Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Monitoring of the nursery is effective. The management team directly observes staff and provides feedback to improve their practice. Staff are supported well. The manager carries out annual appraisals and regular one-to-one meetings with staff. Staff are offered regular training and support. For instance, staff attended a course on understanding the development of two-year-olds which led to better practice. Safeguarding is effective. Staff know what to look out for that might be a cause for concern and know the procedures to follow to keep children safe. They are vigilant around children's safety. Staff check all parts of the nursery, toys and resources to protect children from harm. The manager has a comprehensive recruitment procedure to help ensure that staff are suitable for their roles.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, staff plan effectively to meet children's needs. They observe children regularly to use this information to provide stimulating and interesting activities. Children make good progress. Staff support children's understanding of the world successfully. For instance, children explore a range of natural textures and materials to help their creative development. Staff support babies' creative development effectively. For instance, playing musical instruments with children, and listening to and talking about different types of sounds. Staff teach children good communication and language skills. For example, they sing songs in French and English and use everyday opportunities to teach children new words. Staff provide good opportunities for children to develop their physical skills successfully. Children learn good skills, including jumping, balancing and climbing, at the local park, which they visit each day.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident and motivated to learn. Staff have caring, warm relationships with children and value each child as an individual. They know children well and provide activities based on children's interests, which children really enjoy. Children gain good independence skills. For instance, they learn to put on their own coats and shoes and have good personal care routines. Staff teach children well about safety. Children understand how to behave with care and caution when crossing the road and use tools and materials safely. Staff help children to develop healthy routines, such as eating well-balanced meals and taking daily physical exercise.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children have good respect for and understanding of others. They share and take turns as they play games and use resources. Children have good problem-solving skills. For instance, they complete puzzles and work out how to create models from construction sets. Children concentrate well and learn valuable skills to support their future learning.
