This provision is good

n Staff provide interesting and purposeful activities that engage children well. Children make good progress from their starting points. Staff work closely with parents to share details about children's progress and next steps, which helps to promote consistency in children's learning. n Children develop strong attachments with staff because of the effective key-person system.

Babies show a real sense of belonging. n The nursery provides a broad range of daily healthy snacks and meals.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff understand their responsibility to protect and safeguard children from harm; their knowledge is current and regularly reviewed. They know who to contact should they have concerns about a child's welfare. Rigorous recruitment procedures ensure all staff that work with children are vetted and are suitable to work with them. The management team implements effective performance management systems. For instance, staff have regular opportunities to discuss their professional development and to enhance their practice. They have frequent opportunities to complete training. A number of staff have recently completed sign language courses, which they intend to start implementing with the children.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children make good developmental progress. Staff complete regular detailed assessments to review children's progress and learning. This information is used to implement individual plans for what each child needs to learn next. This helps children to access a wide range of enjoyable learning opportunities, which motivates them to learn. Older children have fun opportunities to learn about diversity and the world around them as they learn about different cultural celebrations and festivals. For example, during Chinese New Year, children enjoyed playing in the role-play area which was set up as a Chinese restaurant. They took on different roles as they gathered orders and used the cash register. This supported children's mathematical development as they learned that money has value. Staff provide younger children with a range of opportunities to engage in sensory play. For instance, young children enjoy exploring different textures, such as

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff help children learn about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. For example, they promote good hygiene routines, and children quickly establish independence in managing their personal care needs. Staff are proactive in encouraging children's knowledge of keeping themselves safe at lunchtimes. For instance, children are reminded that they could injure themselves if they put knives into their mouths. Staff provide children with excellent opportunities to develop their physical skills and abilities. For example, older children have weekly opportunities to take part in tennis lessons, where they learn to develop their coordination and ball-control skills. Younger children develop their physical skills in the soft-play area as they are able to take physical risks in a safe environment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, develop the skills they need for their next stage in learning and their eventual move on to school. Older children learn about linking sounds and letters and are beginning to read simple words and sentences. Children develop their creative and imaginative skills during weekly drama sessions. They listen to familiar stories and recreate them, learning to express themselves in different ways. 2019 4 of 5
