The provision is good

n Children are happy and settled. Staff build good relationships with children. They frequently boost their self-esteem by using praise and recognition of their achievements. This contributes positively to children's emotional development. n Staff nurture very positive relationships with parents. This helps them to work well together in supporting children to progress and develop. Staff send home regular learning summaries which inform parents about their child's next steps and what they can do at home to help. Parents are extremely positive about the nursery and have the highest regard for staff. n The manager and staff are enthusiastic about the continued development of the nursery. They actively seek the views of parents and staff to identify and develop areas for improvement. n Children and babies are eager to explore the stimulating environment and motivated to develop their skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and whole staff team have a very good understanding of how to ensure that children are kept safe. They are kept up to date with changes in legislation and staff access all relevant training. Robust recruitment procedures are in place, which are complemented by thorough induction processes and ongoing performance management systems. Staff are able to access relevant training and the manager monitors the impact of training on outcomes for children. The manager and staff have established very good relationships with other settings. Everyone is committed to the partnership working to ensure children are supported in both settings and there is continuity and cohesion in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The quality of teaching is good. Staff know and understand the individual needs of the children within the nursery. Overall, they provide children with a wide range of activities in all areas of the nursery, from which children readily choose. Staff follow children's individual interests and overall capture opportunities to build well on younger children's learning. For instance, babies enjoy exploring with paint as staff extend their sensory play and support their small-muscle skills effectively. Staff build on older children's speaking and listening skills well. For instance, staff encourage children to listen to the sounds of the musical instruments and describe the differing sounds. Staff regularly evaluate children's learning and monitor their progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are able to settle in when they start attending. Staff work individually with each family, offering visits to gradually introduce the child and their parents to the nursery. Staff are effective in supporting children to move successfully to the next age-group room. This move is planned with parents. Children show that they feel a sense of well- being and belonging in the nursery. Babies readily settle to sleep and wake happily. Healthy lifestyles are promoted. Children enjoy their meals and snacks and have access to drinking water at all times. They thoroughly enjoy the wide range of activities and resources in the nursery garden that promote their physical skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress, including those in receipt of funding. They gain the skills they need for the next stage in their learning, including moving on to school. Children develop very good social skills. They use their growing pre-writing skills as they start to write their names and understand that marks have meaning. Children listen attentively at group times and confidently join in with group activities, choosing songs and dancing games.
