Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Rigorous recruitment and induction procedures ensure that all staff are suitable to work with children. Staff have a good knowledge of how to support children's welfare and safety and are clear about the reporting procedures. For example, they undertake thorough and regular checks on the premises and resources to help children remain safe and secure. Leaders observe staff regularly and focus well on children's learning. They set challenging targets for staff to help strengthen their skills. Staff receive good support and training to improve the quality of their practice. The impact of this is evident in the improvements that the nursery has made since the last inspection. For instance, staff help children to improve their attention, speech and listening skills. Leaders seek the views of staff, parents, children and others to improve their service. Parents are very pleased with the good progress their children make.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan and provide a wide range of interesting activities and resources that motivate children's learning. Children have positive attitudes to learning and respond well to instructions. They enjoy imaginative play. For example, they create their favourite models purposefully and make suggestions on how their friends can improve their work. Children engage well in songs and stories and use the language of books to talk about their favourite pictures, characters and events. They explore musical instruments and dance to music. Staff work very well with relevant agencies to help ensure that children receive the appropriate support they need to learn and develop.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are caring and have an attentive manner. For example, they help children to respect the views and feelings of others. Children mix well and play together in harmony. They enjoy various opportunities to help them learn about different people, communities and their cultures. For example, they take an active part in cultural events and try different foods. Staff help children to learn about the benefits of eating nutritious meals and the importance of personal hygiene. Children enjoy energetic and active play in the garden and benefit from fresh air and social interaction with their friends. For example, they remind their friends to climb the apparatus and slide safely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and any gaps in learning are closing rapidly. Babies learn new words and explore resources safely. Children learn to share toys, take turns and help tidy resources. Older children write their names correctly and independently. They are observant of the changes that happen to the weather around them. For example, they show sensitivity to other people who might need to work in freezing conditions.
