n There have been extensive improvements since the last inspection. The provider and staff work effectively together and have successfully addressed all the actions.

Children are happy, settled and enjoy their time in the nursery. Their behaviour is excellent. n The well-qualified staff are committed to professional development.

help parents support learning at home. Parents speak very highly of the nursery and state they have seen a great improvement and feel it is a home from home for children. n Systems for tracking groups of children to enable staff to accurately check on any differences or gaps in learning are yet to be fully embedded. n Self-evaluation is in the early stages of becoming embedded into practice to raise the quality of the setting to a higher level.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good knowledge of the possible signs of abuse and fully understand the procedures to follow should they have any child protection concerns. Staff implement effective risk assessments to help minimise risks to children. This helps to ensure their safety and welfare as they play. Since the last inspection, the provider has implemented peer-on-peer observations as part of the process to monitor the ongoing suitability of staff. This has helped the provider to monitor the effectiveness of teaching well. She identifies strong aspects of teaching and what staff can do to improve further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff assess children's achievements and know their key children well. They make regular observations of what children can do to support their development. Children play confidently in a stimulating, well-organised and interesting environment that helps to support all areas of learning well. They are keen to explore the resources and concentrate well during their play. For example, children enjoy listening to familiar stories. Their early literacy skills develop well because they talk about the pictures and anticipate what will happen next. Staff skilfully include mathematics as they ask children about different sizes and patterns on the pages. Children learn to recognise their names in the environment and practise either writing their full name or the first letter of their name.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well and are learning to be tolerant and respectful towards each other. They demonstrate that they understand how others might be feeling as they discuss people being sad, worried or nervous. Children develop their physical abilities well. For instance, they enthusiastically take part in music and movement activities, closely following staff's lead as they stomp and wiggle. Staff support children well to learn about healthy lifestyles. Children are planting and growing vegetables and understand that they need water to help them grow. Children learn about differences between themselves and other people very well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Overall, children are working within the expected levels of development for their age. They are very confident and are eager to talk to visitors about what they are doing. Staff promote children's thinking skills well. For instance, children decorate junk models and make their own choices from available resources. They learn how to sit at group time and to take account of each other when speaking. Children gain good skills in readiness for the next stage in their learning and their eventual move on to school.
