p.1

The provision is good

n Parents regularly contribute to the nursery's self-evaluation. The management team uses this information effectively to reflect on the service it provides and drive forward improvements to children's learning experiences. n The manager carefully tracks and monitors children's progress and quickly identifies any gaps in learning. She puts timely strategies in place to help them catch up. This particularly supports children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities. Children's outcomes are improved well. n Partnerships with parents are strong. The manager and staff consistently devise strategies to help parents become involved in their children's learning in the nursery and at home. Children benefit from the continuity in their learning. n Staff are skilled at creating interesting activities and offer stimulating resources which engage and excite children. All children make good progress from their different

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager ensures that staff are confident in their understanding of the signs and symptoms which may give cause for concern about a child's welfare. Staff have completed training updates about how to identify any children who may be at risk of exposure to extreme ideas of behaviours. Effective recruitment procedures help ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. The manager immediately addresses any concerns which may arise in the nursery and has a clear understanding of the procedures to follow. The manager supports staff's professional development, for example, through ongoing supervision and training. Staff regularly share the skills and knowledge they gain to improve their practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy their time at the nursery. They excitedly participate in a wide range of exploratory activities. For example, they investigate brightly coloured stones, beads and crystals. Children learn about the natural world as they carefully examine a mushroom they find growing. Staff support children in learning how to keep themselves safe as they talk about how they use their eyes to look but do not touch. Staff effectively support children's physical development. Children delight in thinking about different ways of moving as they jump, stretch, slide and climb. Staff consistently support children's mathematical learning as they include numbers, shapes and sizes in different activities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children in learning about their similarities and differences, and celebrating diversity is at the heart of their practice. For example, families regularly share their experiences and cultures with the children and each other. Children's emotional well- being is carefully nurtured by staff, and parents say that they feel staff keep their children safe. Children learn to carry out simple routine tasks as they eagerly participate in 'tidy time' and scrape their plates after lunch. They learn about leading a healthy lifestyle as they eat nutritious, appetising food with relish. Children flourish in the warm and caring atmosphere created by staff.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident, self-motivated and sociable. They enjoy using their learning and seek to share their achievements with others. For example, they use their emerging writing skills to create words and pictures. They proudly call out 'tah dah', when they show them. Children search for dinosaurs during their imaginative play and make their footprints in sand. Children ask questions and seek answers. For instance, they are curious about spiders they find and the webs they build. Children are happy, settled and eager to learn. They are prepared well for the next stage in their learning, particularly for school.
