This provision is good

n Leaders reflect effectively on the quality of the provision and have a clear vision for the future. They value the contributions that parents and staff make to this process. For example, following verbal feedback, they have made positive changes to the ways in which they communicate with parents. n Staff provide children with a good range of activities that spark their curiosity and imagination. For example, they enjoy making 'pizza' from play dough using a range of interesting tools, such as cutters and rolling pins. n Partnerships with parents are strong. They speak highly of the service and comment on how well their children are supported by staff. n The key-person system is effective and helps children to settle in quickly. Staff recognise when children need extra comfort and reassurance. For example, when children first arrive and are unsettled, staff give them lots of extra attention. n Staff act as good role models and teach children to value and respect each other and

their environment. Children are kind to each other as they share and take turns during play.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Leaders have a clear understanding of the areas for development for the nursery. They have made significant changes to improve outcomes for children. For example, they have recently introduced new resources that encourage children to lead their own learning and play. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure knowledge of how to keep children safe. They know the procedures for reporting concerns in relation to the welfare of children. Staff complete robust risk assessments indoors and outdoors to ensure that the environment is safe. Rigorous recruitment procedures ensure that all staff are suitable for their roles. Staff are well supported to build on their existing teaching skills. They benefit from regular supervision to identify areas of practice that can be improved further, and subsequently receive targeted training.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff work in close partnership with parents to obtain comprehensive information about what children like, know and can do when they first join. This helps to support continuity in care. Staff know children well and provide them with a broad range of play and learning opportunities based on their interests. Staff use their good teaching skills to extend children's learning further. For example, children construct a 'swimming pool' with wooden blocks, and are supported by staff to measure and predict how many children can fit in. Staff encourage babies to develop their imagination as they teach them to care for 'baby dolls' using a variety of props, such as bottles and blankets. Staff complete accurate observations of children and monitor their overall progress well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are supported to settle in well when they first arrive. This is because staff have developed good settling-in arrangements for new children. Children enter the nursery happily and separate from their main carer quickly to play. They show that they feel safe and secure. Key persons share detailed information with parents at the end of the session about their child's day, including activities and what they will be doing next. This supports partnerships in care and learning. Children behave well and respond appropriately when staff gently reinforce rules, such as no running inside. Children demonstrate high levels of independence as they wash and dry their own hands before meals and assist with setting tables. They relish in the praise they receive from staff.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points. They gain the skills required for the next stage in their learning, including transition to school. Older children are able to write their names and sound out letters with confidence. Babies develop their physical skills as they climb stairs, navigate platforms and go down the slide. Children enjoy their time in the outdoors, being active in the fresh air.
