This provision is good

n Staff work effectively with other settings and professionals to provide continuity for all children, including those who require additional support. n The well-qualified staff use their observations of children's play to accurately assess the progress they make in their learning and development.

Children behave well. n Self-evaluation is effective and leads to clear action plans for ongoing improvements for each room.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff demonstrate a good awareness of safeguarding and wider child protection issues. They are secure in their knowledge of how to identify and report concerns to protect children from harm. Staff use procedures, including risk assessment, to keep children safe. The management team implements robust procedures to verify the ongoing suitability of staff. Staff are required to complete training as part of their continued professional development. Parents receive good feedback through a variety of ways, for example regular open evenings, newsletters, social events and informative notice boards around the nursery.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff observe children during their play and make accurate assessments of children's development. They use this information to plan individual next steps for children's learning. Staff plan enjoyable learning activities that excite and motivate children, with a good variety of interesting tasks. For example, older children are very excited as they prepare to put the chick and duck eggs in the incubator. Staff ask children to choose names for each egg. Children think about the names and then in turn tell the staff the names they have chosen. This helps to develop children's thinking and language and communication skills. Babies have lots of fun as they crawl into the tray of water and splash around, as staff sing rhymes to them about the toy sea creatures in it. The babies clap and laugh, and try to repeat the rhymes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Key persons provide good emotional support for children and parents during settling-in periods and when they move on to the next room. They use information gathered from parents to maintain continuity of care. For instance, nutritious food that reflects children's dietary needs is provided. Staff are good role models for the children in their care. Children benefit from plenty of fresh air and exercise each day. They spend lots of time outdoors. All children have lots of fun outside as they access a wide selection of activities and resources. For example, children run around chasing the bubbles their friends create from the bubble blowers. Staff promote children's independence well. They encourage children to have a go before they help them, for instance with taking off their coats and preparing for snacks. Staff provide good opportunities for children to learn about their local community and develop a sense of belonging. For example, they

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress relative to their starting points. This includes children for whom the nursery receives funding. Children recognise their name when they arrive at the nursery and enjoy circle time. This helps to promote early reading skills. Children of all ages show curiosity to visitors and readily engage them in conversation. This demonstrates good self-confidence and self-awareness. Children develop the skills they need to support their future learning.
