Safeguarding arrangements are effective. The manager has a secure recruitment process in place. She regularly reviews staff suitability. Staff receive regular safeguarding updates at team meetings. Staff know how to recognise potential risks to children. They know what to do if they have any concerns about the welfare of a child. The environment is scrupulously monitored with a daily checklist. Staff undertake regular risk assessments. There is a very high standard of hygiene throughout the setting. Staff manage children's move to school well. They arrange school visits with children. The manager obtains consent from parents to provide detailed transition reports which support children's transition to school.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use the settling-in period to get a good understanding of what children already know. Children enjoy a wide range of activities both indoors and in the garden. Staff are well qualified and experienced. Staff encourage children's early language skills with incisive questioning. They allow children enough time to respond to questions. This is particularly helpful for those children who speak English as an additional language. Children enjoy story and song time in the morning and afternoon. They develop their literacy and physical coordination skills as they dance and sing. Staff regularly monitor children's progress. The manager works with staff to identify any gaps in children's learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are excited to arrive at nursery. They settle easily into the familiar daily routine. Staff are kind, warm and responsive to children's needs. They support children to understand the importance of sharing and taking turns. Staff use positive praise and encouragement to help children recognise their strengths and overcome challenges. Children develop their independence and self-care skills. They wash their hands thoroughly and make sure they are dry before sitting at the table. Children play an active role in looking after toys and resources. For example, children select the toys they want to play with and tidy them away when finished. The outside area is thoughtfully organised to make best use of the space. Children enjoy daily opportunities to play in the garden.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop good social skills in this small group setting. They make friendships and listen to each other's ideas. Children, including those learning English as an additional language, make good progress. Children learn to count, recognise shapes and form the letters of their name. They learn to dress themselves, put on their coat and fasten their shoes. Children are well prepared for the next stage of learning and for starting school.
