Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager ensures that staff understand the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about children's welfare. Staff remain vigilant about and confidently identify child protection issues. Robust recruitment procedures are in place, which helps to ensure all those who have access to children are suitably vetted. The manager and staff work notably well together as a team. This helps to provide a welcoming and happy atmosphere within the nursery. Overall, supervisory and appraisal meetings are effective. Staff receive some relevant coaching and attend mandatory training programmes. Parents are very complimentary about the quality of the nursery. In particular, they appreciate the friendliness of staff, the welcome they and their child receive and how well their child has progressed since starting at the nursery.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good understanding of how children learn and develop. They teach children a wide range of skills and interact positively with them while they play. Staff carefully observe and assess the progress children make in their learning. They review this information with the manager and plan activities well, which helps to maintain children's interests and exploratory skills. Staff can talk in detail about what children enjoy, know and can do and how they plan to help them progress. Children have good opportunities to be creative. They explore paint in interesting ways, including by using cars as painting tools to make different patterns. Staff provide good opportunities for children to explore their senses. For example, children giggle as they relax in a home-made den with torches and are captivated by the texture of jelly as they squish it in their fists.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are polite and behave well. Staff manage children's behaviour very well and encourage them to share and take turns. Children are given lots of praise and encouragement, which helps to raise their self-esteem. They develop their independence as they put on their own coats and as they collect their own lunches from a trolley. Children eat nutritious snacks, have regular exercise and follow good hygiene routines. Children's physical development is promoted well in a range of ways, including as they balance and climb on equipment and manoeuvre wheeled toys.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those with SEND and those in receipt of additional funding, make good progress in their learning. They participate in group activities and are curious and keen to learn. Children gain good skills to support their future learning. For example, younger children learn to love books as staff read stories to them. Older children are encouraged to take orders and write pretend lists in their role-play café. Staff provide regular opportunities for children to experience outings within the local area, such as trips to the park and local farm. These outings help to promote children's understanding of their local community and the wider world.
