This provision is good

n Leaders and staff are passionate about the development of the nursery. The owner has a clear vision for the future and works well with the manager and staff to raise the outcomes for all children. n Staff have warm, positive relationships with the children. This is helped through the gathering of meaningful information about children's needs and interests. As a result, children make bonds with their key person and make good progress. n The manager supports partnership working with other agencies. For instance, he attends review meetings to support children with special educational needs (SEN) and ensures agreed targets are achieved. n Staff facilitate children's independence.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a good awareness of child protection issues and the wider implications with regard to keeping children safe. For example, they know how to identify and report concerns to protect children from harm and how to use risk assessments, to keep children safe. Leaders have good procedures to verify the ongoing suitability of staff. There are positive systems to help staff develop their skills. For instance, recent in-house training has helped staff develop stronger communication with parents that enhances the partnership.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use their knowledge and experience to observe children during their play. They correctly note children's next steps and use planning well to help them to reach their goals. Staff place a strong focus on building children's speaking and listening skills effectively. For instance, small-group times enable babies and toddlers to listen and do actions to songs, while older children learn how to recognise their name and participate in their favourite stories. Staff count with children during most activities and older children have opportunities to use technology to reinforce their recognition of numbers and quantity.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are motivated to do things for themselves, particularly at snack time. For example, staff offer older children knives and show them how to cut fruit safely. Children behave well and staff help them to learn about important values. For example, children learn about fairness, making choices and respecting one another. Staff give full support to children who speak English as an additional language, which helps their feeling of inclusion and ensures they become confident English speakers.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Babies and young children develop the skills needed for the next stage of their learning. Older children encounter a variety of activities that supports language, physical, mathematical and creative skills that help prepare them for school. For example, they count whilst stepping on balance blocks and learn the many ways they can use hoops during play. Babies grow in confidence in their early walking skills and all children develop good social skills. Pre-school children are keen to learn and develop good listening and attention. They enjoy stories and learn that print has meaning.
