Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of child protection procedures. They take appropriate action to protect children's welfare. Staff help children to learn about their own safety. The manager explains the importance of wearing protective goggles and gloves during woodwork activities. Under close supervision by the manager and staff, children learn to use hammers, hand drills and small saws to make designs using soft wood and cork. Staff work well with parents to meet children's individual needs. They give parents ideas for activities they can do at home to support their children's development and provide continuity.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff support children's understanding of the world. They respond to their interest in shapes created by planes in the sky and explain how these are formed. Staff use photographs to explain to children about the features of animals, such as hedgehogs, which children draw on their pictures. They provide children with good opportunities to make discoveries. Staff provide opportunities for them to try unfamiliar fruit, such as a kiwi, which they see in recipe books. Children learn what happens while playing with water containing ice and are keen to copy words they hear, such as 'it's melting'. Children concentrate well. They spend considerable time making designs using resources, such as dried pasta and modelling dough.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

On arrival, children quickly and happily separate from their parents. They run into the nursery with great energy and enthusiasm. Staff are positive role models. They respond to the choices that children make and actively join in their play. Staff motivate children to try things for themselves and support their independence. Children help themselves to the fruit they want to eat at snack time. Staff plan activities that support children's understanding of a healthy lifestyle. Children enjoy making soup and models of superheroes with magic powers that provide energy using a variety of fresh vegetables. They often choose to play actively outdoors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the skills they need for starting school. Children who are learning English as an additional language reach a good standard of spoken English. All children learn to listen and follow instructions, for instance, while using old saucepans and sticks to create loud and quiet sounds. Younger children, particularly boys, enjoy making marks and drawing while playing outdoors. Older children learn to write their name and draw with control and purpose. Children enjoy learning to use technology. They operate cameras and hand-held electronic tablets, and photocopy some of their work to take home.
