Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Secure procedures are in place to report any concerns staff have about children's welfare. Staff are very aware of the signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect. The manager tests staff's knowledge and updates them with any new developments in safeguarding practice and ensures their knowledge is good. Robust recruitment and vetting procedures ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Furthermore, staff complete detailed daily risk assessments that help to ensure children's safety. The management team has devised an effective system to precisely monitor and track individual and groups of children's progress. This helps staff to swiftly address any gaps in children's learning. The dedicated staff team is reflective and continually evaluate the provision they offer. They value the support of agencies, such as the early years team in the local authority, in setting actions for improvement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are happy, self-assured and confident learners who enjoy their time at the welcoming and nurturing setting. Staff track children's progress frequently. They assess and evaluate their development across all areas of learning. Staff respond very well to the needs of children in the nursery who need additional support. They model language effectively and help them develop their language skills. Children enjoy a good range of sensory and creative activities. They confidently complete puzzles and work out where each piece goes. Older children use their imaginations extremely well. They use play figures and enthusiastically pretend to play with cars and vehicles and they build train tracks with bricks. Staff follow children's interests and plan activities around their chosen themes. Children are excited as they celebrate events, such as the World Cup by taking part in a football match.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's emotional well-being is well supported in this small, friendly setting. Gradual settling-in sessions help children to get to know the environment, staff and other children before they start. Staff support children to adopt a healthy lifestyle. They encourage healthy eating and encourage children to be physically active both inside and outdoors. Children's behaviour is good. Staff are positive role models who speak to children in a kind and respectful manner. They develop a good rapport with the children and listen to them with genuine interest. Children learn how to keep safe and gentle reminders from staff help them to think of others as they play.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children develop the underpinning skills and confidence they need for their future success and starting school. They develop good social skills and learn about the needs of others and the wider community. Children's literacy and mathematical skills develop very well. They develop good listening skills, practise writing their name and begin to link letters and the sounds they represent.
