This provision is good

n Staff work well in partnership with parents and other professionals. They ensure there is an effective two-way flow of information.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff confidently fulfil their role to protect children from harm. They know what to do should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The manager implements robust recruitment and induction processes. This helps to assure the suitability of staff working with children. The manager gathers the views of parents and staff to help her identify strengths in practice and areas to develop. She reviews the progress made by individual children and groups of children. This helps to inform planning, for example to offer more opportunities for children to develop literacy skills and to enhance children's use of information and communication technology.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff observe children as they play and make regular assessments of their progress. They share information well with parents who frequently contribute their own 'wow' moments from home. Staff support children's good communication and language development well. They repeat noises babies make and name items to help them understand and develop confidence to repeat words. Staff responded to toddlers' anticipation of snow. They provided messy-play activities that mimicked snow, adding paint and glitter. This helped to encourage children to talk about and explore changes in colour. Children in the pre-school room helped to fill large containers with water and explored a range of toy sea creatures. Staff showed them how to use pipettes to draw up water and control the drops they released. This also helped children to develop muscle control and support their interest in writing their names for themselves. Children

eagerly choose books to borrow and share with parents at home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff gather detailed information from parents when children first start about what they already know and can do. This helps them to plan effectively to help children settle quickly. Children confidently self-select from a good range of toys and resources both inside and outside. They enjoy freshly prepared snacks and meals which promote healthy food choices well. Children receive lots of praise for their efforts and achievements. This helps them to develop good levels of self-esteem. Children listen to staff and behave well. Children learn about faiths and cultures that are different to their own. They show respect to each other and develop firm friendships. Staff support children's emotional well-being during times of change. For instance, they invite reception teachers to nursery to meet children who are moving to school.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress given their starting points and capabilities. Babies have space to crawl, stand and take steps in a safe environment. Older children enthusiastically hunted for dinosaur bones outside, counting the number they found. They show good listening and attention skills during short group activities. Toddlers develop good independence as they help to tidy toys and scape their plates after meals. Children gain key skills to support the next stage in their learning and the eventual move to school.
