p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Managers and staff have a sound understanding of child protection issues, including their duty to notify Ofsted of any significant changes within the agreed timescale. The nursery is secure and staff conduct daily safety checks to help reduce the risk of any hazards. This helps to protect children from harm. Managers ensure all staff are suitably vetted and most staff are well qualified. Managers supervise staff and they benefit from some training to help enhance their knowledge and skills. For example, all staff have recently received a safeguarding refresher. This has a very positive impact on the quality of care provided. Self-evaluation takes into account the views of parents, children and staff. Managers continually aspire to improve the provision and some clear targets for future development are set.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, staff are good teachers. They plan and provide a range of suitably challenging activities that promote children's interests. For example, children particularly enjoy opportunities to be creative. Staff help them to access painting and playdough. Children paint pictures using various colours and make models using different tools and materials. Staff interact with children positively. They talk to them, provide support and show them how the resources can be used. This helps to develop children's skills in expressive arts and design.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff promote children's well-being effectively. They sensitively adhere to children's individual routines. Staff encourage children to manage their own care needs. Children have privacy when required, as they learn to use the toilet or wash their hands independently. Staff provide children with a range of nutritious snacks and meals and talk to them about the benefits of eating well. Children enjoy physical activities outside, for example, they spend time climbing trees or swinging on tyres in the forest area. Staff manage children's behaviour in an appropriate way. They treat children equally and fairly allowing them to express their emotions. Staff teach children to follow the simple nursery rules. Children listen to instructions, they are polite and respect the boundaries set.

p.4

Outcomes for children are good

Overall, children make good progress in their learning. Children are confident. They enjoy helping staff and can play well alongside or with their peers. Children are developing good language skills. They can express their wants or needs. They also like singing and looking at books with staff. Pre-school children are developing good skills in literacy and numeracy. For example, they enjoy playing games involving letters and sounds. They can competently identify rhyming words. They also enjoy number rhymes and songs. They can use their fingers to work out one more or one less than numbers up to five. Children gain all the skills they need for the next stage of their learning and eventually school.
