younger children to repeat words to help increase their vocabulary. n At times, staff do not utilise enough opportunities to fully extend and challenge children's learning to the highest levels. n On occasions, staff miss opportunities to exchange information about children's stage of development prior to their room transition. This means that staff do not have as much information as possible about what children already know and can do.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are very clear about their role in protecting children. They demonstrate a good knowledge of procedures to follow in the event of a concern about a child's welfare. Robust recruitment procedures ensure that those who work within the setting are suitable. Staff are deployed well to carefully supervise babies and children. They complete thorough checks to ensure that the environment is safe and secure. The manager monitors staff performance well, for example, through regular supervision meetings. Parents are kept well informed about their children's learning. They are happy with the communication and compliment the staff on how well they know their children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children benefit from a wealth of opportunities to self-select resources and lead their own play. Staff regularly observe children and quickly identify their next steps in learning. They plan exciting activities based on their interests. Staff use their good teaching skills to extend children's learning using their own ideas. For example, during fruit cutting and tasting activities, staff skilfully challenge them to identify and discuss the differences between fruit and vegetables. Younger children show delight as they learn to climb steps and walk ramps, relishing in the praise they receive from staff. Staff share children's achievements regularly with parents, to keep them informed of their children's ongoing progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children thrive in this highly stimulating nursery and display an extremely strong sense of belonging. Staff support children's emotional well-being exceptionally well, with care that is tailored precisely to their individual needs. This is significantly enhanced through the highly effective key-person system. Children's behaviour is exemplary. Staff are excellent role models and gently reinforce boundaries. Children demonstrate excellent manners and are kind and respectful to one another. Staff meaningfully praise children for their achievements which helps to build their self-esteem. Staff consult children regularly and ensure they have a variety of opportunities to contribute to some of the decision making. For example, children elect a 'prime minister' who represents them at meetings. Children have regular opportunities to play outside in the fresh air and exercise.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and are well prepared for their next steps in learning. Babies develop their small muscles as they mix 'gloop' in large trays. Older children develop their physical skills as they take part in exercise classes in the outdoor area. Children are motivated and enjoy learning.
