Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff follow up-to-date child protection and safeguarding procedures and share these with parents. They are very confident in their duty to protect and safeguard themselves and children. Staff's suitability is closely monitored by the manager. She conducts thorough induction training with staff and continuously monitors their practice with regular observations of teaching and supervisory meetings. Qualified staff are good teachers and take part in ongoing training to boost their skills. They closely track children's progress with the manager to ensure children's good progress. Staff seek the views of parents to constantly improve the services for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, staff observe and monitor children's progress well. They identify children's skills and plan educational programmes to promote their development. For example, children enjoy dressing up and staff provide them with hats, gloves and socks during a discussion about the weather. They have fun while trying on items, looking in mirrors and learning how to dress appropriately in colder months. Staff provide parents with good information about their children's learning at nursery. Parents are happy with their children's developing language and vocabulary. Staff ask appropriate questions, read and sing with children. Children use their creativity and imagination well, and they comfortably make steady progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff obtain detailed information from parents about children's care requirements, family preferences and medical needs. Children settle quickly and build strong bonds with their peers and staff. Children's backgrounds are valued and respected. For example, staff teach them about festivals, cultures in their community and they celebrate family life. Children enjoy lovely interactive displays with photographs from home. Parents are extremely happy with the care their children receive and highly praise the staff's dedication. Children's health is promoted well and staff teach children the importance of living healthy lifestyles. For example, children are provided with healthy meals and exercise and they enjoy outdoor play. Children are independent, confident and happy at nursery.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy a good balance of adult-led and child-led play and activities. For example, they create a 'restaurant' area with staff and then enjoy pretending to cook, take orders and serve each other. All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, communicate well during play. Young children develop their language, social skills and knowledge about the world with staff and their peers. Children's individual learning styles are effectively promoted. They are developing their skills across all areas of learning and are effectively prepared for school.
