p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff confidently fulfil their role to protect children from harm. They know what to do should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. Leaders implement robust recruitment procedures to help assure the suitability of adults working with children. They highly value their staff and provide regular and effective support to help staff improve their knowledge and skills. Leaders are highly reflective. They gather the views of parents, children and staff to help identify the strengths of the nursery and areas to improve. Leaders regularly review the progress children make, both individually and for the different groups of children that attend. This helps to identify any gaps in provision. Additional funding the nursery receives is used effectively to support children's good progress. Leaders establish strong partnerships with other professionals. This helps to provide consistency in care and learning for children,

especially children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff talk to children as they play. They ask a range of questions to encourage children to talk about their experiences. Staff working with babies name objects and describe actions to help them understand. They sensitively repeat words and sounds they make. Older children repeat new words as they play, such as 'squishy' and 'squidgy', as they knead and sculpt play dough. Children show a strong awareness of numbers. They accurately count 15 balls of play dough and frequently use numbers in their play. Children show high levels of concentration when they listen to stories and sing songs together.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children thoroughly enjoy nursery and are deeply engaged in purposeful activity. Staff promote equality throughout their practice. Children show respect and build friendships with each other. Staff teach children how to use knives safely. They talk about the health benefits of eating fruit and vegetables as children help to prepare snacks. Children show good levels of independence. They serve their own food at snack times and mealtimes. They know they need to wear a sun hat and drink plenty of water, especially during exceptionally hot weather. Children frequently visit the local school. They join in with sports day activities. This is one way that staff work with teachers to help children prepare emotionally for the move to school.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress, given their starting points and capabilities. They gain key skills to support the next stage in their learning and the eventual move to school. Children are polite, and show respect to each other and the environment. Children are confident communicators who listen well and share their views. They gain good skills in literacy. They anticipate words and phrases in favourite stories and know some of the sounds that letters represent.
