This provision is good

 The provider and staff implement efficient procedures to promote children's safety and security.  Staff plan well for children's individual needs and interests, ensuring that all children make good progress in their learning.  Staff use good strategies to support children who are learning English as an additional language and others who are less confident speakers. For example, staff use resources to help children feel at ease and understand what is being said. Staff use displays to stimulate children's comments and questions.  The providers and staff have established partnerships with parents and other professionals to ensure children's all-round development needs are met. They also promote continuity of learning for children between the nursery and home.  Staff support children's understanding of diversity. For example, children learn about different festivals.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have attended safeguarding training to help them understand whether children might be at risk of harm. They are secure about their responsibilities should they have a concern about a child in their care. The providers, who are also the manager and deputy manager, have efficient recruitment and induction processes to help ensure that all staff are suitable for their role. The providers reflect on the quality of the provision well and know the nursery's current strengths. They encourage staff and parents to give their views in order to effectively implement improvement strategies and training to raise standards of teaching and learning. These include plans to develop further children's play experiences in the outdoor environment, for example.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff understand how to identify individual children's next steps in learning and plan purposeful activities to build on these skills. Staff use the outdoor area well to enthuse children to learn. For example, they provide resources that enable children to enjoy a range of sensory experiences. Children explore textures and experiment with sounds from mobiles made with hanging pans and wooden spoons. They also learn to create sounds with musical instruments. Staff provide regular opportunities for children to play and learn in a range of group situations. For example, they use circle-time sessions to encourage children to develop confidence and to participate in conversation with others in small and larger groups. Staff supply children with a variety of resources and offer opportunities to encourage their physical skills. Young children develop confidence in trying out new actions such as rolling balls. Older children gain increasing control over their movements

and an awareness of space when riding tricycles.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff gather information from parents about their children when they first attend the nursery in order to meet children's care needs and development effectively. Children are content, settle at ease and form secure attachments with their key persons and other staff. This supports children's emotional development well. Staff know children's dietary needs and ensure snacks meet with their requirements. They help children to understand the types of food that are healthy and good to eat. Children play in a clean environment where they learn the importance of good personal hygiene. Staff sensitively manage children's behaviour. They help them to share their toys and to care for their friends.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and development from their individual starting point. Older children recognise letters and some letter sounds in their name. Young children can name and recognise primary colours. Children show interest in shapes. They name simple shapes and begin to recognise them within the environment. Children are keen learners and ready for the next stage in their learning, including starting school.
