This provision is good

 The management evaluates the setting effectively, considering the experiences of the children and the views of parents. They take into account previous recommendations and act on advice given. They reflect on their service and set clear actions and priorities for the future.  Planning is clearly adapted to children’s interests and information is regularly shared with parents to ensure they are involved in their child's development. Parents are given regular feedback and suggestions of what they can do to support learning at home.  The stimulating environment, combined with welcoming and cosy areas, help to ensure that children are happy to be at the setting. The exciting resources are used effectively to encourage children to use their imagination, be inventive and think for themselves.  Children achieve well and grow to become motivated, confident and sociable learners.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Management and staff give high priority to safeguarding training. They demonstrate a good knowledge of the relevant procedures and what to do if they have a concern about a child’s welfare. Staff are well qualified and the manager ensures that monitoring of their practice is targeted. This helps to ensure their continued professional development. The manager is ambitious for the setting and children. She uses research and training courses to improve her knowledge and explore new ideas. She provides a range of interesting and challenging environments and resources, putting children at the heart of what they do and thinking about how they learn. The management ensures that staff assess children accurately and monitor how each child is developing. This helps them to identify any gaps in children's learning. Focused planning ensures that these gaps close quickly.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Child-led learning and play are implemented well. For example, children make dough, following written and pictorial instructions, and mix paints. This helps them to develop skills across the areas of learning. Thorough information is gathered about children's starting points when they first start to attend. This helps their key persons build a good picture about each child and plan effectively to meet their needs. Transitions to new rooms and to school involves parents and the child. Children are well prepared and confident to take the next step in their learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Behaviour is good and children demonstrate the characteristics of effective learning throughout their play. The environment is used effectively to encourage children to explore and staff support them well. Children have access to fruit and water at all times. They develop independence skills, such as cutting their fruit, pouring their drinks and learning to regulate their intake. Children learn how to share, take turns and consider the needs of others. They gain an understanding of communities and the wider world. Parents are very happy with the nursery and feel confident that they can talk to staff and management if they have a concern, to support consistency in children's care. Children have warm and supportive relationships with staff and there is a lot of laughter and smiles. Children progress well in their personal development and are nurtured by caring and skilful staff.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children concentrate well and are keen to try new and more difficult tasks. They listen intently to instructions and advice, and can follow direction. Children are happy, relaxed and fully engaged in the activities they choose to take part in. They develop good language and communication abilities and acquire the skills and knowledge that prepare them well to start school.
