p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Managers encourage staff to attend appropriate and regular safeguarding training. Staff understand the nursery procedures and are confident about their responsibility to protect children. Managers and staff ensure that children play and learn in a safe environment. They conduct effective daily risk assessments, which are regularly reviewed. Managers review and evaluate risk assessments following any injuries or accidents. They use this information to help prevent further accidents. Managers have robust recruitment arrangements to help ensure staff's suitability. They meet with staff regularly to discuss their professional development and check there have been no changes to their circumstances. The staff are well qualified and make good use of available training to enhance their skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The quality of teaching across the nursery is strong. Staff effectively assess children's progress. They use this information to tailor planning to help meet each child's learning needs. For example, they provide enjoyable and exciting activities, such as making potions with cornflour, water and different coloured paints in large frying pans. Children mix, stir and experiment with the mixture, using their communication skills to talk about what they are doing. Staff promote children's confidence and speaking skills well. During group activities, staff encourage children to stand up and tell their friends what they have been doing and what makes them happy. Staff help children to learn about nature and the natural world, such as when they go for walks in the local community. Children use technology to enhance their learning. For example, they take photographs of different birds, animals and plants and then use the internet to identify their names.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are settled and content. They know who their key person is, but are equally happy to go to other adults for help or assistance. For example, babies enjoy cuddles and reassurance, which helps to build their confidence and self-esteem. All staff hold paediatric first-aid certificates and ensure that they record accidents and pass the records to management for monitoring purposes. Staff and managers work very closely with families to help identify and support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. A number of staff speak dual languages and are able to communicate with children and parents in their home language. Children and staff sit together at mealtimes and enjoy nutritious home-cooked meals, prepared on site by the nursery cook. Staff promote children's physical needs effectively. They make good use of local woodland areas and open spaces for both planned and child-initiated play experiences.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children acquire the skills they need in readiness for their next stage of learning, such as school. They make good progress in their learning, including those who speak English as an additional language. Children are independent and enjoy developing their own play. They articulate their feelings well. Children use numbers and counting in their play.
