p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The management team and staff have a strong understanding of the safeguarding requirements. They know how to report any concerns, including in the event of allegations. Staff attend regular safeguarding training to ensure their knowledge of child protection is current. The management team monitors the work of staff and supports their professional development to achieve good standards of care and teaching. For example, it has made positive changes to the planning and assessment processes to improve outcomes for children. Self-evaluation is effective. The management team works closely with other professionals to identify what they do well and to prioritise areas for development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use precise observations and assessments to help plan many interesting activities, overall. For example, young children explore their senses as they play with 'foamy dinosaurs'. They smile and have lots of fun as they make marks using their fingers. Older children are keen to show what they know about letters and sounds. For example, during a group activity they sing and dance along to music, helping support their early literacy skills. Staff are skilful in developing children's communication and language skills. For instance, they talk clearly and repeat words to help extend their vocabulary. Children respond positively to this. Children develop their early mathematical skills effectively. They enjoy counting during play and see numbers around the nursery.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop their social and physical skills successfully. They exercise and have daily opportunities for active play in the garden. For example, younger children practise their balancing skills and they use stepping stones and slides, while older children show their confidence as they use the large equipment and test their skills on the 'wobble bridge'. Staff follow consistent hygiene practices and children take responsibility for their own personal care needs. Staff give children lots of praise and encouragement. This helps to support their emotional well-being and keeps them motivated to learn. Children increase their understanding of the wider world. For example, they have opportunities to hear and learn about their home languages. Children take part in purposeful activities to celebrate the similarities and differences of people in their community.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children gain good skills for their future learning. They are curious and learn to lead their own play independently. For example, older children enjoy pretend play with small- world animals, helping support their imagination and creativity. Children behave well. They share and take turns and show respect for their environment. Children are well prepared for the next stage in their learning, including their move to school.
