Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff are aware of their responsibilities to protect children from abuse and neglect and they know the signs and symptoms to look for. The manager is reflective and systematic in her approach to leadership and her responsibility to ensure that children's safety, care, learning and development needs are met. The environment has been developed to better meet the needs of children. This includes creating direct access to the outdoors and ensuring there is more natural light in the setting. Staff are well supported to develop their practice, for example through regular individual meetings with the manager, monthly staff meetings and observing one another's work. Training is targeted to meet the needs of staff and children. Parents value the relationships they and their children have with staff at the nursery. They feel staff communicate well with them regarding their children's care and learning, and they

are happy that staff adapt the provision to meet their children's individual needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

All children make good progress. Staff make observations of children's play and interactions and identify appropriate next steps in their learning and development. Next steps are used to inform planning. Any emerging concerns about children's development or progress are discussed with parents and are closely monitored in order to ensure additional support is given where needed. Staff respond to children's comments positively and encourage young children's early attempts at verbal communication, for example by repeating words or sounds back to them. Staff incorporate number and counting activities effectively within children's play. For example, they join in with children as they sing a number song and support other children to work out how many carriages they have as they join one more onto their train.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff create a warm and welcoming environment and they greet children individually as they arrive at nursery. Children's behaviour is good. Staff gently intervene to remind children of the rules or to keep children safe when necessary, such as when they remind children that it is not safe to run indoors. Staff model respectful interactions with each other and with children. They support children to notice and celebrate differences and similarities between one another. They talk to children about the food they are eating and encourage them to begin to make good choices. Staff talk to children about the effect of activity on their bodies. For example, when they are feeling cold outside they are encouraged to run to warm up their bodies.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children begin to develop skills that will support them as they move through the nursery or on to school. Children's self-help skills are encouraged. For example, two-year-old children are beginning to use knives and forks to eat their lunch. Older children are beginning to learn to recognise and write their names, and to link sounds to letters. All children enjoy listening to stories as part of their daily routine.
