p.1

This provision is good

n The manager is well supported by staff, parents and the local authority adviser in the ongoing evaluation of the nursery. She makes continual improvements that positively benefit children. For example, recent training in physical literacy has seen changes in how children move around the nursery and engage in activities. n Staff build excellent relationships with parents. They speak highly of the nursery and appreciate the good care that the staff provide. Parents know that their children are well cared for. They comment that their children are happy and settled and enjoy coming to the nursery. n The manager and deputy work closely together to monitor teaching and learning. They identify training needs and support and coach staff well to improve the quality of the nursery. n Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is strong. The management team and staff demonstrate a thorough commitment to working with

other early years professionals to identify and implement timely interventions which enable children to make steady progress and close gaps in their learning. n Children enjoy their time in this welcoming and caring nursery. They form secure attachments with staff. This helps to promote children's emotional development. n Staff assess children by observing and creating individual learning scrapbooks and these provide valuable information for parents about their children's progress. However, they do not use these observations as effectively as they could to plan activities which target the children's individual needs. n Some adult-led group activities are not organised well enough to support all children's learning effectively.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager is experienced and dedicated. She successfully integrates a faith-based learning approach with the requirements of the early years foundation stage. She supports staff well through regular supervisory sessions and training opportunities. Safeguarding is effective. All staff have a good understanding of how to identify a child who may be at risk of harm. They know the action to take to report such concerns. Recruitment and vetting procedures are robust. New staff complete a thorough induction process to ensure that they understand their roles and responsibilities. The nursery is safe and secure.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a well-resourced environment, indoors and outside. This enables children to explore, problem solve and make links in their play. For example, babies delight in exploring a variety of resources, such as fabric, natural materials and pan scrubbers, which build their sensory skills. Staff develop children's imaginations. For instance, during a story activity, children pretend to walk through the river as they sing along with well-known songs. Staff extend children's language development well. They sit at children's level, use eye contact and engage with them in positive interactions. They speak clearly and add new words into their play, such as the names of different fruit.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's behaviour is good. Staff remind children of rules, such as sharing and taking turns. Staff are good role models and demonstrate to children the importance of using good manners. Staff liaise with parents to ensure that children bring healthy food in their packed lunches. Their provision of fresh fruit for snacks also promotes an awareness of the importance of healthy eating. Children relish the opportunity to play outside in the garden. They develop their large physical movements while riding tricycles, digging in the sandpit and climbing on large play equipment. Staff are beginning to encourage children to become more independent in taking care of themselves and making their own decisions.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good, steady progress from their starting points. Babies reach and grasp for items and push buttons on toys. Toddlers use a range of painting resources to develop their mark-making skills. Older children participate in activities with interest and commitment. They know the actions to rhymes and join in with story time. Children are growing in confidence and are learning skills for the next stage of their learning.
