p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff undertake regular safeguarding training and know what to do should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. There are efficient procedures to enable the safe recruitment and induction of new staff. The manager has a good vision of how she wants the nursery to develop. She ensures that robust supervision procedures are followed. Staff regularly access training which builds their knowledge and skills. For example, all staff have completed training on promoting positive behaviour and enthusiastically implement this knowledge. The manager gathers views of staff and parents to help her identify strengths and areas to improve. Parents speak very highly of the warm and friendly staff. The manager regularly checks children's progress to identify and address any potential gaps in learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff make regular observations of children's activities and interests. They use this knowledge to plan their next steps in learning. Children engage well in a range of learning experiences and use their imaginations well. For instance, children explore different coloured paints and observe how colours change when they are mixed together. Staff provide a stimulating environment that children enjoy exploring. Children enjoyed learning about life cycles and how a caterpillar makes a cocoon and turns into a butterfly. Staff support children's mathematical skills well. They encourage children to count objects and match them to numbers.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are enthusiastic and support children's independence well. Children are encouraged to serve their own snacks and pour their own water during snack times. Children demonstrate warm and secure emotional attachments with staff. Staff listen to children, encourage their participation in activities and give praise for their efforts and achievements. Children have plenty of opportunities to benefit from daily exercise and fresh air. They ride tricycles skilfully and balance on tyres. This helps them to develop confidence and promotes good physical coordination skills. Staff teach hygiene practices and promote children's health and well-being. Children are encouraged to wash their hands before mealtimes and talk about the importance of eating healthily. Staff promote children's communication and language skills throughout the day. For example, children confidently engage with authorised visitors in conversation. School-aged children enjoy

Children are confident and self-assured learners who play well together. They enjoy counting and can identify a variety of shapes. Children show good early literacy skills. They can link sounds to the letters of the alphabet and write letters in their own names. Service And Holiday Play Scheme., 10 July 2019 4 of 5
