Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff have a good understanding of the correct procedure to follow should they have concerns about a child. They maintain a safe environment and supervise children well. Staff benefit from regular supervision meetings with managers. They also have regular opportunities to update their professional development. This helps to maintain good outcomes for children. Managers monitor children's development. This helps to ensure that no child falls behind in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff discuss preferences and children's starting points with parents before children start at the nursery. They build on this with their own observations and use this to plan appropriate activities that match children's needs. Children are developing their speaking and listening skills. Staff reinforce baby's attempts at saying new words. Older children are encouraged to join in with familiar songs, rhymes and stories. Children who speak English as an additional language are supported well. Staff use clear instructions and signs and pictures to aid communication. Children learn to develop a good understanding of caring for animals. Regular outings to the neighbouring farm to visit the animals provide good opportunities for this. Staff actively get involved with children's play. They enthusiastically join in to help extend their learning.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children demonstrate that they feel safe and secure in this welcoming, friendly nursery. Younger children readily accept cuddles and comfort from their key person when visitors are present in the room. Staff working with babies ensure they follow individual routines from home. Good settling-in procedures help children to quickly build close and trusting bonds with staff. Children behave well. Staff support this good behaviour through praise and positive role modelling throughout the day. Children enjoy spending time outdoors where they have opportunities to be physically active and learn new skills, such as balancing, pedalling and negotiating space. Good hygiene routines are followed throughout the nursery. Children are reminded of the importance of washing their hands at appropriate times, such as before meals and after using the toilet. Children's health is further promoted through the provision of nutritious and healthy meals, and snacks that

follow children's individual dietary needs.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children progress well in their development. They are well prepared for their future learning. Children are happy, confident and independent. They successfully learn to take care of their own needs and develop good self-care skills. They enjoy making marks using a range of materials, including water, sand and paint. Children's imaginations are fostered well. They enjoy pretending to be doctors and nurses and help to care for one another in their pretend hospital. Children's mathematical skills are developing well. Children routinely count, compare and estimate during daily play activities.
