p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

The manager does not have effective systems in place to ensure evaluation is strongly established and embedded in the nursery. As a result, weaknesses are not identified quickly and addressed to promote even stronger outcomes for children. Staff are aware they can approach the manager to discuss any issues or concerns. However, systems for providing regular supervision, training, guidance, and support for staff to enhance their professional skills and knowledge are not fully in place. Staff do not understand the wider aspects of safeguarding. For example, they do not have a rigorous understanding of the 'Prevent' duty guidance. However, the manager has recognised this and arranged training to develop staff knowledge of this matter. Staff know how to recognise signs of abuse and neglect, and how to report their concerns to promote children's welfare. The manager ensures that all staff and people working on the premises have undertaken

Disclosure and Barring Service checks. Staff complete thorough risk assessment of the indoors, outdoors and outings to ensure children are safe. They are well deployed, which helps to ensure children are well supported and supervised at all times. Safeguarding is effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use assessments of children well to identify any gaps in their development and ensure that they get the support they need to catch up quickly. Staff interact with children well and support their learning. For example, they use skilful questions to help older children to think about measurements and dimensions as they play. Staff in the toddler room listen to children's conversation well and respond appropriately to encourage their speaking skills. While in the baby room, staff ensure they are sitting at children's height where they can crawl over and join in activities from a secure base. This helps children to form positive relationships. Staff praise children and share their achievements with each other so they know what children can do. Staff ensure children have access to the outdoors daily where they are able to explore and develop their physical and coordination skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The weaknesses in leadership and management have had an impact on children's welfare, although these are being addressed. Nevertheless, staff ensure the environment is clean and safe for children. They encourage children to be independent, for example younger children are encouraged to feed themselves while older children care for their personal need with some staff support as and when needed. Staff build effective relationships with children and parents from the beginning. They support children's health, emotional and physical well-being. Children are happy.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop good social skills, for instance they learn to take turns, to share and to play well together. Younger children move about with confidence and are busy exploring. Toddlers and older children listen well and express their views and ideas competently. They understand how to use technology, know the value of numbers, make marks, and write their name. Children are supported well for future learning and eventually school.
