p.1

This provision is good

 The manager and staff effectively support older children's developing self-esteem. For example, they praise children, building their confidence and emotional well-being, helping them feel secure.  The younger children form warm, close, relationships with staff. They develop confidence to explore in the safe and welcoming environment.  The manager and staff track and monitor children's progress well. For example, they effectively identify any gaps in learning early, and provide individual plans to help ensure all children make good progress.  The staff have good partnerships with parents, other professionals and the other early years settings that children attend. This helps to provide consistency in children's care and learning.  The manager effectively keeps staff up to date with legislative and practice changes.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager has attended training and ensures staff know what to do if they have concerns about children's welfare. The manager knows who to contact and the local authority procedures to follow. Staff take part in the self-evaluation process and help to identify ongoing areas for improvement. The manager encourages them to share ideas and their good practice. She has reflected on how to best use methods to thoroughly assess and review children's ongoing development, and introduced a system for checking how well children engage in play. The staff team are well qualified and have a good understanding of how children learn and develop.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a very good understanding of children's abilities and interests. They use this knowledge effectively to plan a range of activities, which support children's learning in all areas. Staff use their interactions well to extend learning. For example, staff make good use of the younger children's interest in stories to extend their language skills. They help them to name the different animals in the story and ask what sounds each animal makes. Staff effectively help older children to develop their early counting skills and to learn about different sizes and shapes. Children gain a good understanding of the world, for instance, as staff teach them about different places and traditions around the world.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and clearly have a strong sense of belonging in the nursery. Staff work with parents to help children settle well, ensuring they feel secure. Children are well supported to do things for themselves. For instance, they put on their coats, help themselves to snacks and pour their own drinks. Children are motivated to learn, confident to select toys and resources, and enjoy play in the outdoor area. Staff carry out full and comprehensive risk assessments covering all parts of the nursery, to keep children safe. Hygiene practice is good and children are provided with well-balanced meals and snacks effectively supporting their well-being.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children, including those with a range of different needs, are generally working comfortably within the typical range of development for their age and ability. Younger children develop good physical skills and begin to practise their early communication skills well. Older children become independent in their health care skills and develop good confidence and self-assurance. Children have a good range of experiences and enjoy imaginative play and art and craft activities. For example, they relish using the pretend food to cook meals and have fun making cakes with the sand. Children gain the skills they need for the next stage in their learning and for moving on to school.
