The provider follows a thorough recruitment procedure to help ensure staff are suitable to work with children. Staff use qualifications and further training to good effect to improve children's learning experiences. The manager implements effective systems to monitor children's progress. She quickly addresses any gaps in children's learning to ensure they make continued good progress.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff enthusiastically involve themselves in children's play. They skilfully interact to guide and extend children's learning. For example, staff help a group of older children to sort and organise small alphabet beads into the order of their names. Staff question children effectively to help them build on their thinking skills. For example, they ask children to estimate how much elastic they need to fit on the many colourful beads and make them into bracelets. Younger children become engrossed in role play and use the available resources well to support their imagination. For example, toddlers create an ice cream shop and prepare ice creams for their friends. Babies explore a variety of activities that stimulates their senses. For example, they investigate the feel of items in a treasure basket and experiment with the crinkle of shiny fabric.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children and babies are well cared for in this family feel nursery. They settle quickly, and familiar staff support them well and help them develop a strong sense of belonging. Staff help children adopt healthy lifestyles. For instance, they help children to brush their teeth after lunchtime and provide them with nutritious snacks and meals. Children behave very well. They demonstrate excellent manners and patiently take turns with toys and equipment as they play. Staff provide opportunities for children to be physically active. For instance, young children learn to climb up into the wooden pirate ship and older children skilfully pedal bicycles.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain a good range of skills in readiness for their future learning and their eventual move to school. They concentrate well and persevere at tasks. Older children learn to count and to write their names. Toddlers join in enthusiastically with action songs and rhymes. Babies show curiosity as they play with water, pouring it between pots and watching the boats float. Older children have fun hunting for fossils in the sand. 4 of 5
