Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff demonstrate a good understanding of how to protect children in their care. They can identify the signs and symptoms of abuse and know the professionals to contact if they have a concern. The manager leads an experienced and well-qualified team who work well together. The manager tracks children's development thoroughly. She identifies potential gaps in their learning and implements successful interventions to close these gaps. The manager and staff work in good partnership with the local authority and use funding effectively for children who require additional support.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are confident and independent. They make choices about their play and staff encourage these choices through the well-resourced environment. Staff engage children in interesting activities. For example, children comfortably rolled salt dough and cut a chosen shape with a cutter. They carefully made a hole to create a Christmas tree decoration and talked excitedly about hanging the decoration on their tree. Staff support children effectively to gain good early literacy skills. For example, they talked about the sounds that different letters make and they named other objects that begin with the same letter. Staff understand the progress that children make and plan next steps in learning to relate to children's interests. For example, children cut real carrots and potatoes in the role-play kitchen to make vegetable soup. Staff effectively support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities and children who speak

English as an additional language. For example, adjustments are made to make activities easily accessible to children.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop strong emotional bonds with all members of staff, including their key person. Staff are knowledgeable about children's needs and interests and work closely with families. For example, families attend stay and play sessions prior to their child starting the nursery to discuss their individual needs. Children develop a secure understanding of how to maintain healthy lifestyles. They enjoy frequent exercise and older children learn about growing and cooking their own vegetables. Children form good relationships with each other and behave well. They learn to share, take turns and play cooperatively.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and development given their starting points and capabilities. Children who require additional support are identified and supported to enable them to catch up with their peers. Children demonstrate a range of skills to prepare them well for the next stage of their learning or their move on to school. Older children develop good social skills. For example, they take turns while building and driving trains around a track. Children demonstrate a strong sense of belonging and self- assurance.
