p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The management team shares a clear vision for the nursery. Managers seek the views of staff, parents and children and build these into their reflective practice. Action plans are sharply focused and used effectively to drive continual improvement. For example, plans are in place for extensive refurbishment to the outside space. Assessment data is used to monitor progress for individual children and different groups. Gaps in achievement, for example between boys and girls, are identified and interventions are in place to help close these gaps. Strong pastoral and professional support for staff ensures that staff morale is high. Safeguarding is secure. Staff have a robust understanding of how to identify and refer child protection concerns. The relationship with outside agencies is strong. In particular, the setting works with local schools to support families with the transition to Reception Year.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff demonstrate a good understanding of the learning and development needs of the children.They use assessment information effectively to plan engaging activities which reflect the interests of the children. As a result, children of all ages show enthusiasm to learn as they confidently explore the well-resourced environment. Older children show focus and resilience as they learn to write their name. Staff skilfully scaffold children's learning and offer a range of resources, such as textured letters, to support their growing skills. Ready praise helps to build children's confidence. Younger children shriek with excitement as they paint with a specialist art teacher. They explore colour, number and pattern and count the stamps they make. This supports their mathematical development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children at the setting share exceptional bonds with the staff and thrive under their care. Staff show exemplary knowledge and understanding of how to identify and manage risk and are highly committed to keeping children safe. Children follow this example and learn to keep themselves and others safe, for example by noticing when a friend is not sitting safely on a chair. Children consistently show perseverance and are proud of their achievements. Staff empower children to recognise and manage their emotions. This is reflected in the consistently high levels of positive behaviour seen at the setting. Independence is encouraged, for example through helping to keep shared areas tidy. Mealtimes provide opportunities for children to learn about healthy eating. They develop excellent social skills as they talk and eat together.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children attending the nursery have a happy and positive experience. Children make good and sometimes better than good progress from their starting points. Gaps between groups have been identified and are closing. Story and puppet time helps to build the early literacy skills of younger children. Older children share toys, put on their coats independently and line up with their friends ready for outdoor play. Children leave the setting well equipped for the social and emotional demands of the next stage in their learning.
