Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Staff are supported well in their roles. For instance, the manager meets with staff regularly to provide support for their training and work needs. Staff benefit from attending a variety of courses, including a course on behaviour management, which led to improvements in this area. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have good knowledge of procedures to follow should they have concerns about a child's welfare. They place high importance on keeping children safe. Staff carry out regular evacuation drills to ensure that children know how to leave the premises safely in emergencies. They carry out health and safety checks on all parts of the nursery to reduce the risk of accidents.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff help children to gain secure understanding of the natural world. For instance, they teach children the names of different mini-beasts as they play with toys insects in soil. Staff support children's communication and language development successfully. For example, they sing songs and teach children new words such as 'fly' and 'slither'. Staff provide good creative opportunities for children. For example, children use a range of textures and materials to create carefully arranged pictures for Father's Day. They paint recognisable pictures using brightly coloured paint.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident and motivated to learn. Staff have warm, caring relationships with children and meet their emotional needs skilfully. They value each child highly and interact warmly with them all. Children settle well. Staff teach children how to behave in safe ways. For instance, they use tools and materials carefully, and staff teach children good road safety routines. Children gain good independence skills. For example, they serve food and drink at snack time for themselves, and learn how to put on their coats when going outdoors. Staff teach children about ways to be healthy, for example taking daily physical challenges where they climb, jump and balance, and eating nutritious food.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children respect themselves and others from different religious and cultural backgrounds. They are well mannered. Older children share and take turns well, and staff support younger children to develop these skills successfully. Children have good early literacy skills. They enjoy looking at books and can recognise their names well. Children learn useful skills to support the next stage of their learning.
