p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff know procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. They prioritise children's safety. For instance, closed circuit television is placed in all group rooms and staff check all areas of the nursery to protect children from harm. The manager supports staff effectively. She has regular one-to-one meetings with staff and carries out performance reviews to identify work and training needs. As a result, staff attended a course on developing early mathematical skills which has led to more effective practice in this area. The manager monitors the nursery in successful ways, for example carrying out regular observations of staff to provide feedback and improve skills. She reviews planning and assessment records closely to identify and support any children needing extra help.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff teach children good early mathematical skills. For instance, children use sand-filled gloves to learn to count fingers reliably. They have good knowledge of different shape names. Staff support children's understanding of the world well. For example, children plant vegetable seeds in pots and staff teach them about how things grow. Staff provide babies with interesting activities to support their creative development. For instance, babies use their senses to explore the texture and smell of lemons and mint. Children have good opportunities to practise and extend their communication and language skills. For example, they speak about favourite items they bring into the nursery to show to others.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff have warm, nurturing relationships with children. They value them highly as individuals and get to know them well. Staff use their knowledge of children's likes and dislikes to provide activities that children enjoy and support their well-being. Children gain good independence skills. For instance, even younger children help to prepare fresh fruit for snack time. Older children can put on their coats by themselves. Staff teach children good safety awareness. For example, children know how to handle tools carefully as they prepare fruit. They walk indoors and line up sensibly to prevent accidents. Staff teach children healthy routines, for instance by undertaking daily physical challenges, such as climbing, jumping and running and eating well-balanced meals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and motivated to learn. They respect themselves and others from different religious and cultural backgrounds. Older children have good letter and sound knowledge and can recognise their names. Younger and older children sing nursery rhymes and songs and learn about sounds in words. Children learn valuable skills to support the next stage of their learning.
