p.1

This provision is good

 Staff create a safe, stimulating and accessible environment, helping to foster children's independent learning. At certain times, children can move between the indoors and outside. This facilitates their preferred learning styles and interests and contributes to the good progress they make.  Staff establish strong partnerships with parents and other professionals to ensure high levels of support and inclusion for children who have special educational needs.  Parents receive high-quality information and are positively involved in the life of the nursery, which is an essential part of the community. Their views are clearly valued and effectively gained, forming an important part of the nursery provision.  Staff effectively promote children's safety and their physical well-being.  Staff act as good role models and focus on promoting a positive atmosphere. This reflects in children's good behaviour and socialisation.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a good understanding of child protection issues, hazards are minimised well and there is robust vetting during recruitment of staff. Access to the nursery is stringently monitored and signs reinforce safe practices. There is a strong commitment to continuous improvement amongst all tiers of management and staff. They use many self-reflection tools, including audits, to review and develop the nursery practice. Written and verbal feedback from parents is highly complimentary. Staff's clearly designated roles and qualifications have a positive impact on outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan around children's interests and offer a good range of activities and resources to support children's active learning, exploration and investigation. Parents are regularly informed about and encouraged to support children's learning at home. Staff demonstrate effective teaching to build on children's learning. They adapt and add to the provision to meet the needs of children who have special educational needs. For example, they use visual aids and sign language. Children who speak English as an additional language make exceptionally good progress in their communication, language and literacy. Babies investigate sensory resources with intrigue and toddlers play imaginatively with cardboard boxes. Children aged two enjoy pouring water and filling containers and pre-school children work collaboratively during activities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Important information is exchanged between parents and staff. This helps staff to provide individually tailored care as children settle and keeps parents well informed. Children enter confidently and have secure attachments with staff. Babies delight in the warm interaction with staff, gurgling and babbling in response. Children develop independence and make choices during breakfast, snack and lunchtime. Staff provide fresh fruit and vegetables for parents to purchase through their green grocery scheme, provide healthy recipes and involve children in growing produce. Difference is valued and celebrated in many ways, including through outings to different places of worship. Visitors, such as police, fire service and road safety officers, help children to learn about keeping safe. Staff reinforce this through early learning safety programmes. Staff use fun songs and visual aids to reinforce routines, such as tidy up time. Children respond well to requests and delight in

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points. Those working below expected development levels are identified and supported well at an early stage. Children have a positive approach to learning and they confidently join in with activities. They are developing early skills that prepare them for moving on to pre-school or school. They readily take turns and play alongside others, negotiating and enthusiastically sharing ideas.
