They know how to identify concerns and report these to the relevant agencies to help protect children from harm. Recruitment processes are robust ensuring suitable adults work with children. Staff receive good support, including induction, supervision and training, to enhance their practice and knowledge. Parents are highly complementary about the nursery and are very pleased with the progress their children make.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather important information from parents before children start at the nursery. They use this knowledge and their observations well to plan a range of interesting activities that helps children to make good progress in their learning. Staff encourage parents to support their children's learning at home, such as by taking home activities. Staff provide children with activities that are tailored well to meet their needs and next steps in learning. Children initiate their own play and follow their ideas. Staff join in with their play and children have fun. Staff build on children's learning effectively, such as by exploring ideas with them and asking open questions to prompt thinking and learning. Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported effectively to make good progress. Staff support children by modelling how to use materials, adapting activities to meet their needs and adding explanations to their play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff create a positive environment where children learn through play, make choices and develop friendships. They are good role models and are attentive to children's needs. They listen with genuine interest when children talk to them. Staff help children to learn about good behaviours. Children learn how to play safely, think about others, share and take turns. Staff praise children for their efforts and achievements. This encourages young children to independently carry out tasks, such as putting on boots and coats. Children spend time outdoors using a variety of equipment to develop their physical skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning, in relation to their starting points and individual needs. Children are confident, keen and enthusiastic learners. They develop good mathematical and literacy skills. For example, they identify colours and simple shapes. Children enjoy making marks using a range of materials, including water, pens and chalks. They also enjoy singing songs and sharing stories with adults. They are developing the key skills they need to support them with their move on to school.
