Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Members of the management team have an in-depth knowledge of safeguarding procedures and know how to report a concern about a child. They make good use of a robust safer recruitment and induction procedure. This ensures that all staff members understand their roles and responsibilities. Members of the management team have a clear plan and vision in place for the nursery. They accurately review the quality of the provision and systematically identify areas for further development, taking into account other people's views. Members of the management team encourage staff to develop some of their skills. They implement professional development plans to support staff to further their knowledge and improve their teaching skills generally. Staff are happy in their workplace and feel well supported by the management team.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The careful planning of activities enables children to access stimulating and challenging opportunities. Children are highly motivated and eager to explore their environment. Staff are active participants in children's play and join in with their exploration and investigation. This promotes children's high levels of engagement. Staff support the development of children's critical thinking skills. They ask thought-provoking questions and give children time to think about their responses. Staff have excellent storytelling skills. They help children to understand how stories are structured. Children talk about the author and make predictions about what might happen next. Staff take children out to explore the surrounding community. Children visit the local care home, supermarkets, libraries and football centre. These experiences offer children a wealth of learning opportunities and help them to find out about the world around them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and settled. Babies and toddlers have close attachments to their key person and other staff members in the room. Older children are confident and secure in their learning environment. They have continuous access to the outdoor area and move freely between the different spaces in the provision. Healthy lifestyles are highly promoted in the setting. The nursery cook spends time with the children talking about foods that are good for them. Children help to grow fruit and vegetables in the garden. Staff join children at the table to eat their meals. They model their expectations of behaviour and how to hold a knife and fork. This promotes children's good social skills and language skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points, including in personal, social and emotional development. They are confident in the nursery and are keen to play and explore with their friends. Babies develop their physical skills as they move around the baby room with ease and self-assurance. They use walking aids and bikes to challenge their movement skills ready for walking. Older children enjoy exciting mark-making experiences. They write messages to place in bottles for their pirate-themed activity and enjoy chalking in the outdoor area. This helps them to practise their early literacy skills.
