to instructions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models for children. They remind children to share resources fairly, take turns and consider the feelings of others. Children help themselves to snacks, wash their own plates and cups after eating and keep the table clean for their friends to use. They adopt good healthy eating habits. For example, they know that water and milk are good for them. Children enjoy regular physical play and fresh air in the outdoors. They ride bikes and scooters safely and are aware of others around them. Staff undertake regular and thorough checks on the premises and resources to keep children safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and any gaps in learning are rapidly closing. Children are confident to express their ideas and develop appropriate independence skills. For example, they select from a wide range of resources available indoors and outdoors to support their learning. Older children write their names correctly and independently. They count objects, recognise numerals and simple shapes and explore patterns around them.
