Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are trained in safeguarding and understand their responsibilities to keep children safe from harm. They know what to do if they are concerned about the behaviour of a colleague. Managers deal with any concerns from parents promptly and follow their complaints procedure. Staff assess potential risks to children and make certain that the nursery is secure and no unauthorised people can enter. Senior managers ensure that staff are effectively deployed and supervise children at all times. The manager uses peer observations and one-to-one meetings to help staff effectively and support them in their role, overall. The manager monitors children's attendance effectively. Staff identify any gaps in individual children's learning and successfully provide additional support to help them catch up quickly. Partnerships with local schools are well developed. Staff share information about children's learning to help

to make sure that their move to school is a positive experience.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are qualified and make accurate assessments of individual children's progress. Babies are happy, settled and demonstrate the determination to explore as they confidently crawl. Staff provide textures and materials that babies are interested in and support them as they investigate. Babies delight in playing peek-a-boo with staff. Older children demonstrate their good understanding of the world as they describe the characteristics of octopuses and chameleons. Staff skilfully extend children's knowledge and vocabulary as they introduce new words, including 'camouflage' and 'predators'. Staff introduce traditional games that children enthusiastically enjoy. Children confidently take the lead as they pretend to be the wolf and tell the time. Staff skilfully join in children's play and effectively encourage their counting skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Babies and children display their positive self-esteem and emotional well-being. Key persons manage children's entry into the nursery and movement between rooms sensitively. Key persons ensure that nappy changing procedures are organised effectively to meet children's individual care needs. Staff provide freshly prepared food and snacks. They ensure that children's individual dietary requirements are adhered to carefully. Staff encourage children's self-care skills and independence well. Younger and older children serve themselves at lunchtime. They also follow good hygiene routines and manage their personal care well. Staff help all children enjoy playing in the garden each day. Children challenge their physical abilities and demonstrate good balance, coordination and control as they ride bicycles confidently over the different surfaces. Children's physical well- being is strong.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are active and motivated learners. Older children use scissors confidently and accurately to cut straws to paint with, and young children use good hand control to draw circles. Babies explore books with interest and shake musical instruments to repeat the sound. Children display a positive attitude to their learning and develop the skills they need for the future, including starting school.
