This provision is good

 Senior staff and managers, supported by their early year's advisors, have taken successful steps in addressing previous weaknesses. Collectively, they are effective in their approach and have worked hard to implement change. Purposeful self-evaluation and their commitment to improving outcomes for children have led to significant and positive changes to the nursery.  The management team makes successful use of recently revised supervision systems. They have developed a targeted plan of professional development and regularly monitor staff's practice to support and nurture effective teaching, learning and reflective practice.  The quality of teaching is good, overall. Well-qualified staff understand how children learn. They use observations and assessments effectively to plan challenging and exciting opportunities that enthuse and ignite children's passion for learning.  Children receive lots of praise and recognition for their efforts and achievements which

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities, with particular regard to protecting children in their care from abuse and neglect. Furthermore, risk assessments are used effectively and are well implemented by the vigilant staff team. Additional changes to the building have been made to prevent unauthorised persons entering. All actions and recommendations from the last inspection have been successfully addressed. Managers complete regular supervisory sessions to ensure that staff are well supported and training needs are identified. Staff performance is regularly monitored and actions are put into place to help improve teaching. This helps to ensure the quality of teaching is of a good standard. Since the last inspection, the manager has reviewed all policies and procedures and staff have been retrained in different aspects of these. Recruitment procedures ensure the suitability

of staff. The managers have introduced a system to evaluate the progress of different cohorts of children. This helps to promptly identify any need for early intervention and supports all children to make good progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff support children well and encourage them to explore their own ideas and develop their critical-thinking skills. Toddlers use glue spreaders as they create puppets, persevering as they try to stick a variety of collage materials to their chosen paper. Older children are supported to develop their mathematical understanding further as staff model space and measure language when children are being creative. They ask children questions, for example, will it go above or below or do you need it to be longer or shorter. Staff use repetition to help reinforce children's learning and understanding. Children enjoy creating pictures with paints and water play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The nursery is a fun and welcoming place where children have fun and enjoy exploring together. On entry, settling-in visits are arranged and planned depending on children's individual needs. Healthy meals are planned to meet children's individual dietary requirements successfully. Staff sit with children during meal times and help to promote good social skills. Staff provide good opportunities for children to benefit from physical exercise and fresh air. Children learn to respect people's differences as they explore and celebrate their own cultures and beliefs and those of others. Children's behaviour is good. Staff effectively manage children's behaviour, according to their ages and stages of development.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and are well prepared for school. Young children learn to be part of a group, understand rules, share, listen and take turns. Older children follow complex instructions and communicate their ideas and feelings. They practise their writing skills and enjoy reading books.
