p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager ensures that staff are confident in their understanding of the signs and symptoms which may give cause for concern about a child's welfare. Staff have completed training updates about how to identify any children who may be at risk of exposure to extreme ideas or behaviours. The manager supports staff in gaining new skills and knowledge, for instance, through regular training. Staff use their learning effectively. For example, staff training on strategies to support children's behaviour has had a positive impact on children's experiences. Staff are clear in their understanding of the procedures to follow if a child has an accident in the nursery. They make accurate records and inform parents as quickly as possible. Safeguarding is effective. The manager works effectively with other professionals to support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff understand how to support the learning of the very youngest children. For instance, they provide baskets of natural materials. Children become engrossed in their activity and concentrate for long periods. Children enjoy gaining new physical skills. They practise catching and kicking balls and gain satisfaction from their achievements. Children are prepared well for the next stage in their learning. For example, older children look forward to attending school. They sing songs about what they will do and learn about the new routines they will follow. Parents are supported in extending their children's learning at home. Children benefit from the continuity in their learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children of all ages carry out simple manageable tasks. For example, younger children help tidy away their resources and older children carefully lay the table at lunchtime. They use their emerging literacy to find the cups with their names on. Children are polite and behave well. They have interesting opportunities to learn about their similarities and differences. Children excitedly point to a display of themselves, each other and their special people. They learn about their local community as they go on walks and visit libraries and shops.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are keen to experiment and are confident, self-motivated learners. They pour coloured water down tubes and watch in fascination as it moves through them. Children laugh with delight as they jump in puddles they have made and invite others to share in their experiences. They are interested in the world around them and talk excitedly about a plane they spot in the sky. Children use their developing imaginations as they pretend to 'cook'. They are able to direct their own play, are happy and enjoy their activities.
