This provision is good

 Children settle happily into the nursery. They are kind and caring towards each other. They have good relationships with staff and each other. Children are keen to join in with the inviting range of toys, activities and experiences available to them.  Children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language are supported well by staff.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff attend regular safeguarding training, to enhance and keep their knowledge and understanding of child protection up to date. They know what to do if they suspect that a child is at risk of harm. There are robust recruitment and vetting procedures to check the suitability of staff working with children. Staff benefit from regular supervision and are very committed to developing their own skills and knowledge. Staff training has had a positive impact on the nursery. Staff complete risk assessments of the environment and check the toys, resources and equipment daily. The management team routinely evaluates the nursery, gathering feedback from staff, parents and children. It develops realistic action plans to make continual improvements to its current practice and enhance children's development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good knowledge and understanding of the children's individual development. They use good teaching skills to interest and engage children, and to help them achieve their next steps for learning. Through observation and monitoring, staff plan activities that help children make good progress. Staff spend time interacting, talking and listening to children, who feel valued and appreciated. Children recognise their written name and attempt to write it. They develop their mathematical skills through daily routines, such as counting at snack time and jumping outside. Children gain good physical skills and hand- eye coordination skills; for example, when they throw and catch balls with each other.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop good independence skills. For example, they confidently move around the nursery selecting their own choice of activity and concentrate when persevering with a task. Staff manage children's behaviour consistently to help them develop good social skills and positive attitudes. Staff teach children to make healthy choices. For example, children understand the need to wear coats to keep warm during cold weather and drink water when they are thirsty. Children practise their skills in balancing, climbing and negotiating spaces with friends. For example, they skilfully use the indoor climbing frame, ride on the see-saw and play outside balancing on stepping stones.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children learn key skills in readiness for their move to school. For example, children are independent, share toys and confidently talk to each other and staff. They use good mathematical skills during everyday play. They talk about size, numbers and shapes and problem solve. Children, including those who have SEN and/or disabilities, those who speak English as an additional language and those who receive additional funding, make good progress in their learning from their starting points.
