Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager monitors the nursery effectively. He spends time checking planning and assessment closely to ensure that he can readily identify and support any children requiring extra help. Other members of the management team go into group rooms to model activities with the children in order to improve staff practice and skills. Safeguarding is effective. Staff know what to do should they have concerns about a child's welfare. They prioritise children's safety. The building is secure and staff check all areas to ensure they are clean and safe for children's use. The manager carries out thorough background checks on all staff to ensure that they are suitable for their roles. Staff ratios meet requirements and ensure that children are supervised and supported well. Staff have effective links with parents and keep them well informed of their children's progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff teach older children good early literacy skills. For example, they teach children names of alphabet letters as they play with letters in the water tray and children learn to recognise their names. Staff support babies' creative development well. For instance, babies enjoy exploring the texture of real flower petals in water and experiment by making marks on paper using brightly coloured chalk. Older children use their imaginative skills well, for example as they make castles from cardboard boxes and other materials.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff have caring, nurturing relationships with children and a key-person system is in place. Staff interact warmly with the children, for example by using a gentle tone of voice and maintaining eye contact. Staff find out about children's preferences and home care routines to ensure they settle happily. Children's nappies are changed regularly throughout the day and this is recorded for parents' information. Children follow healthy and hygienic routines. For instance, staff take children outdoors each day for physical challenges, such as climbing, balancing and moving in different ways. They provide nutritious meals and snacks for children, who wash their hands before eating. Staff teach children how to act with care and caution. For instance, they walk sensibly indoors and take part in regular fire drills to ensure they leave the building safely in emergencies.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain good communication and language skills, for example as staff sing songs with them and tell children stories where they learn new words. Children are confident and motivated to learn. Older children share well and staff support younger children to gain these skills. Children learn to respect themselves and others from different racial and cultural backgrounds. They gain valuable skills to support the next stage of their learning.
