p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff know and understand the procedures to follow if they are concerned about a child and work closely with other professionals to safeguard children. Despite frequent changes to management since registration, new leaders have identified actions to aim to secure and bring about effective change. Staff are well supported through a thorough induction process, supervision and monitoring of their professional development. Staff work hard to engage parents and share information regarding children. They provide ideas for parents to progress their children's development at home. The manager monitors children's progress to identify any gaps in learning and provide additional support or interventions.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The environment is well planned and staff have adopted a new way of supporting children. This includes reacting spontaneously to children's interests and adapting activities accordingly. For example, children excitedly watched a volcano erupt, which evolved from a previous activity. Key persons know their children well and accurately assess the progress they are making. They plan for their next steps in their learning and ensure children have the appropriate skills for moving on to school. Staff support children's communication using resources such as signs and picture cards, to ensure children know and understand the routine of the nursery.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The staff settle children well on arrival and give reassurance as needed. They create a warm and nurturing environment and constantly talk to children in a kind and respectful manner. They encourage children to express their emotions using resources in the nursery, to demonstrate their feelings. Children learn to be considerate of each others' feelings and display excellent behaviour and manners. Snacks and meals provided are nutritious and healthy. Children's independence is promoted well. For example, even the younger children serve their own food and pour drinks. Children are given roles for helping set the table. This encourages their mathematical development when counting out plates and their self-esteem is promoted, as praise is given.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and development. Their language skills and mathematical development are promoted through everyday activities, for example, when watering plants and constructing buildings. Children are supported very well in their transitions to school. The staff provide reports of the children's development. Teachers visit the nursery and bring uniforms and school bags to share with the children. These are used in the nursery home corner and familiarise children with the logos of the schools they will be attending. This makes children excited about moving on and reassured about the next stage in their learning.
