This provision is good

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Leadership and management show a strong commitment to evaluate their practice and secure continuous improvement to benefit children. Safeguarding is effective. Robust vetting, induction and risk assessment ensure children are safeguarded at all times. Practitioners have a very clear understanding of their responsibility to follow the safeguarding procedures in the event of any concerns about a child's welfare. Professional development is good and has a positive impact on outcomes for children. Partnerships with parents are good. Practitioners work closely with parent's to support children with additional needs and those children who speak English as an additional language. Assessments of children's learning are regularly shared with parents and they are encouraged to be involved in their child's learning at home. Parents are complementary about the nursery and practitioner team. They say they are happy with the care provided

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are lively and enthusiastic learners and demonstrate their skills and confidence as they play and learn. Practitioners plan activities around children's interests, for instance, by setting out dinosaurs and jungle animals. Practitioners interact well with children. They observe, model play and ask questions to help children to think and learn. Older children hunt for eggs and eagerly anticipate what might be inside. They count and sort the objects they find, and compare them with their peers. Children enthusiastically look for eggs in shredded paper and try to find the letter, which matches the first letter of their name. Babies benefit from having practitioners close by to guide and support them as they explore and use their senses. Children's creative and early writing skills are very apparent with some splendid work displayed in their rooms.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

All children show a strong sense of belonging in the nursery. This is evident as they all take part in the Easter show for their parents and proudly wear their Easter hats. Practitioners help children to get to know each other's names as they sing, clap and sign the hello song. Practitioners promote healthy lifestyles. Meals are freshly cooked and nutritious and children play outside each day. Children develop good independence they serve themselves to food at lunchtime and pour drinks. Practitioners teach children how to keep safe and share resources in a safe way. Children learn about the needs of others and the world around them. They enjoy outings in the local area and visit the park.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and gain a secure foundation for their eventual move on to school. They show a positive attitude towards learning and develop high levels of confidence and independence. Children's early mathematical and literacy skills are promoted well. They learn to count, compare, and recognise letters and their sounds.
