This provision is good

n The manager has effective systems to evaluate the quality of the nursery. She uses feedback from parents and other professionals to identify priorities for development. This contributes to her determination for continuous improvement. n Staff receive good support to enhance their personal effectiveness and strengthen their understanding of how to support children. For example, the manager regularly meets with staff to discuss their teaching skills and review children's learning. This helps children to achieve good outcomes. n Staff build warm relationships with children. They use information gathered from parents to implement personal care routines for babies and children that mirror those from home. Children show that they feel happy and secure. n Staff provide opportunities for children to develop their literacy skills from an early stage. For example, babies enjoy looking at pictures as they explore books, and

She is vigilant and alert, and supports staff to promptly identify and address potential hazards. This helps to keep children safe as they play and learn. n Although children make good progress overall, the manager does not check that group activities are appropriate for all children, or that routines work well. n Children have inconsistent opportunities to recognise and use the languages they hear at home.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager demonstrates a strong commitment to helping children and their families achieve positive outcomes. She understands how to implement change to further develop her service. For instance, she now allocates more time to evaluate the quality of teaching and learning, and has made changes to the learning environment. This helps her to lead improvements. Safeguarding is effective. The manager follows child protection procedures well to help protect the well-being of children. She ensures staff know how to recognise potential risks to children, and what to do if they have concerns about children's safety or welfare. The manager engages well with other professionals, and shares relevant information. She makes effective use of additional funding to help to support children's numeracy and literacy. This contributes well to the progress that children make.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide activities that children enjoy and engage with, overall. Staff regularly share their accurate assessments of children's learning and involve parents in strategies to address potential gaps in their child's development. Staff help children to develop their literacy, for example, as they support pre-school children to recognise and write the letters of their name. This helps children to practise skills they will need when they move on to school. Staff use their positive interactions with children to help them make choices about what to do, and pick up on children's ideas well. They demonstrate this as they respond to toddlers who spread their fingers and ask to 'count to five' during number songs. This shows that children develop an emerging understanding of mathematics.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff use successful strategies to help children acquire good social skills. For example, children respond well to being given tasks and they show care towards others, such as when offering toys and snacks to their friends. Staff involve children in developing 'golden rules', and explain what is expected in ways that children understand. They encourage children to listen and follow instructions. Staff implement nursery procedures well, including assessing risks before going outdoors. This helps to ensure children's safety. Staff are deployed effectively to ensure babies are cared for by qualified and nominated staff. Babies' emotional well-being is supported well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Babies make good progress in their physical development and move about with increasing skill. Toddlers show good coordination when serving themselves and cutting fruit at snack time. This also helps to develop the small hand muscles they will use for writing. Older children sing softly to themselves in their home language, as they draw. Pre-school children use pens to write their names with self-assurance and skill. All children make good progress and are well prepared for the next stage in their learning and for their move to school.
