Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The recruitment procedures for new staff are robust. The manager checks staff's ongoing suitability to work with children.

She gathers feedback from parents, children and staff. Changes to the outdoor area provide further opportunities for children to extend their learning outdoors. The manager monitors the progress made by groups of children. She shares this with staff and together they identify ways to support and extend children's good progress. For example, older children develop their understanding of the world.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff follow children's interests well and enhance their learning experiences. They observe children closely and identify what they need to learn next. Staff model how to stack blocks on top of each other. Younger children learn how to build and construct. They build their own tower and knock it down. Staff promote children's communication and language development well. They sing nursery rhymes when they play alongside younger children. Children listen to and join in with actions to their favourite songs. Older children confidently sing songs in front of groups of children. Staff encourage younger children to develop their mathematical skills. They ask them to count objects. Children count to five.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The cook offers children a healthy range of freshly prepared meals. Menus are displayed for parents to view to ensure they are aware of what children eat. Staff provide opportunities for children to learn about their local community. They take children to visit shops to buy ingredients for use in baking activities. Staff also take children to visit the library, where they choose books to bring back to the nursery. Children develop their understanding of their own and others' cultures. They try foods and listen to music from other countries. Staff know the children well and are skilled at helping children settle when they first arrive. They use bubble mixture to blow bubbles into the air. This helps to divert children's attention from parents, and children settle quickly. Staff encourage children to do things for themselves. Young children peel bananas and older children pour their own drinks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those in receipt of funding, make good progress in their learning. Young children show good communication and language skills and listen well. For example, they follow instructions when staff ask them to shake and then stop playing musical instruments. Older children communicate their needs well. They learn to take turns in conversations and value the views of others. Children who speak English as an additional language develop well. They are at the expected stage of development for their age in their speaking skills. Overall, they develop a good understanding of English. Older children develop their imagination. They use boxes and call it a 'train'. Children are well prepared for their move on to school.
