 Children settle easily and develop strong relationships with staff, this supports their self- esteem and confidence.  Activities and resources are varied and stimulating, they interest and motivate children to learn and progress in all areas of their development.  Management monitor staff and give support to a high level. This helps staff to improve their practice and focus on delivering good care and education to children.

who attend

Children learn and develop through a good range of play experiences, which support all the seven areas of learning. Children express their ideas through art and design as they roll stones in paint to create pictures. They feel the texture of the paint in their hands and learn the colours of paints they use. Children manipulate wet sand between their fingers as they mould sand using different tools. This means children develop creative skills. Children are able to concentrate for long periods. They show interest in other children and watch what they do. They cooperate by sharing paints and different natural materials such as bark and leaves. They seek out and share experiences, for example, sitting beside each other during circle time. Children follow simple instructions from staff when asked to wash their hands after painting. This shows that children listen, behave well and understand the importance of hygiene.

p.3

who attend

Children take part in varied activities that promote learning, so helping them to make good progress and achieve in their development. Staff understand how children learn and promote each child's development through thorough observations and assessments. They use children's starting points to plan for future development and progress is recorded. Staff play with children which motivates and encourages them to learn. Staff use Development Matters in the Early Years Foundation Stage as a guide to monitoring children's stages of development. This leads to staff providing good levels of challenge for the children.

p.3

who attend

Children acquire skills and attitudes for school through learning the importance of daily routines, learning through play and behaving appropriately .They understand shape and number and use their fingers to make marks in the paint. Children draw the number eight and draw circles skilfully. They learn about the uses of technology as they operate toys such as calculators. Children develop imagination as they enjoy role play in the large house. Children who speak English as an additional language are encouraged to speak and understand English. Staff use picture cards and Maketon signing to develop language skills. Staff use words from their other home languages at the nursery. This shows children that their own culture is valued and celebrated at the nursery and promotes diversity. Currently there are no children who attend other settings or need additional support from outside agencies, however staff know to work with any agencies if needed.

p.3

who attend

Each child's key person engages parents in children's learning and they encourage parents to share information about their child's learning and development at home. This helps staff identify children's developing interests and needs. Parents are able to look at activity planning on display around the nursery. This helps inform parents about what and how children learn.

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

Children move freely between the two playrooms and enjoy playing in the garden. Resources are good and different areas of the curriculum are set up around the rooms by staff. Children make their own independent choices, as toys are stored at low-level all around the playrooms. Children learn about safety, as staff remind them of behaviour rules to help them feel secure and respect each other. Strong relationships between staff and children promote a happy and fun environment. All children develop strong bonds with their key person, who supports them throughout their stay at the nursery. Children's emotional well-being develops because of staff support and their good understanding of each child's needs. Staff give a high priority to the safety of children. They undertake risk assessments to remove any hazards or dangers to children both inside and outside the nursery. All staff are first aid trained, so can help if any child has an accident. The staff

complete records of medication administration and accidents, sharing these with parents.

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

Children independently serve themselves during mealtimes and butter their own crackers. However, during mealtimes staff do not to talk to children about the foods they like to eat and the importance of healthy eating. Children skilfully wash their own hands and learn the importance of hygiene through discussions with staff. This promotes children's confidence and self-motivation. Children enjoy exercise and being outside in the fresh air. They excitedly put on their wellington boots and put up their umbrellas to play in the rain. Children catch the rain in their hands as it trickles down from the roof. They talk to staff about how it feels and the sound it makes, showing real interest. Children run, jump and skip outside, supporting their physical development. Children explore their environment as they move around using all of the play area. They practise new skills as they ride bikes and concentrate on pushing the pedals. They develop their own ideas as they climb onto

provision

Management effectively monitor staff practice by sitting and observing in each playroom. This helps managers identify, and provide opportunities for, further training to improve staff's skills. Regular supervision and appraisals are used to identify where staff want to progress to in their own development. The management use these methods as constructive sessions to talk to staff about any issues or concerns that arise. As a result, staff are given opportunities to take further training and improve their childcare skills. Management strongly understand what a good curriculum must consist of and staff share the delivery of the curriculum. This means that children experience a broad range of learning experiences to help them progress towards the early learning goals.

p.4

provision

Management and staff understand the importance of complying with the safeguarding and welfare requirements, which they effectively implement. They develop staff's understanding of their roles and responsibilities towards safeguarding concerns, health and safety, and equal opportunities. Policies are embedded in practice, for example, staff complete all records relating to children's medical or other care needs appropriately. Staff treat children equally and fairly, so they can reach their full potential. Strong self- evaluation identifies areas for improvement, such as the development of areas in the garden to provide more stimulating learning opportunities outside.

p.5

provision

Effective partnership with parents supports good working relationships and the sharing of children's achievements. Staff invite parents to parents' days, complete questionnaires and give feedback at any time about practice. The nursery has strong links with outside agencies such as the local authority advisory teachers, who help staff improve their knowledge and skills. This enhances their delivery of the learning and development requirements. Although no children currently attend with special educational needs and/or disabilities, staff have links with other professionals and know how to seek advice and support.
