p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The acting manager is capable and proactive. She seeks guidance from the local authority adviser. Safeguarding is effective. Staff are trained in child protection and understand how to keep children safe from harm. They know the procedure to follow should they be concerned about the welfare of a child. The acting manager and acting deputy manager monitor the assessments that staff make and identify any gaps in children's learning. The acting manager ensures that all staff are trained in paediatric first aid and that accident records are fully documented. Staff keep accurate records of children's attendance. This is monitored by the acting manager. Additional funding is used effectively to help support good outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know children well. They make accurate assessments of children's development and use these well, overall, to plan experiences to support their learning. Staff support children's developing language and understanding of the world effectively. Children show good levels of concentration. They use construction kits to build long tubes and then look through these. Staff introduce new vocabulary and provide an explanation of how telescopes are used for looking at things far away. Boys play imaginatively with dinosaurs. They use books well to search for information about dinosaurs and fluently describe how the diplodocus has a long neck and the triceratops has three horns.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide daily opportunities for children to develop their physical skills. They encourage children to move their bodies to music and ensure they spend time outdoors in the garden each day. Younger children show delight as they join in parachute games with staff. Older children skilfully ride tricycles at speed, displaying good balance, coordination and control. Children confidently approach visitors to ask them their name and why they are here. They feel comfortable and safe in the nursery. Staff support young children's independence well as they encourage them to pour their own water from the jug into their cup. Staff provide clear expectations that children sit at the table when eating food. Children use good manners, are very polite and behave well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good or better progress in their learning. This includes children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, those who speak English as an additional language and those who receive additional funding. Children sing enthusiastically and display a good knowledge of nursery rhymes. They also enjoy listening to stories. Older children write their own name, recognise different letters from the alphabet and correctly identify the initial letter sounds that a range of words begin with. Children are developing the skills they need for the future, including starting school.
