n The managers regularly observe and evaluate staff's teaching practice. They also have individual meetings regularly with staff where they can discuss any concerns about teaching practice. Overall, this helps to improve teaching practice and children make good progress. n Staff offer a range of stimulating learning opportunities that keep children motivated and involved in their play. Staff provide children with plenty of exploratory experiences that encourage a sensory approach to learning. For example, children delight in using wooden sticks and tap to the music. n Staff develop strong relationships with parents. Staff obtain enough information from parents about what their children already know and can do when they first start, to help them plan their learning fully from the outset. They regularly discuss children's progress and encourage parents to provide information about what their child can do at

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The ambitious management team ensures that development plans are detailed and regularly reviewed. Risk assessments are discussed with children to identify and minimise potential hazards in the setting. The manager is highly motivated to achieving the best possible outcomes for children. The manager has an accurate view of the progress that groups of children are making. She uses this information well to identify and act on any gaps in children's learning. As a result, recent training in communication and language has supported children's development in this area. The manager ensures that any children who are not meeting age-related expectations is supported through early intervention. The manager uses additional funding, such as the early years pupil premium, effectively to support children's development and discusses this with parent's beforehand. Transforming areas of the

nursery after observations and consultations with staff, have encouraged children to being independent, active learners who arrive ready to explore.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff take frequent opportunities to integrate mathematics into children's play. They model how to use mathematical vocabulary and give children purposeful opportunities to count. For example, in the toddler room the children were counting the wooden numbered spoons and older children were counting there founded treasure. Children have first-hand opportunities to explore the natural weather. For example, during outdoor play, they stamp with their feet as they jump in the puddles. They wear waterproof outdoor clothing provided by the nursery. Children enjoy exploring natural items, such as marbles, sticks, acorns, and different herbs. This helps to support their exploratory and sensory skills. Babies enjoy sensory resources at a low level, for example bottles filled with different textures. This helps to ignite their curiosity.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff care well for children, meeting their needs and providing a secure environment. Young babies quickly develop strong bonds with their key persons and settle into their surroundings well. Older children manage their own personal needs. For example, children pour their own drinks and use cutlery to feed themselves. Older children confidently find their own coats and shoes before going outside to play. Children gain good independence skills. Meals and snacks provided for children are nutritious and well balanced. Children enjoy plenty of active play and exercise. For example, they excitedly join in with races outdoors. They talk about why their hearts beat faster after exercise.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain literacy skills. They learn to handle books and enjoy listening to stories. Children concentrate and listen well, for instance during small-group time. Very young children learn to feed themselves independently and older children follow good hygiene routines. Children behave well. Older children know how to share and are respectful and kind to each other. Children develop the skills needed for their eventual move to school.
