This provision is good

n The senior managers and their staff are an ambitious and friendly team.

tables for lunch and younger children serve themselves from shared bowls and pour their own drinks. n All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, make good, steady progress from their starting points. n The manager has not fully considered all ways to gather and evaluate others' views in their self-evaluation. He does not use this information to help raise the good quality of teaching even further. n The sharing of information about children's learning at home is limited.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have a good understanding of how to identify a child who may be at risk of harm. They know the action to take to report such concerns. Recruitment and vetting procedures are robust. The manager provides regular staff meetings, supervision sessions and ample opportunities for staff to attend training courses to help support their continued development. Staff are effectively deployed and children are well supervised indoors and outdoors. Parents talk positively about the care their children receive at the nursery. They describe staff as 'kind and caring' and 'friendly'. Parents say they see progress in their children's development and that children are learning skills which will support their move on to the next stage of their learning.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan a broad range of stimulating activities indoors and outdoors that engage and sustain children's interest and motivation for learning. For example, babies explore their immediate environment with great enthusiasm and confidence. They are keen to join in with messy play activities, such as mixing different textures with play dough. Mathematical skills are well promoted. For instance, as children plant seeds, they talk about the different plant pots, compare sizes and count the number of beans they plant. Staff support children's language and communication skills effectively. They play alongside them, use new words such as 'scorpion' and 'antennae', ask interesting questions and encourage children to think for themselves. Children enjoy ample opportunities to be creative and use their imagination. For example, children engage in picnics with toys and use a wide rage of art materials to explore texture and colour.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are positive role models. They are kind, considerate and respectful to one another and children. Staff offer clear explanations to support children to play harmoniously in the nursery. They regularly praise children, which helps to promote children's emotional well-being. Children learn about being healthy. Staff help children understand where their food comes from, as they grow their own vegetables. They remind children of the importance of good hygiene, such as washing their hands before lunch. Children have plenty of opportunities to play outside and get fresh air and exercise. They play confidently in the spacious garden and playground each day, building their large physical skills. For example, babies practise their emerging walking skills and older children enjoy a game of hide and seek.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children learn key skills in readiness for their move on to school. They show high levels of concentration and involvement in activities. Children confidently communicate with their friends and staff. They are motivated to learn and make independent choices in what they would like to do. Children's early literacy skills are well supported. Younger children enjoy reading books and make marks in glitter. Older children write their own names and recognise letters which are of significance to them.
