Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The dedicated leadership team has a strong drive to continually improve the quality of the nursery. There is a good culture of regularly evaluating activities and experiences for children and families. Staff have frequent opportunities to engage in professional development and are committed to continuing to improve their teaching skills and personal effectiveness. Safeguarding is effective. There is a thorough recruitment and vetting system in place to help ensure the suitability of staff. All staff have a good understanding of their safeguarding responsibilities and confidently know what procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child's safety and welfare. Staff conduct thorough risk assessments to help to minimise hazards and to keep children safe and secure.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide varied and imaginative learning opportunities based on children's interests and new priorities for learning, both indoors and outdoors. Young children enjoy being active and developing their creativity. They have fun singing songs, searching for dinosaurs in leaves and soil, and engaging in role play in the mud kitchen. Older children enjoy participating in a wide range of sensory experiences that support their language and mathematical knowledge. For instance, they explore different fruits and mixtures to make potions and search for bugs in sand. Children's language, communication and literacy skills are supported effectively. This is evident as children are skilfully supported to recall familiar stories, such as 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears', with the use of interactive props.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children build trusting relationships with staff and show good attachments. Staff teach children effectively about expected behaviour and the importance of showing consideration for others. Children take turns with their peers and are extremely polite. Children have frequent opportunities to learn about adopting healthy lifestyles. For instance, they enjoy making fruit kebabs for their lunch and have daily opportunities to be active and develop their physical skills through outdoor play and dancing.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are independent and inquisitive learners. They make good progress and learn a variety of new skills which support them with their future move on to school. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those for whom English is an additional language are extremely well supported. They benefit from regular small language-focused activities with exciting props and flashcards. Children learn to respect their similarities and differences and gain a growing understanding of diversity and the wider world.
