Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager supports staff well. Staff meet with the manager individually and their work and training needs are identified and supported effectively. For instance, staff attended a course on supporting children with communication difficulties, which led to improvements in this area. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have good knowledge of procedures to follow should they have concerns about a child's welfare. Staff ensure that children are kept safe. They carry out safety checks on all parts of the nursery and check toys and resources to help to prevent accidents.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide good ways for children to develop their creative skills. For example, children explore the texture of foam, feathers and paint to create their own artwork. Staff teach children new words to describe the different textures. Staff support children's early literacy skills well. For instance, they teach children to recognise their names and play enjoyable games to support their letter and sound knowledge. Staff help children to gain good understanding of the world, for example by teaching children names of different tools as they use a play 'work bench'.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff have warm, caring relationships with children. They value them highly as individuals and take care to find out about their likes and dislikes. Staff use this information well to offer enjoyable activities. Children settle well. Staff teach children how to behave in safe ways. For example, they explain the dangers of water spills and children help to mop them up. Staff teach children about road safety and they act with care and caution when outdoors. Children gain good independence skills. For instance, they serve themselves at lunchtime and pour their own drinks. Staff teach children healthy routines, such as by providing nutritious meals and regular physical challenges outdoors where they climb, run and balance.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and motivated to learn. They learn to respect others from different racial and cultural backgrounds, and share and take turns well. Children concentrate on tasks and are enthusiastic learners. They are articulate communicators and staff support younger children to gain these skills effectively. Children gain valuable skills to support the next stage of their learning.
