This provision is good

 The management team uses additional funding effectively to support children's good progress. For example, they have developed a lending library for parents to support their children's learning at home.  The management team supports their staff well through appraisal, supervision and staff meetings. Staff attend training that helps them to manage children's behaviour. For example, they encourage children to talk about their own emotions and how others may be feeling.  Children develop positive relationships with staff and demonstrate that they are emotionally secure.  The management team and staff support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities very well. They work with parents and other professionals to develop a targeted support plan to promote children's individual needs.  Staff responsible for overseeing the learning and development of the nursery monitor the progress made by groups of children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The management team and staff work well together to promote good-quality childcare. Safeguarding is effective. The manager ensures that staff receive child protection training yearly to keep their knowledge up to date. This helps them identify the signs of abuse and where to report any concerns regarding children's welfare and safety. Staff work well with schools that children move on to, helping to support consistency in their learning. They invite teachers to the nursery and go with parents when they are deciding which school to send children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Parents comment positively about the nursery and say how much their children have grown in confidence since starting. The management team involves staff, parents and children in evaluating the effectiveness of the nursery.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified and play alongside children, getting to know them well. They use observations and assessments of children's learning to identify what they need to learn next. Staff share information with parents about children's care and learning and receive information from them about their child's interests at home. Children are gaining skills that will prepare them well for the next stage in their education. Staff encourage babies to develop their physical skills. For example, they encourage them to hold onto objects to reach a standing position. They move slightly away from the child, holding out their hands to encourage them to take steps towards them. Staff encourage younger children to learn to share with others when they play alongside them. They introduce counting and compare quantities of objects when children play with dough and buttons. This helps children to develop their mathematical skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop a strong sense of belonging. For example, staff display photographs of children's families. Children hold and look at these to promote their emotional well-being. Staff encourage children to be independent. For example, they encourage children to cut up fruit for snack time and to serve their hot lunch. Staff provide opportunities for older children to develop their understanding of living things and life cycles. For example, they show children tadpoles and talk to children about how they will turn into frogs. Children develop an awareness of their local community. Staff invite people from different occupations to come and speak to the children.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are at their appropriate stage of development for their age and make good progress. Babies are keen to explore the indoor and outdoor environment. Staff provide them with their own space outdoors that includes age-appropriate equipment and resources to promote their safety. Older children demonstrate good social skills. For example, they involve other children as they show off their dance moves.
