p.1

The provision is good

n Managers make accurate evaluation of the provision. They identify strengths and areas for improvement. Managers consider the views of parents, children and staff. They take these into account when making decisions on how to improve the quality of provision. n Children learn about the community in which they live. For instance, staff take them on regular trips to the local park and shops. Children experience a range of activities that help them understand and value the differences between themselves and others. n Staff help children make healthy food choices. Children are able to say what food they like. For instance, they say they like 'carrots and fruit'. n The staff team enjoy working at the setting. Staff say they feel happy in their roles and have good working relationships with one another. n Managers are supportive of staff and provide regular opportunities for training and professional development. Staff implement what they learn to benefit children and

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Managers ensure staff are deployed well across the setting. Room leaders are highly skilled and support other staff. There is a good level of communication between staff and they know the individual needs of the children they care for. Managers track the progress of specific groups of children. They share this information with staff in order to continually improve the quality of teaching and learning. Hence, most children with low starting points are making steady progress in their development. Staff share individual children's progress with their parents and carers. They provide parents with support and information to help their children reach their next steps in learning. Safeguarding is effective. All staff are aware of the signs of abuse and are knowledgeable about the procedure to follow should they have concerns about a child. They know how to identify and refer concerns relating to extreme behaviours or beliefs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan and provide stimulating learning experiences to help motivate children's curiosity to explore. For instance, young babies enjoy a range of sensory activities, including messy painting, coloured balls in shredded paper and musical instruments. Babies learn to toddle and walk in a well-resourced and appropriately organised environment that is bright and welcoming. Older children have plenty of opportunities to discover and investigate bugs in soil, mould sand and play with water. They show high levels of engagement in each activity. Staff monitor individual children's progress closely. They make accurate assessments of their starting points and plan activities that help them meet their next steps in learning. Staff use a range of methods to support children's understanding and language development. For instance, they have individual sets of pictorial communication cards to help children understand the order of activities,

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are extremely well behaved across the nursery. Babies separate well from their parents on arrival. They understand the routines and have good attachments with their key persons. Older children move around the nursery in a safe manner. They understand the expectations for behaviour and line up, share, wait and take turns when playing and learning. Staff are skilled at ensuring the individual needs of children are accommodated at all times during the day. For instance, older children who still require time to sleep are thoughtfully supported to do so in a way that does not disrupt the regular sleep routine of younger children in the nursery.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are prepared well for the next stages in their learning. Older children handle tools for writing well and learn to name and trace the letters in their name. They are self-confident and willing to speak to adults about their likes and dislikes. Children learn to count and match numerals to quantity. They enjoy using simple age-appropriate software on the computer to help them with their learning.
