Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are vigilant at all times to ensure they keep children safe. They have an in-depth knowledge of the signs and symptoms of abuse and the procedures to report any concerns. Leaders implement robust recruitment procedures to check staff's suitability to work with children. Required ratios are met at all times. Leaders deploy staff effectively to make sure they meet children's individual care needs well and promote their well-being. Leaders implement effective risk assessments to ensure that the premises is secure and well maintained, and so that children are kept safe on outings. Leaders continually look for ways to enhance staff practice, through training and research. They use the information they gather through the monitoring of groups of children, to improve the curriculum and identify any gaps in teaching. Leader's use of targeted coaching and mentoring is helping the well-qualified staff team to build

on their skills continually. Leaders provide good support for parents. For example, they help parents to implement toilet training for their children and good bedtime routines for their children. Parents value the support they receive, which has helped to enhance outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are enthusiastic in their teaching. They ensure the indoor learning environment is organised well organised, bright and very welcoming. Staff use children's home languages superbly, alongside English, to help children develop outstanding communication and language skills. Staff listen perceptively to children. They encourage them to question, solve problems, make links and recall their learning. Children enjoy lively story sessions, and staff encourage them to think about the difference between what they and a crocodile might eat. Staff take children on trips that enhance their learning. For example, they use buses and trains to explore their wider community.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff implement effective arrangements for children's transition into the nursery and on to school. Children settle easily and soon develop strong relationships with the adults and each other. Children enjoy outdoor play where they build confidence and resilience. Staff teach them robust hygiene routines and promote their understanding of why a healthy diet and exercise are important.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, make swift progress from their starting points. They are confident, self-assured and independent learners. Children demonstrate strong social skills, positive behaviour and high levels of self-control. They are keen to share their knowledge with visitors. For example, children demonstrate their good early writing skills and show how they can recognise familiar letters and words. They show their mathematical skills when they count and use positional language. Children are well prepared for the move on to school.
