Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have completed training to keep their knowledge of safeguarding practice up to date. They have a secure understanding of their role and responsibility to keep children safe from harm. Staff know the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. Managers reflect well on the views of the parents, staff and children. They evaluate the quality of the provision and plan future developments. For example, they have enhanced the garden to ensure children are provided with more challenges and those who learn best outside are well supported. Recruitment is effective; the manager ensures staff are constantly suitable to work with children. They deploy staff well to help ensure the close supervision of children indoors and outdoors. The manager closely monitors staff's professional development and the progress children make to quickly recognise and close any gaps in learning.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The staff team is experienced and qualified. Staff work effectively to create a safe, happy learning environment for children. They know their key children well. There is a strong system in place to ensure the individual learning needs of each child, particularly during periods of staff change, is effective. Staff plan a range of interesting activities to help children make good progress. They use their good teaching skills to promote children's interests well. For example, they provide opportunities for children to develop their interests and explore textures. Staff offer children good experiences to develop their finger muscles very well and foster their early writing skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff ensure the nursery environment is constantly safe. They complete rigorous risk assessments. Staff warmly welcome children and their parents into the nursery. They help children to be confident and settle quickly, showing that they feel emotionally secure. Younger children are happy in their environment and are confident to approach staff. Children behave well and understand rules. For example, they follow simple instructions when it is time to put their coat and shoes on to go outside. Staff give children plenty of opportunities to adopt healthy lifestyles. They ensure meals are carefully planned and prepared to promote children's health and well-being. Staff support older children to manage their own personal needs independently and learn about good hygiene habits.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children learn good social skills. They listen to each other's views and take turns in conversation. Children are well motivated to learn. They are confident and develop their early reading and writing skills well. Children count, recognise colours and understand shapes, space and measurements. They listen well and older children competently explain how they feel. For example, older children assert themselves well and tell others, 'stop, I don't like it'. Older children are eager to practise their independence skills. They can set tables for lunch and serve their own snacks. Children are respectful and value each other. All children make good progress from their starting points. They are well prepared for their next stages in learning and, eventually, school.
