p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a strong understanding of their roles and responsibilities with regard to child protection issues. They take all the necessary steps to make sure families are supported and children are protected from harm. Robust recruitment, induction processes and ongoing checks make sure that staff are suitable to work with children. The management team has a clear and accurate view of the provision's strengths and potential areas for improvement. Children's progress and all aspects of practice are closely monitored. Additional funding is obtained and used highly effectively to improve learning outcomes for different groups of children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Children who are not making the expected progress for their ages are identified quickly and benefit from additional tailored individual support.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Throughout the nursery staff complete accurate assessments and identify what children need to learn next. They provide a wide range of stimulating activities indoors and outside based on children's interests and choices. Staff play alongside children and encourage them to experiment and explore using all of their senses. Staff model and promote children's communication and language skills very well. They provide clear explanations and demonstrations that help children learn to use resources and develop new skills. Some staff have exceptional teaching skills. They have the highest expectations of what children can achieve. Staff skilfully inspire children's imagination and interest. They continually challenge and help children to acquire higher levels of knowledge and skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are very responsive to children's emotional needs. They are exceptionally caring and children develop very strong relationships with them. Staff encourage children to make choices and help them to do things for themselves. Children in the baby room learn how to wash their own hands, and older children serve themselves food. Pre-school children have exceptional opportunities to challenge and extend their physical skills. For example, they are familiar with yoga poses and know how to position their bodies to achieve a number of these. All children benefit from spending time throughout the day playing outdoors and being active. Staff continually model welcoming and friendly behaviour. Children are sociable and eager to interact with visitors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make at least good progress. They develop the skills they need for future learning and the move on to school. Pre-school children are confident communicators and motivated learners who take an active part in planning and reviewing their learning. Younger children show great enjoyment in looking at books and listening to stories and singing. They listen and follow instructions well. Babies show curiosity and embrace opportunities to explore and experiment.
