Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Leaders and staff have children's safety and welfare at the centre of everything they do at the nursery. They have a good understanding of the procedures to follow if they have any concerns regarding children's welfare. All staff ensure they carry out thorough risk assessments, including around the security of the nursery, and take the necessary steps to minimise potential hazards. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager has robust systems in place to maintain and improve the quality of the nursery. Staff receive regular support and supervision with good opportunities for continued professional development.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Teaching is of a good standard. Children are highly motivated and eager to learn. Staff use small-group times effectively to help extend younger children's listening and attention skills. Children enjoy a variety of opportunities to develop their imagination, for example when taking part in an interactive story session related to farm animals. They have fun predicting the name and making sounds of farm animals. Younger children enjoy playing with shape building blocks and develop speech as they look through books. Staff complete good observations and assessments of children's learning and development. They work closely with parents to share this information so that they can build on what children learn at home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a welcoming and friendly environment. Children are well behaved, happy and settle quickly. They develop close relationships with their key persons and other adults, who are kind and caring. Staff provide children with plenty of opportunities for fresh air and physical development. Children enjoy washing and bathing dolls with sponges, bubbles and towels. Younger children stretch their arms up in the air and jump to catch bubbles with delight. Staff teach children to manage their self-care needs effectively, for example washing their hands at appropriate times. Staff promote children's good health equally well. Meals are varied and nutritious, and children and are offered plenty of fresh fruit and water throughout the day.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those with SEND, make good progress from their starting points. Older children are developing skills to read and write their names. All children show a keen interest in books, and older children anticipate what will happen next in stories. Children have a good understanding of mathematics and confidently count and identify simple shapes as they play. Children are well equipped with the skills they need in readiness to move on to school.
