Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The managers and staff fully understand their safeguarding responsibilities. They have a good knowledge of the procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. The nursery is safe and secure and robust recruitment and vetting procedures are in place to help ensure all staff are suitable to work with children. Staff are aware to inform the manager if there are any changes in their personal circumstances that may affect their suitability to work with children. Managers have effective assessment procedures in place and track children's progress well. Staff are effectively deployed to ensure that children's needs are met at all times. Managers have a good understanding of what the nursery does well and identify actions to improve quality even further.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The well-qualified staff team gets to know children well. They use their observations and assessments to plan activities to promote further learning. Staff interact well during children's self-chosen play and adult-led activities. For example, children enjoy releasing butterflies after watching them hatch from their cocoons. Staff skilfully use the experience and show artefacts to help develop children's understanding of the world. Older children develop their concentration as they become engrossed creating hair styles. Staff make the most of opportunities to develop children's understanding of mathematical concepts as they play. For example, children are encouraged to count how many bricks they have used and predict how many more will be needed when building a bridge. Parents are informed regularly about their children's achievements and progress. This helps to promote a shared approach to children's care and learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have a good sense of belonging and confidently make choices about their learning. Staff encourage children to do things for themselves and develop their independence effectively. Staff support children's personal, social and emotional development extremely well. They are good role models and consistently use positive strategies, such as talking about taking turns and sharing. As a result, children behave extremely well. Children are taught the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Staff talk to children about the benefits of a good diet and provide a range of healthy and nutritious snacks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children grow in confidence and gain strong social skills. They are active and confident learners and independently initiate their own play. A good range of experiences both inside and outdoors and secure relationships with staff has resulted in children who are eager to 'have a go'. They count from one to 10 and use pencils skilfully as they draw and attempt to write their own names. Planning for next steps in learning ensures all children make good progress. They are confident learners who develop key skills that prepare them well for school.
