p.1

This provision is good

 Children are enthusiastic and motivated to learn. Staff use their observations of children effectively to plan a broad range of activities and learning experiences to successfully meet their learning needs. Children make good progress.  Partnerships with parents, external agencies and other professionals enable staff to meet children's individual needs well and ensure positive outcomes for children.  The manager uses self-evaluation successfully and involves her staff in identifying areas for development and ensuring continuous improvements.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching and the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector and the owner/manager observed children during activities and completed a follow-up discussion about children's learning and progress.  The inspector held a meeting with the manager and spoke to staff, children and parents.  The inspector sampled a range of documentation, including children's learning records and safeguarding procedures.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager and staff have a good knowledge and understanding of child protection issues and are clear about their role and responsibility to keep children safe. They know what to do if they had a concern about a child's welfare. Safeguarding is effective. The manager monitors staff's practice and ongoing suitability effectively through appraisals and observation of their practice. Staff keep the parents up to date about their children's progress and provide them with good information and ideas to support children's learning at home. The manager and staff use effective systems to monitor children's progress, which helps them to swiftly address any identified gaps in learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children thoroughly enjoy attending the nursery and, on arrival, settle quickly with an activity of their choice. The manager and staff support children's communication and language skills effectively. Through discussion, they introduce new words to increase children's vocabulary and understanding. For example, staff use words such as 'pupil' as older children look in a mirror to identify their facial features. Staff support older children's mathematical language successfully to count and use simple calculations. For example, they add one more to the number 14 to work out the day of the month. Staff support younger children well to enjoy exploring and investigating. For example, children use their imaginations well as they make pictures with paint and conkers.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are sensitive to children's individual needs and support their emotional well-being effectively. They use information gathered from parents effectively so that children feel safe and secure. For example, staff follow younger children's home routines for eating, sleeping and changing nappies. Staff are good role models for children and use high levels of praise and encouragement, which boosts children's confidence and self-esteem. Children have daily opportunities to benefit from fresh air and exercise. They learn the importance of healthy eating as they enjoy home-cooked meals and talk about foods that are good for them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children develop good skills for their future learning and in preparation for school. For example, they enthusiastically help to tidy away the toys, showing a clear understanding of expectations. Older children follow instructions and develop their independence well as they complete tasks for themselves, such as putting on their coat before going outdoors to play. Younger children begin to feed themselves. Older children show an interest in letters and sounds, and learn to write familiar words, such as their name.
