p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The managers ensure staff have a strong understanding of how to notice if a child's welfare is at risk and of what to do if they have a concern. Robust recruitment processes help ensure that all staff are suitable to work with the children. Managers support staff training, they observe and coach staff to help them improve the quality of their practice. For example, recent training around learning environments has helped staff plan for all children to continue their learning outside. Parents state that staff are caring, friendly and welcoming. They say that their children are very happy and make good progress in their learning and development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use the good knowledge of the children's individual interests and abilities, to help plan a wide range of interesting activities that they know children will enjoy. This helps children to be eager to take part and motivate them in their learning. Managers and staff check the progress of individual children and overall, groups of children effectively. When identifying gaps in children's learning, they provide good support to help children to narrow these. They have strong links with the feeder schools, which helps to support a continuous approach to children's care and learning. Staff support younger children to squeeze and mould dough, which helps to encourage their small-muscle control. Older children show their creativity as they attempt to write letters and communicate to staff and each other about what they are writing. Older children show curiosity and delight as they explore magnets as enthusiastic staff support their learning about how magnets

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are greeted warmly and enthusiastically by the friendly staff. They arrive happy and eager to spend time with their friends. Staff provide support effectively for children when they move to different rooms in the nursery, and for children who are moving to school, which effectively helps their emotional well-being. Children enjoy physical activities. For instance, they learn to move their bodies in different ways and dance to songs they sing. Staff conduct daily checks on the premises and resources to help keep children safe. Overall staff support children to develop independence. For example, children take responsibility for looking after their toys and tidy up well before lunchtime.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and any gaps in their learning are closing. Older children show confidence and self-esteem as they enjoy taking part in a play for their parents and sing songs they have learnt, they use their imaginations well as they pretend to be different characters. Younger children show their curiosity as they explore musical instruments and the sounds they make.
