Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff effectively assess and identify potential hazards in the environment and take swift action to minimise them. Security measures are good. As a result, children play in a safe and secure environment. Staff understand their role in protecting children and they are knowledgeable of the process for sharing their concerns about a child in their care. Recruitment procedures and the induction of staff into the nursery are good. Managers and staff successfully identify and access professional development opportunities to raise their knowledge of good childcare and use this to enhance their practice. For example, they consider different ways to help manage children's behaviour.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff encourage parents to share information about their child's development when they start at the nursery. They spend time getting to know children, at home initially and then through visits to the nursery. Staff use their observations and assessments of children to plan a range of activities. Children independently select resources for play. Younger children thoroughly enjoy exploring their environment. They confidently climb and roll over soft-play resources and excitedly jump onto soft mats. Staff provide lots of sensory experiences. Toddlers explore how different textures feel. They mix paint, glitter, rice and lentils together, making patterns and marks with their hands. Staff use lots of repetition of simple words to support children's language and communication skills. Older children recall favourite stories, particularly enjoying one about a family looking for a bear. They add great detail as they draw the characters and retell the story. Children work well

together as they build and construct different objects and show good levels of concentration. All children enjoy singing songs and rhymes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff know children well. They understand their individual needs and routines and take time to meet them throughout the day. Children enjoy nutritious meals and have access to drinking water. They have time to rest and relax during the day. Younger children remain comfortable throughout the day through the regular nappy changing routines. Staff work closely with parents to support children through developmental milestones, such as toilet training. All children learn to wash their hands at important times during the day, such as mealtimes and after using the bathroom. Behaviour is good. Clear and consistent routines and expectations support children as they learn to share and take turns with the toys. Children spend time being physically active in the garden.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their individual starting points in learning. They learn the essential skills that support them in readiness for the move on to school. Children confidently count and recognise numbers in the environment. Older children register their attendance at nursery. They link letters to their names and begin to start forming them as they practise writing their names. Younger children develop confidence and vocalise their needs and wants. They enjoy pressing different buttons on electronic equipment and listen to the sounds that they make.
