This provision is good

 Staff provide exciting and stimulating activities that motivate children to join in and learn. All children, including those who have special educational needs, make good progress from their starting points.  Staff and children develop close bonds and secure attachments. Children show they are emotionally secure and settle quickly into the calm learning environment.  The manager has a clear vision for the nursery and evaluates practice routinely. She uses feedback from parents, staff and children to identify and develop areas for improvement.  The manager and staff monitor children's progress effectively. They identify where children may need extra support and act swiftly to ensure all children develop well across all areas of learning.  Staff work closely with parents and there are effective strategies in place to keep them up to date about their children's progress.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager uses rigorous recruitment procedures to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. All staff have a good understanding of how to keep children safe and the procedures to follow should they have a concern about a child's well-being. The manager and staff complete daily risk assessments of all areas of the building to make sure it is safe and suitable for children to use. Staff supervision and support are effective. For example, the manager regularly observes staff practice to help identify any weaknesses and addresses these promptly. Partnerships with parents and other professionals are strong to help ensure there is consistency in children's learning and care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know children well and help them to develop new skills. They plan activities based around children's interests and next steps in learning. Children enjoy being creative and have lots of opportunities to develop their imagination. For example, children use a range of props to act out and retell their favourite stories, extending their learning as they think about what happens next. Staff support younger children's communication skills well. For example, staff use good, clear language and describe what children are doing.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well, are well-mannered, kind and considerate. Staff act as good role models for children and support positive behaviour. Staff support children to understand about taking carefully managed risks and teach them how to negotiate and compromise. For example, when playing in the ball pool, children learn to make space for each other before they jump in. Staff encourage children's positive attitudes towards others well. Children learn about and appreciate differences between themselves and others. Staff teach children effectively about the importance of healthy lifestyles. For example, children demonstrate good hygiene routines, such as washing their hands, have nutritious meals and have plenty of opportunities to play outdoors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children are active and enthusiastic learners and make good progress. Children who have special educational needs and those who are learning to speak English as an additional language receive a good range of support to help them quickly catch up. Children learn a range of skills to help prepare them for their next stage in learning. For example, they develop a good understanding of numbers and counting skills, such as when counting sides of shapes or how many towels are needed for the group. Children develop strong early literacy skills. For example, they sound out letters in their name and confidently write their own name on their drawings.
