This provision is good

 The management team and staff have worked very hard to make good improvements within the nursery since the last inspection. They have successfully addressed all areas highlighted for improvement.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have completed safeguarding training and are knowledgeable about child protection issues. They are confident about the action to take to protect children and keep them safe from harm. Detailed risk assessments are followed to minimise potential hazards. Systems for the recruitment and vetting of staff to ensure that they are suitable to work with children are good. All staff have regular supervision meetings which provide them with opportunities to discuss their role and receive feedback on their performance. Staff benefit from regular opportunities to attend training. For example, recent training on behaviour management has helped staff support a number of children. The management team regularly monitors and reviews the progress that children make. This helps them to support staff in identifying any gaps in learning so that strategies can be put in place to close these gaps quickly.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use their observations and assessments of children to plan a wide range of interesting and stimulating activities that generally, engages and motivates them to learn. Staff use their good knowledge of how children learn as they interact with them during play. They use incidental learning opportunities very well. For example, as children play in the water tray they develop their mathematical skills when they add two groups of numbers together. Staff model learning skills well. They encourage children to think and predict what is going to happen when they add a tea bag to water or mix two colours of paint together.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are well behaved and respond very well to the consistent boundaries set. Staff are calm, relaxed and have high expectations of what children can achieve. Children are developing their independence skills very well. They make choices about what they want to do, help themselves to snack and serve their own food. Children are learning about how to stay healthy and safe. They learn about food that is good for them and why they need to wash their hands after visiting the bathroom and before meals. Staff recognise the importance of active outdoor play and make sure this is part of children's daily experiences. Activities are planned outdoors to ensure that it is a rich learning experience, especially for those children who learn better outdoors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who receive funded education, are developing their skills in readiness for school. They develop positive attitudes to learning and are eager to try new challenges. Babies are keen to explore the sensory bottles and press buttons on toys to see what happens. Children demonstrate good social skills and confidence in their abilities. They listen well, follow simple instructions and enjoy responsibility for carrying out simple tasks, such as putting on the egg timer as part of the tidying up routine. Children begin to recognise letters and sounds, and show a developing understanding that writing is for a purpose.
