This provision is good

 Staff regularly observe and assess children's progress successfully. They accurately plan activities that reflect children's interests and next steps in learning.  Staff are kind, nurturing and very attentive to children's needs. They know each child well and take positive steps to help all children feel settled and secure.  Staff are good role models for children. They teach children how to value and respect others. Children show good manners. They learn to share, take turns and play cooperatively.  Staff promote good communication and language skills. For instance, they encourage younger children to repeat words back to them to help increase their vocabulary and teach older children to link letters and their sounds.  The management team has good partnerships with external agencies. Professionals regularly come into the nursery to work with staff, children and parents. All children make good progress from their individual starting points.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff know what to do and whom to contact if they have a concern about children's welfare. Recruitment procedures are thorough. For example, inductions and ongoing discussions help to ensure that staff continue to be suitable for their roles. The management team monitors children's progress effectively and helps to close any emerging gaps in their learning. They supervise staff well and meet with them regularly to identify any areas where they can offer support. For example, staff are now more aware of how to plan activities that interest and motivate children. The manager and staff seek the views of parents and children to improve the provision and outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide good opportunities for children to use their imagination. For example, children pretend to cook meals for each other in the mud kitchen. The outdoor learning environment extends the range of skills children acquire effectively and enhances how they learn. For example, children learn how to grow food and flowers and explore places where insects live. Staff consistently follow children's lead and respect the decisions they make. The manager makes good use of funding to improve outcomes for individual children. Staff form strong partnerships with parents. For example, they share information between the setting and home to provide strong continuity in children's learning. Parents say that their children love coming to the nursery.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The manager and staff support children's well-being effectively. For example, staff praise their achievements, listen to children and respect their views. Children form close friendships and enjoy playing with others. For example, they happily work together to connect a train track. They work as a team and help their friends that are 'stuck in the mud'. Staff actively teach children how to stay safe. For example, older children learn to use a range of tools well and younger children move down slides in different ways. Staff reinforce children's understanding of healthy lifestyles successfully. For example, they teach children what foods are good to eat and skilfully link this to healthy eating at home.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop a range of skills that prepares them well for the move to school. This includes children who learn English as an additional language, those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who receive additional funding. Children practise their early writing skills in a number of ways. For example, younger children wash their 'cars' and make marks with brushes and older children practise writing their name. Children show persistence, enthusiasm and great motivation to learn.
