This provision is good

 The well-qualified team has a good understanding of how children learn and develop. Staff make regular and precise assessments of children's learning.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Managers and staff have a secure knowledge of the procedures to follow should they have concerns about children's welfare. Staff receive regular child protection training. They are aware of their duty to protect children from being drawn into situations that put them at significant harm. Attention is given to staff's training and development to ensure that they continue to maintain good outcomes for children. All staff hold paediatric first-aid qualifications. Parents spoken to on the day of inspection are extremely happy with the nursery. They say the staff are wonderful and really get to know their children well. Staff build strong partnerships with local schools children move on to. They share information which helps to promote continuity of care between the settings.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children's progress is monitored thoroughly and any gaps in learning are quickly identified and planned for. This ensures that no children fall behind in their learning. Staff interact well with children as they play. They effectively promote children's communication and language skills. Staff working with babies reinforce new words and staff working with older children engage them in conversations throughout the day. Older children talk about what they enjoy at nursery, including playing in the garden and spending time with their friends. Children participate in interesting activities to help develop their creative skills, such as making their own play dough. Staff use the garden well to offer children an extension to their indoor learning environment. Children delight in playing with water, building large towers with bricks and learning to negotiate space on tricycles.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff gather important information from parents before children start at the nursery. They use this information well to help ensure children's routines from home are followed. Children's behaviour is good. From an early age they learn about sharing and taking turns. Staff use frequent praise and encouragement to reward children for their achievements. Staff help children to learn about the benefit of good hygiene practices. They routinely talk to the children about the importance of washing their hands to wash away the germs that may make them poorly. Food provided is healthy, nutritious and supports children's individual preferences.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those in receipt of funding, make good progress. Children develop their imagination skills. They enjoy pretending to be doctors and nurses and tending to staff's imaginary injuries. Children develop a love for books, they enjoy listening to their favourite story. Children learn to count, compare and estimate during cooking activities. This helps to promote their early mathematical knowledge.
