who attend. This is good

Children are happy because staff engage and challenge them in this bright and vibrant nursery. Staff plan a range of daily activities so that children of different ages make good progress towards the early learning goals. They organise language sessions to support children so that they learn how to sit, listen and concentrate ready for school. Staff teach children sign language to promote their communication and language skills. However, there are occasional distractions during group sessions due to preparation for lunchtime. This slightly affects children's concentration during this time. Staff invite parents to workshops to promote children's learning at home. Consequently, this strong partnership working ensures a consistent approach to promoting children's development. Staff teach children how to feed and care for the nursery's pet terrapin. This promotes children's understanding of the natural world around them.

good

Staff use a range of strategies to help children who find it difficult to settle. They give children lots of attention and cuddles and follow their interests, so they soon settle and join in activities. Staff provide an inclusive environment where children of different ages play well together. For example, they encourage older children to help others become familiar with the nursery routines. As a result, all children behave well and build friendships. This enhances their personal, social and emotional development. Staff promote healthy lifestyles and follow strict hygiene procedures. They provide a range of equipment outdoors to promote children's physical development. Children practise balancing on crates and tyres and develop their hand-to-eye coordination skills by throwing balls and bean bags. Children enjoy digging in the soil and planting seeds as staff effectively teach them about the natural environment.

p.3

provision is good

Management and staff have a good understanding of the requirements for Early Years Foundation Stage. They ensure they implement a wide range of robust policies and procedures, which include responding to complaints and maintaining the good hygiene of the nursery premises. Consequently, they effectively promote children's safety and well- being. Management and staff have a good understanding of the Local Safeguarding Children Board guidance. They understand the procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child or member of staff. Management follow strict recruitment, induction and supervision procedures to promote the safety of children and ongoing suitability of staff. Management ensure staff observe and assess children's learning effectively in order to plan activities that promote children's next stages of development.
