Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of child protection issues. They are confident about the local procedures to follow if they have any concerns about the welfare of a child. Staff make regular checks of the environment to ensure it remains a safe place for children. The management team and staff are passionate about providing a high-quality nursery. Regular supervisions identify areas to support staff in their professional development. This enables staff to further develop their knowledge and skills, such as training to help support children with their communication. Parents' views and comments are very positive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff throughout the nursery provide a wide range of activities for children that is well matched to their age and current stage of development. They play alongside children, talking to them about what they are doing and extending their learning. Babies and toddlers enjoy joining in with action songs and exploring using their senses. Staff use a wide range of strategies to help children acquire the skills and knowledge to link sounds to letters. For example, they use mirrors to watch the way their mouths move as they make different loud and quiet noises. Staff make the most of every opportunity to develop children's mathematical skills. For example, at story time, they encourage children to count fruit in a basket and discuss what happens when a piece of fruit is taken away.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff know children well. Babies and young children thrive in this caring and nurturing environment. They are secure in their surroundings and demonstrate a sense of belonging. All children enjoy frequent opportunities to play in the newly developed and well-resourced outdoor areas. Babies enjoy developing their physical skills as they crawl on the artificial grass and pull themselves up to a standing position. Toddlers learn how to keep themselves safe. For example, they take it in turns to go down the slide. Children take responsibility for small tasks, such as helping to tidy toys away. They follow good hygiene routines. The nursery provides children with healthy and nutritious freshly prepared meals and snacks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. Older children listen carefully and follow instructions. They take turns, share and develop good friendships. Children engage enthusiastically in adult-led activities. All children are well behaved, have good manners and are clear about the expectations for behaviour in the nursery. They develop the confidence to try new activities and make new relationships. Children are well prepared for what they need to learn next and their eventual move to school.
