She uses funding effectively, and works with outside agencies, to help all children to reach their full potential. Strong partnerships with other providers and local schools provide a consistent approach to children's care and learning. Safeguarding is effective.

There are robust recruitment and induction procedures in place.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff make accurate assessments of children's level of development as they observe them during play. They plan a good mix of child-led and adult-guided activities that support children to successfully achieve the next steps in their learning. All children make good progress. Babies and toddlers receive high levels of care and support. This helps them to settle well and begin to develop their physical and communication skills effectively. For example, they enjoy climbing in and out of large wooden boxes and up and down small steps. Staff joyfully praise their actions and provide ongoing commentary about what they have achieved. Older children show very good levels of imagination and language skills during their role play. They enthusiastically take part in pretending to be different animals. Staff skilfully ask questions to further extend the children's ideas and help them to think about possible solutions to resolve conflicts.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have lots of opportunities to play outside and to be physically active. Staff sensitively explain to children about how to play carefully together. This helps children learn how to keep themselves and others safe. Children who require additional support to help them develop their social and emotional skills have regular access to focused teaching in a well-resourced separate unit. The nursery is successfully taking part in a healthy eating programme. The staff recognise how their culture, ethos and environment can influence the health and well-being of the children in their care. Children are provided with nutritious snacks and meals. Managers work in close liaison with parents, for example, there are specialised parenting classes regularly available. This promotes a shared approach to developing children's personal, social and emotional skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain the skills they need for future learning and starting school. They take part in activities with enthusiasm and become motivated learners. Babies and toddlers show increasing levels of coordination as they learn how to stack toys successfully. Staff expertly follow children's interests. Older children confidently take part in large-group activities. They listen well to others and talk about their own experiences. They show good levels of independence and self-help skills.
