p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider undertakes the vetting checks on all staff to ensure that they are suitable to work with children. Staff have a good knowledge of safeguarding practices and are clear about the reporting procedures. The manager observes staff regularly and gives them specific feedback to help them improve the quality of their practice. Staff attend training courses and share good practice with their colleagues to benefit children's learning. This is evident in the way they support children's language development and help them express their feelings in a calm manner. The manager seeks the views of staff, parents, children and outside professionals to improve outcomes for all children. At the inspection, parents stated that they are happy with the good service staff provide, and that their children learn well and enjoy coming to nursery.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gain relevant information from parents and use their ongoing observations to establish children's starting points in their learning. They provide a range of good learning experiences to enthuse children to learn. Staff explain activities well to children. Children are well motivated to join in. For example, they use different construction tools safely to build their favourite models. Children create imaginative collage pictures. They are keen to show their work to staff who praise them for their good work. Staff introduce children to new songs and rhymes. Children sing eagerly, explore the sounds musical instruments make and dance to music. Staff read stories to children. Children handle books with care and confidently talk about their favourite pictures and characters.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models for children. For instance, they use praise to motivate children to behave well in positive ways, and support their social and emotional skills to good effect. They remind children that 'sharing is caring'. Children learn to share resources fairly and take turns. Staff help children adopt healthy living. For example, children know that milk and fruit help them grow and develop. They understand they need to wash their hands to get rid of germs. Staff conduct regular and thorough checks on the premises and resources to ensure that children can engage in both indoor and outdoor activities safely. Through outings, staff teach the children to learn to cross roads safely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and any gaps in their learning are closing. Young children socialise with others and respond well to instructions. Older children count, sort and match objects correctly. They know letters and sounds, and write their names correctly. Children care for living things. They are aware of the changes that happen to the weather around them. Children make good comments on what they see, feel or hear.
