The provision is good

n The manager and her staff provide a bright, imaginative and welcoming learning environment.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager has a very clear understanding of her role as safeguarding lead. She ensures that all staff have a robust knowledge of child protection procedures and possible signs of radicalisation. Staff are vigilant and effectively check that children play in a safe and clean environment. Staff work strongly as a team to identify the priorities for the nursery's future development. They consult well with parents and children. Staff take advantage of training opportunities and share their knowledge well with others. This has had a positive impact on, for example, support for children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities and the quality of assessment.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff help children to follow instructions and develop their listening skills well. For example, children enjoy matching recordings of different sounds to pictures of the animals which make them. Staff have rigorous assessment systems to pin point any delays children have in their learning, particularly in their communication skills, and to plan precisely to address these needs. Staff help children to develop their curiosity and explore the world around them. They bring learning to life through, for example, good use of vibrant resources and stimulating interaction with children's play. For example, children develop their creative ideas and knowledge of sea creatures when staff support imaginative water play and singing of action songs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff work well with parents to help children make a smooth and positive start to their nursery experience. They support children to feel confident and secure through calm and purposeful praise and the respect and value they show for all children's work and achievement. Children learn to share their toys and play well with others. Staff help children to understand the diversity of the world in which they live and to appreciate others' views. For example, staff use of books of images of children's families to help them learn about different relationships and family structures. The nursery helps to promote children's awareness of healthy lifestyles. The cook prepares nutritious and well-balanced meals for children's lunch and they choose from a range of healthy snacks and breakfast items.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Staff accurately observe children's achievement and carefully analyse their progress to ensure they are well prepared for further learning. Children's speaking skills, early reading and writing are developed well. They enjoy reading a story together and follow the plot carefully. They make up imaginative role play based on familiar stories. They progress well towards reading and writing their own name. They learn to count accurately through, for example, singing number songs together.
