who attend. This is good

All children make strong progress in this stimulating bilingual nursery and staff prepare them well for school. Staff carry out regular and accurate assessments, which they use to plan stimulating activities to meet children's individual learning effectively. Staff respond to children's interests readily. For instance, they link children's interest in butter to provide an activity to make marks in butter lined trays. This supports their early writing skills. Staff talk to children in English and Spanish, which helps them to learn both languages. Staff read stories in lively tones and use puppets to encourage children's interaction to enhance their early literacy skills. However, children are limited in their song choice during group times because there is little to prompt their memory. Children learn about technology and confidently use educational interactive electronic games. Staff plan for babies' needs to

explore and to handle different materials, such as paint and shredded paper. Staff work well with parents and others to support children's learning. They provide good opportunities for parents to support children's learning at home.

good

Staff help children to settle well by building strong, warm relationships with them. They find out about children's likes and dislikes and babies' home care routines so that they feel content and secure. Well-embedded staffing arrangements help to provide children with consistent care to support their well-being. Staff teach children good personal care routines, such as washing their hands and brushing their teeth. They manage children's behaviour well by using praise and talking gently with children. This encourages children to behave in positive ways. Staff encourage healthy habits by providing nutritious snacks and meals. However, children sometimes have to wait too long for staff to serve food at lunchtime, which sometimes leads to frustration. Children behave in safe ways and show regard for their resources and environment.

p.3

provision is good

Staff prioritise children's safety. The manager maintains a good range of policies and procedures, which staff fully understand and implement to help protect children from harm. For example, they are confident in the procedures to follow to address any child protection concerns. Management support staff well in their roles to provide good levels of care and learning. The manager supervises staff regularly and appraisals are in place to identify training needs and relevant courses to enhance staff skills. The manager monitors the provision well. She checks observations and planning routinely and addresses any inconsistencies. The manager also carries out direct observation of staff to improve practice. Management team has evaluates practice and has clear goals for improvement. For example, they plan to improve the provision for children aged two to three years to promote the best outcomes for children.
