Smartypants Exclusive Childcare Nursery, in Romney Street, currently has 63 children on its roll, some of whom are schoolchildren attending before and after primary school.

Inspectors said: "The provider and all staff work effectively as a dedicated team to provide good quality care and education for children. There is active involvement of all the staff team in the evaluation process and staff meetings are used to discuss and disseminate ideas and practice.

"Information from annual parents' questionnaires is audited and takes account of their views and opinions of the nursery. The nursery identifies the strengths and weaknesses and targets any actions needed for improvement.

"The nursery has responded positively to the recommendations from the last inspection which has had an impact on the outcomes for children. For example, the safety and welfare of the children through rigorous recruitment procedures, the safety of windows within the premises and the update of complaints procedures.

"Children's needs are well met through the maintenance of policies and procedures required for the safe and efficient management of the provision.

"Documentation is well organised, up-to-date and is reflected in practice to promote all aspects of children's needs. There are robust recruitment and vetting procedures which maintains the suitability of staff and promotes the children's safety and protection.

"Staff know and understand the safeguarding procedures and what to do in the event of any concerns. Staff are qualified, experienced and deployed effectively to meet the wide range of ages and development needs of the children.

"Good quality risk assessments ensure effective actions are taken to manage and eliminate risks. Parents and carers receive comprehensive information about the setting which includes frequently asked questions about the provision and care of their children and details of the learning programme children will be involved in.

"Regular newsletters ensure information is regularly updated and include ideas for supporting and extending the children's learning and development. Information about the children's progress is shared through learning journeys and photographs and key workers share daily information both verbally and in daily diaries.

"The nursery is working hard to ensure that all parents are involved with their children's achievements and their learning and development. Staff display lots of posters, they complete 'all about me' information and involve parents in a flow chart of important information about their child.

"All the organisational policies and procedures are accessible in the reception area with important information displayed around the areas. Partnerships with parents are well established and parents are appreciative of how the nursery supports specific individual needs.

"Links have been made with other external agencies to promote the Early Years Foundation Stage and there are good links with the early years development and support team. Transitional procedures have been developed in partnership with the local primary school."
