The provision is good

n The management team and staff provide a very inclusive nursery environment. They highly value children's home culture and effectively support their bilingual skills. Children learn about communities and develop their understanding and respect for the differences between themselves and other people. n Staff support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities extremely well. They work closely with a wide range of other professionals. This helps to support a consistent approach to children's learning and development. n Parents speak extremely highly about the quality of the nursery and are very pleased with the progress their children make. Parents state that, 'Staff are genuinely caring, very flexible and responsive to their children's individual needs'. They describe the nursery as, 'Great'.

own food at lunchtime from the dishes that staff provide. Older children competently wash and dry their own paint pots and place them back on the shelf.

Children show delight as they succeed in the task they set out to achieve.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The management team uses a systematic approach to evaluating the quality of the nursery. They consistently implement action plans to support further improvement. The manager uses induction, regular supervision and team meetings to help staff in their role, overall. Safeguarding is effective. Staff are trained in child protection. They identify a wide range of possible signs of abuse and neglect and understand the procedure to follow should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. All staff hold paediatric first aid qualifications. This helps to ensure that they can respond swiftly to any accidents or injuries. The management team monitors how well individual children and different groups of children are progressing in their learning. They identify any areas where children are not achieving as expected and provide support to help them catch up quickly. Staff work closely with teachers from different schools.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The qualified staff team regularly observes children and makes accurate assessments of their development. They use this information well to shape children's learning experiences. Children are very imaginative. They play cooperatively together and confidently use long cardboard tubes as telescopes to search for 'pirate ships'. Staff support children's interest in books and stories well. They read using good expression and ask interesting questions to challenge children's thinking. Children display their good understanding of the world and correctly identify that eggs come from chickens. Staff are very responsive to babies ideas and skilfully teach them how to blow feathers. Older babies show delight as they practise this new skill. Staff use effective communication to support and extend babies growing language skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Babies and young children thrive and build extremely secure emotional attachments to their key persons. Staff provide extensive opportunities for children to be physically active. Older babies show their good coordination and control as they enthusiastically throw soft balls using an overhand motion. Older children display high levels of motivation as they stand on their tip toes and stretch their hands up high showing excellent balance and body strength. Boys confidently describe how they are, 'Tall like a giraffe'. Staff teach children to use real tools extremely well. Children display an excellent knowledge of how to keep themselves safe when sawing wood and understand that they need to use goggles to protect their eyes.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good or better progress in their learning, including those who speak English as an additional language and those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Children eagerly join in activities. They show great enthusiasm and positive attitudes towards their learning. Older children count confidently and recognise numbers. Babies, toddlers and children are interested in books and use them competently. Children are developing the skills they need for the future and are well prepared for starting school.
