p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Leadership is strong. Safeguarding is effective. Staff are vigilant in their supervision and carry out daily checks to identify any potential hazards. The manager and staff know to follow the child protection procedures to help keep children safe. Recruitment procedures are effective and help to ensure that staff are suitable. There are robust procedures for monitoring the quality of teaching and the progress children make. The performance of staff is reviewed constructively to help them develop their teaching skills and identify any required training. For example, the manager identified a need for staff to attend training on how to teach language skills effectively. This has had a positive impact on children's speaking skills, which has helped children to communicate more.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified and understand the diverse ways in which children learn. They provide activities that appeal to children's interests. Staff are enthusiastic and interact in positive ways to promote learning. Staff provide a wide selection of materials to help children with their small-muscle skills. For example, children explore play dough, pour water into containers and make swirly patterns in the sand. Staff use these opportunities effectively and encourage children to write their name and develop their mathematical skills. Children develop good creative skills through a range of activities, such as painting dinosaurs. Two-year-old children enjoy an array of songs and stories. Staff use actions and props to help them concentrate and to encourage them to take part.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a well-resourced, welcoming and friendly environment that promotes children's care and learning well. Children's behaviour is good. Staff place a high priority on helping children gain valuable social skills. Children are well mannered and kind to each other. Children develop an awareness of a healthy lifestyle. They are encouraged to be physically active, choose healthy foods to eat and follow good hygiene routines. Staff help teach children to be safe through the daily routine. They learn road safety when they go on trips to the park or library. Staff teach children very well about the community and about diversity. The systems in place to help children move between rooms within the nursey or to school are effective.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who speak English as an additional language and funded children, make good progress in their learning. Children are acquiring key skills for future learning. Children are confident and independent and demonstrate increasing abilities to communicate their feelings. Older children are developing good early literacy and mathematical skills in readiness for school.
