This provision is good

 Since the last inspection the management team has put in place clear procedures for monitoring the progress of children. This successfully identifies any weaker areas in their learning and development, and strategies are swiftly put in place to ensure all children make good progress.  The management team seeks the views of staff and parents to help identify strengths and weaknesses in the nursery. They use well-targeted plans to help ensure ongoing developments and improvements.  Staff plan a range of challenging activities and skilfully play alongside children to build on their existing skills and capabilities. Good-quality resources are organised well and children are encouraged to make independent choices and lead their own play.  Staff are kind and caring, and implement the key-person approach effectively. They get to know children well and are attentive to their individual needs. Staff take positive

She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the nursery.  The inspector spoke to a number of parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager follows safe recruitment procedures to ensure all staff are suitable to work with children. They all know the signs which indicate that a child might be at risk of harm and the correct actions to take in various safeguarding situations. Risk assessments are thorough, and detailed written policies are used effectively to help keep children safe. The manager has worked hard with her staff to address all actions and recommendations raised at the last inspection. For example, the introduction of more robust supervision meetings to develop staff knowledge and identify training needs is improving practice and outcomes for children. Staff are strongly committed to continuous improvement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified and have a good knowledge of child development. They promote children's mathematical development well. For example, children count and sort the number sponges before washing the bicycles and scooters. They use fishing rods to catch the numbered fish and introduce concepts, such as 'more than' and 'less than'. Babies show a keen interest in exploring their outdoor environment. Staff develop babies' physical skills when crawling to catch the bubbles. Children enjoy being able to make their own choices and having the time to follow through their play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are very happy and confident in nursery. Parents are extremely pleased with the care their children receive, and the welcoming atmosphere of the nursery ensures strong partnerships are quickly established. Children understand the importance of good hygiene practices and skilfully attend to their own care needs. They learn how healthy food and regular exercise contribute to a healthy body. Children visited the local dentist and learned how to clean their teeth properly. Staff offer clear and consistent reminders that support children to behave well. Strong partnerships exist between the nursery and the local school, which supports positive transition arrangements for children as they move on to school.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children develop key skills and abilities needed for their future learning. For example, they learn to recognise their name on coat pegs and place mats. Children learn to take turns and use good manners when communicating with staff and with their friends. They develop good imaginative skills as they pretend to be at the beach, bury their feet in the sand and talk about their holidays. Children are happy to learn and enjoy their experiences at nursery.
