This provision is good

n Parents speak highly of the support and ongoing care that the manager and her team provide. The manager involves parents in celebrating one another's similarities and differences, to help promote a positive culture of acceptance. For instance, parents bring dishes from around the world to share at a summer barbeque. Staff teach children about Diwali, Remembrance Day and Black History Month. This helps children to celebrate people outside of their immediate experience. n Staff provide a good variety of activities to promote children's development and talk to them about their learning. Staff engage children in digging in a woodchip pit in the garden, talk to them about collecting treasure and discuss buckets of treasure that are empty and full. This helps develop children's imaginative skills and mathematical knowledge successfully. n Children thrive in the nurturing environment that staff provide. Children develop a

strong sense of self-worth and have the confidence to try tasks for the first time. Babies clap themselves as they master balance and coordination while taking steps. Staff praise children's achievements and are extremely supportive and positive. n Children have a positive attitude towards learning. Staff use shared garden time effectively to help create smooth transitions for babies to move into the older room. Older children work well during small-group activities. They listen and follow instructions well. Older children are well prepared for their move on to school. n Systems for monitoring staff practice do not consistently ensure that all staff are thoroughly supported to extend their knowledge and skills to the highest level. n Although staff provide healthy food and encourage handwashing before meals, they miss opportunities to help children understand why it is important to keep themselves healthy and adopt good hygiene practices.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector spoke with children, parents, the manager and staff at appropriate times during the inspection. n The inspector and manager carried out a joint observation of a planned activity. n The inspector observed activities, play and interactions between staff and children indoors and outdoors. n The inspector looked at the range and suitability of resources available. n The inspector sampled documents, including policies, training certificates, children's learning records and other relevant documentation.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager ensures that a well-planned programme of professional development improves overall practice. For example, conferences and workshops around sensory spaces and learning environments have had a positive impact on children's learning experiences. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff know the possible signs that a child may be at risk of abuse and understand the procedures to follow to escalate concerns about a child's welfare. The manager involves children, parents and staff in evaluating the nursery. She works closely with the local authority to implement strategies and programmes that help her reflect on practice. She strives to continually make improvements to benefit all children. The manager works well with other settings and local schools that children also attend, to provide continuity of care and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff make effective use of observations of children to learn about their interests. They develop planning around activities that motivate children to learn and explore. For example, staff have built on children's interest in dinosaurs to create a space with leaves, logs, flour and paint for the dinosaurs to live in. Staff reshaped the activity to include a river as children asked to wash the dinosaurs. Staff provide a range of reading material for children to explore during their play. Older children looked at recipe books as they pretended to make cakes in the kitchen. This helps them to understand how to use their early literacy skills in everyday situations effectively. Staff promote language and early communication skills with babies well. For example, they engaged babies with a duck hand puppet as they sang 'five little ducks' with them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children to develop an understanding of their local environment. Staff encourage children to pay cashiers when they visit local shops and to choose books when they visit the library. Staff make good use of impromptu opportunities to extend children's awareness of the world around them. For example, staff drew children's attention to low-flying aeroplanes and talked to them about the places these may be going to. Children enjoy the responsibility of assessing risk within the nursery and are eager to help tidy away and organise resources safely. Older children manage their own needs confidently. They serve themselves using ladles and bowls at lunchtime and they patiently take turns. Staff remind children about polite manners. Children are eager to share and are proud of themselves for saying 'please' and 'thank you'.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Babies make choices about what they play with and delight in mixing shredded paper with water to explore the new textures they create. Older children develop their skills in mark making and technology successfully. For example, during the inspection, they investigated the role-play office, making telephone calls, taking notes and using computer keyboards. All children make good progress in their development, to help with their next stage of learning.
