p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff team have a good understanding of their role and responsibility to safeguard children's welfare. The management team monitors the ongoing suitability of staff well. Staff have a strong understanding of their responsibility to protect children from harm and neglect. Children's safety is well considered throughout the nursery. Staff take prompt action to ensure that any potential hazards are minimised. The manager embeds reflective practice into the self-evaluation process. The views of staff, parents and children are sought when planning for improvements. Action plans are in place for every area of the nursery that are achievable, in order to bring out continuous progress in the quality of care, teaching and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are skilful in their interactions with children and support individual development well. They support and develop children's literacy skills very well. For example, staff sound out letters that children paint onto cling film and then support them to repeat sounds and recognise letters in their name. Children concentrate well, listen to staff and copy actions. Staff encourage children's mathematical understanding well in play. For example, babies fill and empty containers in the sand and toddlers roll long and short worms in the play dough. Staff skilfully ask open-ended questions. Children's learning experiences are enhanced as they are given plenty of time to think and process the information before replying.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models for children and gently remind them of their high expectations. Children behave well and are consistently kind and considerate of others. Children's emotional well-being is promoted very well. Most staff are paediatric first aid trained and they record any accidents to children appropriately. Children develop excellent physical skills. For example, toddlers learn to roll tyres and balance on beams with support from staff. They have access to secure outdoor area and develop good attitudes to healthy eating and exercise. Children enjoy freshly cooked nutritious meals. Older children develop good levels of independence as they serve their own food and younger children learn how to feed themselves. Parents are happy with the nursery and describe staff as 'wonderful and caring'.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, children who speak English as an additional language and those who receive additional funding enjoy their learning and make good progress from their starting points. Young children explore new textures as they paint with different fruits and vegetables. Older children are delighted as they find big and little snails to live in their bug hotel. Children are well prepared for their next stages in learning and eventual move on to school.
