This provision is good

n The nursery continues to be a strong provision. The management team works closely with parents and other professionals to maintain the good standards of care and teaching. n Staff observe and assess children's learning rigorously to help plan a wide variety of stimulating learning opportunities indoors and outdoors. They work in partnership with specialist teachers, such as dance and sports, to help to enrich children's learning experiences. Overall, children make good progress from their starting points. n Staff readily involve themselves in children's play to help motivate children to learn, for example through role play. n The key-person system is effective in ensuring that children form secure attachments with staff. Young and older children show that they feel safe and emotionally assured. n Staff deployment is effective across the nursery. Staff understand and respond appropriately to accidents and incidents, including situations of children biting. They

manage risks effectively and supervise children well. n Although the management team provides staff with support and training, this is not consistently focused to identify how individual staff members can raise their teaching to the highest level. n Staff have not fully considered how to support children, who are quiet and less confident during group times, to help them make the most of all learning experiences.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The management team and staff are alert to the signs that may indicate a child is at risk of harm. They know the procedures for reporting any child protection concerns to protect a child's welfare. The management team follows rigorous procedures for recruitment to help check all staff's suitability to work with children. The management team seeks, and acts on, the views of parents regularly, to help evaluate the provision. For example, they are currently looking at other ways to increase parental involvement using available technology, to enhance children's care and learning. Parents speak positively about staff and the service that they and their children receive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff engage well with younger and older children to build on what they enjoy and can do. For instance, they routinely sing nursery songs and read stories, which helps to develop children's language and listening skills. The more confident children are very keen to share their thoughts and ideas using a good range of vocabulary. Staff provide children with many sensory play activities, such as dough, flour, water and paint. These activities help to ignite children's creativity and imagination. Children develop their early mathematical skills in fun and meaningful ways. For example, during group activities, older children enjoy counting and solving simple addition and subtraction problems through songs and practical tasks.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Following training, staff have improved their knowledge of how to support children's emotions and well-being more effectively. Staff create a positive atmosphere of respect and help children and their families to feel welcome. They provide many opportunities for children to learn, hear and use different languages. This contributes to children's understanding of the differences between themselves and others. Staff are kind and approachable. They manage children's behaviour well and make their expectations clear. For example, staff encourage children to share toys and to take turns. Children enjoy playing and form good friendships with their peers. They are active and overall are motivated to learn.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children of all ages gain important skills to help prepare them well for their future learning, including their move on to school. For example, boys and girls gain strong levels of independence and self-help skills. They take responsibility for practical tasks, such as cutting fruit for their snack and handing out the plates at mealtimes. Children develop their co-ordination, control and physical movements effectively. For instance, young children test and improve their crawling and early walking, reassured that there is a supportive hand to guide them. Outdoors, older children use large equipment, such as swings and slides confidently. They practise their early writing and develop a good understanding of letters that are significant to them.
