Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager monitors and evaluates the nursery well, and has clear goals to build ongoing improvements. For instance, she reviews planning and assessment records regularly and carries out room observations to improve practice. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure knowledge of the procedures to follow should they have concerns about a child's welfare. Staff are vigilant about children's safety. They check all areas of the nursery regularly to help prevent accidents. The manager carries out robust checks on all staff as part of the recruitment process to help keep children safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff support children's early mathematical skills well. For instance, they teach children mathematical vocabulary to describe size and shape and children have good counting skills. Staff provide good opportunities for children to develop their creative skills. Children make autumn collages using a range of natural materials and paint colours. Babies' language development is well supported by staff, such as when they sing songs and read stories to them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff have caring and warm relationships with children. They value them as individuals and take care to find out as much as possible about children's likes and dislikes to help them settle well. For example, they ask parents about children's comfort needs and home care routines. Children are able to do things for themselves. Older children can dress and feed themselves and help to tidy up after play. Staff teach children to behave in safe ways, such as how to cross roads safely and how to act with care and awareness of others when moving around in the garden. Children have healthy routines, such as daily outdoor physical challenges and nutritious meals and snacks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and motivated to learn. They share and take turns as they speak and listen during group discussions. Children learn to respect themselves and others from different cultural or religious backgrounds. They play cooperatively together and enjoy creating stories of their own, using their imaginations well. Children learn valuable skills to support their future learning.
