This provision is good

n Since the last inspection, the provider and staff team have taken effective action and worked hard to make significant improvements. This has a positive impact on the quality of the provision and outcomes for children. n Staff have opportunities for professional development. For example, they have completed behaviour management training. This has enabled them to be consistent in setting clear boundaries. Overall, children behave well. n Staff know how children learn and develop. They attend well to their individual needs. Children make good progress in relation to their starting points. n Staff do not consistently manage routines well to help extend children's understanding of what is happening next and what is expected of them at these times. n Occasionally, staff do not allow children the time they need to respond to questions. This means that children are not always able to have full discussions and develop

ideas. n Staff are not always aware of the noise levels in the nursery, which does not consistently support children's concentration skills effectively.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The management team has addressed the areas for improvement identified at the last inspection. This has a positive effect on staff's practice and children's learning. Safeguarding is effective. The designated safeguarding leads have completed relevant training and are clear about their roles and responsibilities. Staff have a good awareness of child protection matters and know what procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. The manager works in the playrooms, which enables her to know the children well and observe staff's practice. Staff receive regular supervision meetings which support them to reflect on their practice and help to identify training opportunities to continually develop their skills. Recruitment, vetting and induction procedures are thorough and help to ensure that staff are suitable to carry out their roles.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know their children well. They observe and assess individual children and groups of children's development regularly. The provider has introduced an electronic method of recording observations on the children, and staff have received training to use this system effectively. The observations are shared with parents, so they receive updated information on their children and can add their comments. Staff enable children to develop their creativity and imagination effectively. Children design their own birthday cards using paints and explore the texture of the paint as they make handprints. Young babies freely explore their surroundings, as they crawl or toddle around. They enjoy exploratory play, for example finding out about the different noises of the musical instruments. Staff work closely with other professionals to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Overall, children settle well and form good relationships with the staff. Most children arrive happily and say goodbye to their parent or carer. Staff are close by to offer new children reassurance at this time. They learn key words in children's home languages to help provide comfort. The manager is supportive to parents and provides them with advice to ensure that they feel comfortable to leave their children. Parental feedback indicates that they are very satisfied with the staff and the care provided. For example, they are provided with information on separation to help with the settling-in process. Staff talk to the children about their feelings, for example about feeling happy or sad. Children play well together and learn to take turns. They enjoy healthy meals and snacks and have opportunities to play outside in the garden. They also enjoy music and dancing sessions to help support their physical development.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who speak English as an additional language and children with SEND, make steady progress based on their starting points. Children's independence is fully encouraged during the routines of the day. For example, they learn to cut up fruit at snack time, pour their own drinks and put on their coats and hats before going outside. Children develop good numeracy skills. For example, they recognise and sort numbers and join in with number songs.
