p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The management team and staff have a good knowledge of the safeguarding procedures to follow to help protect children's safety and welfare. This includes knowing who to contact to seek advice or follow up any concerns. Children are supervised effectively, including when they play outside; this helps to keep children safe. Risk assessments are used well. Staff teach children how to manage their own risks. For example, they encourage and support children to climb trees safely. The manager evaluates the nursery well and is able to identify some areas to develop to further enhance practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff regularly observe and assess children's development and plan for their individual next steps in learning and continued good progress. Staff extend learning opportunities for children and respond to their emerging interests. For example, children demonstrate good communication and language skills as they talk about their families and activities. Staff listen attentively and model language well. They ask questions that encourage children to think. Children develop their literacy skills as they use books with care and listen to stories attentively. They enjoy being creative and experiment using different ingredients. For example, children select and mix a variety of vegetables in the outdoors mud kitchen to create 'soup'.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are positive role models for the children. They teach children about behaviour expectations and how to be kind to others. Staff encourage children to follow appropriate routines, such as regular handwashing. This contributes to children leading healthy lifestyles. Children enjoy the social interaction with children of all ages, including children in the host school. They also gain a sense of community and the needs of others. For instance, children have forged friendships with residents in a local rehabilitation centre.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are supported well to make the progress they are capable of. They develop the skills they need in preparation for future learning and their move to school. Young children explore resources to find out how things work. Children listen attentively and respond well to instructions. Older children climb the apparatus and manoeuvre construction equipment safely. They know some letters and the sounds they represent and learn to write for different purposes.
