This provision is good

n Staff have a good knowledge of the early years foundation stage and understand how to promote children's learning. Children are keen to join in with experiences and make good progress. n Children demonstrate an exceptional understanding of what it means to be healthy. Staff provide extensive opportunities for children to take an active part in their own self-care. n Staff work extremely hard to provide a safe, highly stimulating and exciting environment for children. Children have developed secure bonds with their key person and are very happy to come into the nursery. They demonstrate high levels of self- confidence and self-esteem. n Staff complete precise assessments of children's progress and share them with parents regularly. This helps parents to be part of their children's ongoing learning. Feedback from parents is very positive and they say that they feel the standard of care is excellent, and their children are happy and safe.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The managers are experienced and skilled practitioners who have a thorough understanding of the requirements of the early years foundation stage. They have developed effective partnerships within the local authority, which helps them to drive improvement forward. For example, they have recently attended further child protection training and enhanced the assessments of children's progress. Safeguarding is effective. There are robust procedures to follow if staff have concerns about children's welfare. Children join in with a weekly fire-drill practise which helps them to learn how to respond in emergency situations. Managers use tracking assessments to identify any gaps in children's development. This helps them to focus group plans and strengthen children's knowledge, such as in mathematics. Managers work closely together in partnership and students are supported effectively in the nursery. They are provided with policies and

guidance to help them fully understand their role.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Teaching is consistently strong and staff are skilled at enhancing children's play. For example, they prepare the resources in areas of children's interests and use them to develop their skills. Children 'cook' for staff in the role-play kitchen and request 'Chinese food' from the menu. Other children access writing materials independently and show high levels of concentration as they use different colours to form recognisable letters in their name. Staff model language clearly to younger children and encourage them to develop their vocabulary. Staff complete detailed observations of children's learning and use these to form the assessments of their progress. They gather information from school and children's parents to help plan the next steps in children's learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff prioritise children's well-being and safety. They have an excellent knowledge of children's specific care needs and ensure that they feel safe, happy and valued as individuals. Children show an exceptional knowledge of other people, places and festivals around the world. They delight in developing their physical skills as they search for the 'Chinese New Year piggy' in the forest area and make links to prior learning activities. Staff actively promote children's personal, social and emotional development. They encourage children to take risks and children show high levels of trust in staff as they attempt to climb to the top of the frame outdoors. Staff consistently praise children for all of their efforts. This has a very positive impact on their emotional well-being.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in relation to their starting points. The majority are working within the stages typically expected for their age and some older children show they are ready to start school. For example, they have an understanding of letters and the sounds they represent and can write their name without any support. Young children develop social skills and show a willingness to join in with new experiences which develop their skills. Children are motivated to learn and show enjoyment in their play.
