This provision is good

 Staff use the good knowledge of the children's interests to plan opportunities and experiences that they know children will enjoy. As a result, children are eager to take part and make good progress in their learning.  Children behave well and are kind and considerate towards one another. For example, they share resources and readily help one another when putting on shoes.  Staff make good use of challenging questioning to encourage children to be active learners, who are confident and think critically.  Children receive lots of praise and recognition for their efforts and achievements, which successfully promotes their self-esteem and emotional well-being.  Partnerships with parents and other professionals are positive.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The managers and staff fully understand their roles and responsibilities to help keep children safe. Leaders use efficient systems for the recruitment, induction and ongoing support for staff, to help ensure children are cared for by suitable adults. 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. Staff are deployed well to supervise children and pay close attention to health and safety. They are vigilant and carry out daily checks on the premises to ensure that all areas used by the children are safe and suitable. The manager evaluates 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. Staff work effectively with other early years providers and outside professionals to meet children's needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff carefully monitor children's learning, make accurate assessments and use these to plan children's next steps. They plan purposeful activities that encourage children to explore and investigate. Staff provide children with a range of toys and activities which motivates them to learn. For example, younger children enjoy exploring water and sand play, supporting their curiosity and imagination. Children develop good early reading skills to support their future learning. For example, they confidently recognise letters and have a keen interest in books. Staff place a high priority on enhancing children's communication and language skills. For instance, staff encourage children, including babies, to join in with favourite songs and rhymes. Children have fun painting on the wall outdoors with water, using brushes. Older children talk about how the water disappeared in the sun. Babies benefit from having plenty of space to develop their physical skills and mobility.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Each child has a key person with whom they develop a bond, helping them to settle quickly into nursery life. This helps support their emotional well-being effectively. Children develop healthy lifestyles. For example, all children benefit from eating nutritious food and have regular access to the outdoor space, which helps their physical coordination and large movement skills. Children develop very good self-care and independence skills. At lunchtime they serve their own food, carry their plates and pour their own drinks with competence.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities make good progress and are well prepared for school. For instance, older children learn about phonics and mathematical concepts, such as shapes and numbers. Children are confident communicators, who enjoy engaging in meaningful dialogue with staff and guests at the nursery and excitedly share their experiences.
