This provision is good

 The manager is ambitious and has high expectations for staff and children. She values the views of staff and implements changes to improve outcomes for children.  Staff are good role models for the children and promote early communication and language skills well, for example, through singing and sharing stories.  The key-worker system is effective and staff build good relationships with children. Children are confident and independent learners, and enjoy their time at nursery.  Partnership working with parents is very strong. Staff build good relationships with parents and actively involve them in their children's learning to help them understand how to support this at home.  Children who have special educational needs (SEN) are supported well. Staff are committed to working in partnership with parents and other professionals to ensure each child receives the individual support they need to make good progress in their

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager provides good leadership and has recently made changes to the daily routine and the provision. She works with the staff team, listening to their ideas, and has implemented plans to improve partnership working with parents further and prepare children for school. Arrangements to monitor children's progress are secure. Leaders identified mathematics was an area that needed developing further. Staff training was arranged and a parents' workshop organised to help with ideas for promoting this at home. Staff are now more confident in their teaching of mathematics and the impact of this is starting to be monitored. Safeguarding is effective. All staff demonstrate good knowledge of what to do if they have concerns about a child. Staff are vigilant and deploy themselves effectively to ensure they provide effective support to all children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff build on children's interests and introduce good learning opportunities through children's imagined ideas. For example, staff take on the role of a patient so that children can be doctors. Staff talk to children about the instruments they use and explain what they are used for, encouraging children to think through their ideas and talk about what they are doing. Staff adapt their teaching approach to provide effective support and challenge to children. They model how to use the rollers with the younger children when making cakes from dough and encourage older children to work out how many candles they need to place on their cake.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's behaviour is very good, they know what is expected of them and share and take turns with their friends. Children's independence is promoted well. For example, every child, even the youngest children, clear away their plates after lunch, scraping waste and putting their cutlery in the bowl. Children change their shoes and put on their coats independently, showing good self-care skills. Staff support children's physical well-being. Children use the garden daily and learn how to use equipment safely. Children learn about good hygiene practices. For example, they use large toothbrushes with large models of their mouths to practise how to clean their teeth properly.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop early reading and writing skills for their future learning. For example, younger children make marks and patterns in the trays of salt while older children paint letters they recognise in their names. Children who need additional support use visual timelines and picture cards to help communicate. Older children recognise sounds and letters, and practise these through songs and story sessions. Children confidently use mathematical language in their play as they compare the size and length of their dough.
