Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The provider ensures staff receive regular training in child protection and wider safeguarding issues. Staff confidently fulfil their role to protect children from harm. They know what to do should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The provider implements effective recruitment processes to help assure the suitability of adults working with children. The provider regularly reviews the progress made by individual children and the different groups of children that attend. She analyses the information to help her review, coach and develop staff practice.

Parents are positive about the nursery. They state that they feel their children are well cared for and make good progress in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good understanding of how to promote children's learning and development. They talk to children as they play, introducing new words to help build children's vocabularies. Babies babble and giggle as they explore books and build with bricks. Staff name objects and repeat babies' sounds to them. Older children confidently identify fruits and vegetables as they take turns in matching games. Staff encourage them to recall prior experiences. For example, children talk about Halloween when they identify pumpkins. Staff work closely with parents to help them gain additional support for their child if needed. They are enthusiastic to use ideas they gain from training to promote children's progress in learning. For instance, staff use a range of strategies to support children's communication and language development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children settle quickly, self-selecting toys and resources to enjoy with their friends, both inside and outside. Staff provide a safe environment, quickly mopping up any spillages to reduce potential hazards. Children learn how to keep themselves safe. For instance, they learn how to safely use climbing frames outside and consider the space they need to ride on balance bicycles. Children are curious about the world. They thoughtfully watch insects and find safe places for them in the garden. Staff ensure children's emotional well-being is supported through times of change. For example, they invite Reception teachers to the nursery to meet children prior to their move to school. Staff visit schools with children to enable them to become familiar with the new environment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress given their starting points and capabilities. They are active learners who confidently explore the environment. Babies receive gentle encouragement as they begin to walk and speak their first words. Older children share and take turns as they play. All children thoroughly enjoy listening to stories and sharing books. Older children demonstrate good listening and attention. They follow instructions to tidy up and wash their hands before they eat their freshly prepared lunch. Children gain the key skills that will support the next stage in their learning and the eventual move to school.
