Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff know what they need to do should they have concerns about a child's welfare. They prioritise children's safety. Staff are deployed well and appropriately qualified. They carry out daily health and safety checks in all parts of the nursery to protect children from harm. The manager has a robust recruitment procedure, which involves thorough background checks to assess staff's suitability for their roles. The manager monitors the nursery well. For instance, she checks planning and assessment, and keeps a close eye on children's progress. This enables her to provide help to children needing additional support. The manager provides regular feedback to staff from observations. This helps to improve their practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff help children to gain good understanding of the world. For instance, children play with different toy mini-beasts in soil, and staff teach them to identify the different species. Staff teach children good early mathematical skills. For example, younger children learn to sort objects by colour, and older children count securely to 10 and beyond. Staff provide children with good creative experiences, such as hand printing and colour mixing activities. Older children have good early literacy skills. For instance, staff sing songs and read stories, and children identify different letter sounds. Children recognise their names and some can write them. Staff question children effectively and give them time to think and respond. There is strong support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, who make good progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff have strong, warm relationships with children. They value children as individuals and interact positively with them. Staff get to know children's likes and dislikes, and use this information to plan enjoyable activities. The key-person system is securely in place and children settle well. Children gain good independence skills. For instance, they serve themselves at lunchtime and learn to dress themselves. Staff teach children how to behave in safe ways. For example, children know they have to behave with care and caution when crossing the road. They take part in regular evacuation procedures so that they understand how to leave the premises safely in an emergency. Staff teach children healthy routines, such as taking regular physical exercise and eating nutritious meals and snacks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and motivated to learn. Older children are able to operate simple computer software games and have good technology skills. Children learn to respect themselves and others, including those from a variety of racial or religious backgrounds. They learn to share and to take turns well. Children learn useful skills to support the next stage of their learning.
