A developing apparatus disclosed includes a spin chuck for spinnably holding a substrate, a developer nozzle having a plurality of exhaust ports arranged in a row for discharging a developer, the developer nozzle causing the developer discharged from the exhaust ports to impinge in separate streams on the substrate, a horizontal movement mechanism for moving the developer nozzle in one direction extending to the center of the substrate in plan view while maintaining a direction of arrangement of the exhaust ports in the one direction, thereby to move the developer nozzle between substantially the center and an edge of the substrate in plan view, and a controller for controlling the spin chuck and horizontal movement mechanism to cause the separate streams of the developer discharged from the exhaust ports to impinge spirally on the substrate, thereby to develop the substrate.
