Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Leaders monitor children's learning effectively and target any gaps in individual or group performance. For example they have identified that children would benefit with more opportunities to use technology. Leaders and staff know how to keep children safe. Safeguarding is effective. The head teacher holds regular supervisory meetings with the staff and identifies their training needs. She encourages professional development and staff are supported to undertake further studies. Leaders embrace new ways of working and have implemented an initiative to encourage more physical activity for children, which helps them learn about their bodies. Parents appreciate invites to spend time in the nursery, for example they are invited to join cooking activities and have lunch with the children. Leaders evaluate practice well and consult with parents to identify aspects for improvement and to implement changes. For example, following demand from parents a

breakfast club and afternoon session are now available.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan the learning environment carefully, assess children's progress regularly and plan for their individual learning needs. Children explore a range of appropriate resources that support different areas of learning. Staff engage in play with children and talk about what they are doing, which helps their developing communication skills. Staff teach children to be confident and independent learners. Children move between the indoor and outdoor learning environments independently and express their needs well. Staff share information with parents in a range of ways, resulting in strong parent partnerships. Staff encourage home learning. For example they have a book lending scheme and parents add information to a notebook about children's weekend activities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff promote healthy lifestyles and provide nutritious meals and snacks. They use mealtimes to teach children about foods that are good for them. For example Children learn about fruit that grows on trees and how grapes turn into raisins. Children behave well, cooperate with their friends, include others in their play and are confident. Staff model good behaviour and talk to children about being kind. Staff form positive relationships with the children. They greet children warmly and are welcoming. Children seek out staff to talk about their day. Children take appropriate risks by using resources, such as a woodwork table and balancing apparatus. Children learn about the local community, for example when they regularly visit accommodation for older people where they sing.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children learn early writing and literacy skills. Many can write their name on the register and find their name card. Children are well prepared for their move on to school. Teachers from the local schools are invited to visit the nursery and children dress in school uniforms available in the role-play area. Children take account of what others say and follow instructions well. They progress well in their physical development.
