Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are deployed well to carefully supervise children throughout the day. They ensure that children always play in a safe and secure environment. Staff know how to report and act on any indications that children may be at risk of abuse or neglect. The manager checks that staff's knowledge and understanding are up to date through rigorous supervision procedures. The manager and directors are very reflective and take good account of the views of staff and parents through regular discussions, questionnaires and meetings. There are robust action plans and policies to underpin the nursery's strategic development. For example, staff training on behaviour management and assessment has a positive impact on children's achievement. The manager closely reviews the achievement of all groups of learners to further contribute to the action plans for further development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff make good use of detailed information from parents to accurately assess children's individual starting points. They provide rich and varied activities to help children acquire the skills they need for their future learning. For example, they help children to make decisions about the toys they want to play with and choose songs and rhymes to sing together. Staff encourage children to recognise their own achievement and try hard. For instance, children's work is attractively displayed around the room and used as a stimulus for further learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children know their key person well and build good relationships with all staff. This contributes to the smooth start that children make in their educational experiences. Staff successfully support children to develop their social skills and gain confidence in their own ability. They help children to manage and improve their own behaviour. They support children with regular and purposeful praise and guidance and show respect for their achievement. Staff encourage children to appreciate how to live healthily. For example, they provide healthy fruit-based snacks and discuss the benefits to their health as the children eat them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children, including those who speak English as an additional language, strongly develop their ability to follow a conversation and make pertinent and interesting comments. Children enjoy looking at a 'lift the flap' book together and anticipating what will happen next. Older children make particularly good progress in their mark-making skills.
