This provision is good

n Staff develop positive relationships with the children. Children self-register when they arrive at the nursery and develop a good sense of belonging and community. Their behaviour is good. n Staff know how children learn and develop through play. Managers and staff check the progress of each child and groups of children. When identifying gaps in children's learning, staff provide well-targeted support to help children catch up with their peers. Children make good progress in relation to what they knew before they joined the nursery. They are well prepared for the next stages in their learning and development, including the move on to school. n Staff work well with outside professionals to help ensure that children and their families receive the appropriate support they need. n Managers support staff well and encourage them to attend professional development. They consistently monitor and evaluate the provision to help ensure that children

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Thorough recruitment and induction processes help ensure that staff are suitable for their roles. Staff have a good understanding of safeguarding requirements and the reporting procedures. Effective systems for monitoring staff performance help managers to identify any areas requiring improvement and provide good support for staff to improve the quality of their practice. Staff attend training to develop their knowledge and understanding of how children learn. Managers consistently seek the views and suggestions of staff, parents, children and others to provide a good service. Parents are happy with the good service they receive from this caring staff team.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gain relevant information from parents to assess what their children know and can do. They make regular observations of children's learning and, overall, plan stimulating activities to support their good development. Staff guide children as they play and show them how to handle resources with care. Children have good attitudes to learning and try new activities and resources. They use their imagination well as they play. For example, younger children learn to roll and cut play dough into different shapes. Older children purposefully build their favourite models and show them to staff, who praise them for their good efforts. Children generally enjoy stories. They keenly explore different musical instruments and listen to the sounds they make.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children's emotional well-being and welfare effectively. They also share their behaviour procedures with parents and their children so that they are clear about the expectations. Children learn to share resources fairly, take turns and respond well to instructions. They socialise well during meals and understand that they need to wash their hands before eating to reduce the risk of infections. Children enjoy outdoor play, fresh air and exercise. For example, younger children can ride small scooters and push wheeled toys carefully. Older children can manoeuvre bicycles safely. Children make regular visits to places of interest and learn about the local community. Staff undertake regular risk assessments on the premises and resources to keep children safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children achieve well and any gaps in their learning are closing. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities equally do well. Younger children become used to routines. Older children recognise numerals, can sort and count objects. They know some letters and sounds and are learning to write words such as their names correctly. Children care for living things. For example, they understand that plants need water to grow.
