Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Good teaching and personalised learning experiences ensures all children make good progress. Staff have a good understanding of child development and use this to plan activities that keep children interested and motivated to learn. Children's laughter permeates throughout this good-quality nursery. Pre-school children are fascinated while enacting roles of superheroes and skilfully discuss the properties of two-dimensional shapes. Toddlers show good concentration skills while operating cause-and-effect toys. They giggle with delight while splashing in water and show good coordination while riding tricycles. Babies delight in playing musical instruments and become enthralled while exploring paint and sand.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Care practices are good. Staff spend time getting to know children during the settling-in period and successfully meet their emotional well-being needs. The key-person system is highly effective and children develop secure bonds with staff. Hygiene practices are good. Staff teach children very well about healthy living and provide them with nutritious foods. Children have a good understanding of keeping themselves safe and remind one another not to run too fast. They talk about 'stranger danger' and discuss the importance of road safety.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and resilient individuals who are never less than satisfied until a task is complete. They develop strong friendships and show care and affection towards one another. Older children demonstrate good perseverance skills while completing puzzles and skilfully write for different purposes. Younger children are fascinated while searching for bugs and enjoy looking at books. Babies babble with delight while looking into low-level mirrors. The support in place for children who speak English as an additional language is good. Close monitoring and professional support means children quickly gain a good command of English.
