Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure understanding of what to do if they have concerns about a child's welfare. Staff help to ensure children's safety and reduce the risk of accidents by checking all parts of the nursery, and toys and resources. The recruitment process is thorough. The manager carries out comprehensive background checks on staff to keep children safe. Monitoring is effective. The manager reviews all planning and assessment records closely to identify and support any children falling behind in their development. She supports staff well in their roles. The manager has regular individual meetings with staff to review their performance and training needs. Staff attended a course on behaviour management which led to improvements in this area.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide interesting activities to support children's understanding of the world. For instance, older children enjoy creating meals from real food, such as cooked spaghetti and a range of vegetables. Staff teach them vegetable names and children grow their own vegetables in the garden. Staff support older children's early literacy skills effectively, for example by teaching children to recognise their names when they arrive at the nursery. Staff support babies' creative development well. For instance, they share simple instruments with babies and sing songs to support their musical skills. Children have good opportunities to develop a wide range of physical skills. They jump, balance and climb on different equipment outdoors.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff have strong, nurturing relationships with children. They find out information about children's personalities, likes and dislikes to provide activities they enjoy and establish familiar routines. Children settle well. They gain good independence skills. For instance, children help to lay tables at lunchtime and serve themselves. Staff teach children good safety awareness. For example, staff talk to children about the importance of mopping up water spills to prevent accidents. Children learn about road safety and know how to act with care and caution when walking outdoors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and motivated to learn. Older children count securely and use play tape measures to compare sizes of different objects. Children share and take turns well. Staff support younger children to learn these skills effectively. Children play cooperatively together and learn to respect others from different religious or cultural backgrounds. Children learn valuable skills to support the next stage of their learning.
