This provision is good

 Since the last inspection, managers have worked hard to improve. They have worked with the local authority to adapt practice and make changes to the provision.

Children are confident and motivated to play, explore and learn.  Children make good progress. The special educational needs coordinator is knowledgeable in her role. Any children that require additional support are identified and helped to catch up with their peers. This helps to ensure no child falls behind.  Children are settled, happy and comfortable attending. Staff get to know children and their families very well. They find out about their individual care needs, home lives, cultures and languages. Staff ensure children's needs are met and their similarities and

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Managers fully understand their roles and responsibilities, ensuring all legal requirements are met. Most staff are qualified. Staff are well supervised. They are observed and have regular meetings with management. They also have access to some training. This has a positive impact on the quality of care and education provided. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Managers and staff are knowledgeable about government safeguarding legislation. They know what to do if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The nursery is thoroughly risk assessed and daily safety checks are conducted by staff. Managers monitor health and safety processes. They ensure the correct number of staff are well deployed throughout the nursery. This helps to keep children safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The quality of teaching is good. Staff skilfully adapt activities to suit the age groups of children attending and meet their individual learning needs. For example, all children enjoy opportunities to be creative and use their imaginations. Babies are provided with experiences where they can explore paint. Staff encourage them to use their hands, fingers or brushes to manipulate the paint and make marks. Young children spend time using play dough to make shapes and models. Staff show them how the materials can be used and combined in different ways. Older children are given opportunities to use a variety of materials to make Christmas figures. Staff encourage them to think about what they are doing and independently decide how to use the equipment. Managers have a good overview of children's progress, helping to ensure they continually progress well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's physical well-being is promoted. Staff sensitively follow children's care routines and ensure they benefit from exactly what they need during the day. Staff offer children a range of nutritious snacks and meals. They also always ensure fresh drinking water is available. Staff ensure children adopt good hygiene routines. They talk to children about the importance of eating well and staying clean. Staff ensure children benefit from plenty of fresh air. They also encourage exercise. Children enjoy dancing, playing chasing games that require them to run around and negotiate the space available or riding on wheeled vehicles, helping to build on their physical skills. Children behave well. They learn to share, take turns and play well together. They also enjoy the responsibility of small tasks, such as tidying away or clearing their plates after meals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children progress well in their development and acquire the key skills they need for the next stage of their learning. Children are independent. They make choices about what they want to do and learn to manage their own care needs. Children develop good communication and language skills. They listen to staff and follow instructions. They are beginning to speak clearly and are able to respond to questions. They particularly enjoy opportunities to sing familiar rhymes and songs. Older children's literacy and mathematical skills are developing well. They competently count, identify shapes, explore size and use positional language. Children can recognise letters and write their own names.
