Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider follows thorough procedures to ensure that all staff are suitable to work with children. Staff have a good knowledge of the safeguarding requirements and follow the correct procedures to protect children. Managers observe staff effectively and set them reasonable targets to help them develop the quality of their practice. Staff attend courses, observe each other and share their knowledge with colleagues to further improve learning for all children. This is having a positive impact on teaching. For example, staff have developed their understanding of how to help children use the sounds that letters represent to write words, such as their names, correctly. Managers take into account the views and comments of staff, parents and outside professionals to improve their practice. They ensure that the nursery continues to offer a good service.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a range of activities that enthuses children to learn. Children are well motivated to try new experiences. Staff role model play and help children learn how to handle resources safely. Children use their imagination well. For example, they explore utensils in the mud kitchen and are confident to share their thoughts about what they have made. Staff introduce children to new songs. Children enjoy new rhymes and dancing to music. They engage well in stories and use the language of books in their play. Staff hold discussions with children, follow their suggestions and support their language development effectively. Staff keep parents well informed about their children's academic progress and well-being. They work well with other providers when the time comes for children to move on to other settings, such as school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are strong role models for children. They support children's social and emotional skills well. They share their behaviour procedures with parents and children so that all are clear about the expectations. Children share toys fairly and take turns. Staff help children to adopt healthy eating habits. For instance, children understand that milk and fruit are good for them. They know that they need to eat slowly to keep from choking. Staff conduct regular and thorough checks on outings, the premises and resources to help keep children safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and any gaps in learning are closing. Young children learn to play with others and respond well to instructions. Older children are able to count and use good mathematical language to describe shape, size and length of objects around them. They show good levels of confidence at solving problems. Children know that plants need water and sunshine to grow and develop.
