The provision is good

n Staff know the children in their care very well. They thoughtfully organise the indoor and outdoor play spaces, and plan stimulating and engaging activities that motivate children to play and learn. n Children behave well in the nursery. They are polite and show respect to staff and each other from an early age. Staff are good role models and help children to develop their understanding of boundaries and routines. They praise and encourage children, who learn to share and take turns. n Staff monitor children's progress well and effectively identify areas where they need extra support to narrow any gaps in their learning and development. All children make good progress given their starting points, capabilities and interests. n The manager evaluates the provision well. She considers the views of the local authority early years coordinator, staff, parents and children. This helps her to raise the quality of the nursery and children's overall learning experiences.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. They know the signs that may indicate children are at risk of extreme views and behaviours. Staff are vigilant in their supervision of children. Daily checks and thorough risk assessments of the premises, indoors and outdoors, are used to ensure all areas that children access are safe and secure. The manager supports staff effectively. They have good opportunities to discuss and identify training and development opportunities, to build on their good practice. The manager uses robust recruitment procedures and reviews these processes to check staff's ongoing suitability. Parents are very happy with the service provided. They describe the staff as professional and very caring.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan a good range of interesting and challenging activities that takes account of children's next steps in learning, overall. They help younger children to develop their understanding of language and support their speaking skills well. For example, when they share books, children point out their favourite animals while staff introduce new words and vocabulary. Younger children are creative and play imaginatively with a range of materials. For instance, they use dough and shape sorters to make birthday cakes. Staff extend their mathematical development further and ask them to identify colours and count the pretend candles. Staff support older children effectively to develop their literacy skills. For example, children enjoy using white boards and pens to practise their early writing. They are excited and eager to show and talk about their work and creations.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children display a strong sense of belonging and have close and caring bonds with their key person and other staff. They settle quickly on arrival at the nursery, and are confident to approach staff for help and reassurance. Children's independence and self- care skills are fostered effectively by staff. For example, children help to tidy up along with the staff, when it is time for meals. Children and babies confidently select and use a wide range of toys that helps them to develop their curiosity. They have plenty of opportunities to develop healthy lifestyles. For example, they eat healthy snacks and nourishing meals, and eagerly engage in outdoor play and exercise.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in the nursery and learn an extensive range of skills which prepares them well for their eventual move to school. They demonstrate that they feel happy and secure at the nursery. They are truly eager to take part in a broad range of rich learning experiences, and are inquisitive and constantly engaged in exciting activities that motivate them to learn. Children are encouraged to lead their own play and have good opportunities to build their self-esteem.
