independence and learning. n All children, including those in receipt of additional funding and children with speech and language delay, make good progress from their starting points. n Staff observe children and assess their development. Children have access to a wide range of interesting and exciting activities that help to promote different areas of learning. Children acquire the skills they need for the eventual move to school. n Staff do not always consider the individual needs of all children as well as possible throughout the routine whole-group activities, particularly those who are less able.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager is enthusiastic and committed to the continuous development and improvement of the nursery and staff practice. Self-evaluation and effective team working contribute to a well-organised provision. The provider supports staff's professional development, for example through regular supervision and training. Staff use the skills and knowledge they gain to enhance how they support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and speech and language delay. Safeguarding is effective. All staff are suitably vetted for their roles and benefit from comprehensive induction. Staff are clear about the indicators of abuse and what procedures to follow to ensure children are safe from harm. Parents state that their children enjoy their time at the setting. They highlight the progress their children have made since starting, in particular in their communication and language skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, teaching is good and staff plan well for children's interests, stages of development and learning needs. For example, younger children enjoy the sensory experience of exploring the different textures when making play dough. They gain good physical skills as they mix the dough and mould it into different shapes, developing the small muscles in their hands. Children choose freely from a range of activities. Staff play alongside children and support their learning well. For example, they model positive language and introduce new words. This helps to extend their language development well as they hear sounds and the correct pronunciation of words. Staff make the most of opportunities to encourage children to count and develop their mathematical skills. For instance, they use mathematical language frequently during interactions and play to support children's knowledge and understanding. Staff share their observations of

children's development with parents and involve them in children's learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's behaviour is good and staff manage this in a positive way. They interact with children warmly and are encouraging. They praise and encourage children to help build their self-esteem and confidence. Staff support the children's emotional and developmental needs. For example, they develop secure relationships with children through an effective key-person system. Older children manage their self-care needs independently. For instance, they clear their plates after mealtimes. Children have opportunities to be outdoors on a daily basis. They develop skills of balance and coordination, for example as they negotiate and explore the balance logs and tyres. Staff plan cooperative, fun outdoor games which children relish.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are keen to play, investigate and explore. They are gaining good levels of confidence and independence. Children are developing strong mathematical skills as they count and identify numbers up to 10. They confidently take part in singing and listen to familiar stories. Children listen attentively as they follow the story, and staff encourage them to think about what is going to happen next. Children are prepared for their next stage in learning, including their transition to school.
