This provision is good

n The manager oversees the quality of the nursery with rigour and has introduced effective strategies to include the views of parents, children and other professionals to contribute to her improvement plans. She has high aspirations for the future of the nursery and has successfully motivated her staff team to implement new activities and ideas. n Children's progress is monitored effectively. The manager ensures that any child who is not meeting age-related expectations is supported through early intervention. Staff work extremely well in partnership with other professionals to implement strategies that help children to progress, communicate and learn. n Leaders have organised the key-person system effectively. All staff develop good relationships with their key children. Children seek out their key person for comfort or support and enjoy spending time with them. n Children are very well supported as they move through the nursery and prepare for the

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager ensures that all staff are fully aware of their responsibilities to identify and report concerns relating to children's welfare or the conduct of an adult. Staff know how to identify and manage wider child protection concerns, to keep children safe. Staff encourage parents to become involved in children's learning at the nursery. They plan stay-and-play sessions for parents to attend and find out more about how they can support their child's learning at home. Parents say that they are kept very well informed and that staff are always available to help them with any problem or issue they may have. Staff engage in regular training and professional development. Since the last inspection, the manager has provided more frequent and detailed feedback to staff to extend their skills further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified and supported by management. They have age-appropriate expectations for what children can achieve and provide a range of enjoyable learning experiences for them. Staff observe children regularly and accurately assess their development in partnership with their parents. Babies explore a range of sensory resources with interest. They shake containers and listen to the different noises they make. Babies develop their hand-to-eye coordination as they use small scoops in the sand tray. Young children enjoy the challenge of trying to dig toy animals out of blocks of ice. They enjoy playing chase in the outdoor area and learn to use ride-on toys, such as small scooters and tricycles. Older children engage in creative activities. They independently put aprons on to paint colourful pictures, and attempt to use scissors with little support from staff. Children are encouraged to make choices about what they would

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Overall, children behave well. Older children demonstrate kind behaviour, such as sharing out resources to make sure each child has something to play with. Staff model positive behaviour and use plenty of praise and encouragement to support younger children's understanding of what is expected of them. Staff ensure that children follow hygiene procedures and the nursery is kept clean and well organised. Staff are alert to potential hazards in the environment and take swift action to ensure that children are protected from harm. Children's home languages and cultures are incorporated into daily life at the nursery as staff endeavour to give all children a sense of belonging. Children have good levels of self-esteem and motivation.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make a good rate of progress from their starting points. Older children begin to discuss mathematical concepts. They know, for example, who has collected the most snowballs in the garden by counting how many they each have and comparing the quantities. Younger children are confident to seek support from staff when they need it, but like trying to do things independently.
