p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff have completed suitability checks and good measures are in place to monitor children's attendance. Staff have a secure knowledge of the possible signs of abuse and the action they need to take if they have a concern about a child's welfare. The provider and her deputy manager have high aspirations and a clear vision to take the nursery forward. Through effective action planning and evaluation processes, they closely monitor the provision and areas for development which helps to maintain consistently good standards. The staff team works very well together and staff support each other effectively. Staff are very happy and morale is high. Staff and managers monitor the development of all children individually and in groups to ensure any gaps are identified and intervention is sought swiftly.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are enthusiastic and engage well with the children, they effectively encourage them to be confident communicators. Older children predict and finish sentences and eagerly share their experiences from home with their friends. Younger children join in enthusiastically with familiar stories and rhymes. All children show a particular love for books and the written word. For example, toddlers and pre-school children sit together and share books and stories, pretending to read to each other. Overall, staff's knowledge of the children is used effectively to plan for their individual learning needs. Staff observe children as they play, assess their abilities and identify the next steps in their learning well. Babies and toddlers explore using their senses. They enjoy the feel of paint on their hands as they make prints and explore different materials hidden under shredded paper.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children learn about why it is important to have a healthy diet and they enjoy an extensive choice of healthy fruit and meals at snack and lunch time. Staff ensure children are given clear messages regarding the benefits of following a healthy diet. Children begin to manage their personal needs well. For example, they serve their own lunch and carry out tasks, such as hand washing before eating and after garden play. Children display respect for each other and staff. They learn to celebrate each other's differences and develop an understanding of people in the wider world.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress. They form strong attachments with staff and clear friendships develop between the peer groups. For example, they build in the construction area, working out who will be in charge, and dress up using the wide range of multi- cultural costumes, helping each other to fasten buttons and zips. Children gain the skills needed to help them as they move on to school.
