p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider conducts the required checks on all staff to ensure that they are suitable to work with children. Staff have a good knowledge of how to support children's welfare and safety and are clear about the recording and reporting procedures. They undertake thorough and regular checks on the premises and resources to keep children safe. Managers observe staff regularly and give them specific feedback to help them improve the quality of their practice. For example, staff receive good support and attend courses to strengthen their skills. They share their knowledge with their colleagues to benefit children's learning. Managers seek the views of staff, parents, children and other professionals to maintain a good service.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff generally plan and provide a range of interesting activities and resources that motivates children's learning. Children have good attitudes to learning and relate well to each other and staff. They use their imagination well. For example, they create colourful pictures using collage resources and can explain what they have made. They explore different musical instruments and the sounds they make, sing and learn new words and rhymes. Children enjoy exploring books. For instance, they use props and the language of books to talk about their favourite pictures and characters. Staff interact well with children, listen to their views and act on their suggestions to support their communication and language skills. Children listen attentively and respond well to instructions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models for children. For example, they support children's social and emotional skills well. Children learn to share resources fairly and take turns. Staff help children adopt healthy lifestyles. For instance, children know about the importance of personal hygiene and that fruits and milk are good for them. They serve themselves and help tidy up after meals. Children enjoy active play in the outdoors and benefit from fresh air and social interaction with their friends. For example, they steer scooters safely and learn to balance on stilts with confidence. Staff promote children's awareness of safety. For example, they undertake fire drills so children know how to leave the building calmly and safely in an emergency, and children learn how to cross roads safely, such as through outings and role-play activities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and any gaps in learning are closing rapidly. Children become independent. For example, they learn to put their coats on, look after their belongings and self-register when they arrive at nursery. Older children learn to count, recognise numerals and confidently solve problems. They care for the environment and know that certain plants grow from seeds and need water and light to grow.
