and how these impact on their health, growth and development. n Staff support children's transitions well so that children are emotionally ready for their next stage in learning. Staff support children when settling in to nursery, moving rooms and when preparing for school. n Leaders, managers and staff are keen to improve the service, their skills and provision. However, action planning is not yet pursuing excellence in a timely, focused and targeted manner to support them in achieving their goals and ambitions. n Staff are not always using information from parents to assess children's starting points when they first start to attend. Therefore, planning for children's learning needs is not optimised to support them to make more rapid progress.

Staff regularly observe, assess and monitor children's progress to support them in effectively planning for children's next steps in learning.

Staff skilfully question older children to help them to work things out and solve problems when building with the bricks. Staff interact well with the children, which contributes to supporting their communication skills. Babies respond well to these interactions through babbles and repeating simple words. Older children are confident speakers, and they engage easily in conversations. They confidently tell the inspectors what they like to do at nursery. Staff have good relationships with parents and they provide regular updates to parents on their child's progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a stimulating, caring and welcoming environment for children, and they deploy themselves well to meet children's needs. Staff have good relationships with the children, and they know them well. They are sensitive to children's individual routines, and children are happy and settled in their care. Children behave well and they are learning about sharing, being kind and respectful of others. Children have positive relationships with their peers. Older children play cooperatively together, and they follow rules, such as helping to tidy away the resources. Meals and snacks are nutritious and regularly reviewed to promote children's health and to offer variety. Children adopt good hygiene routines, and they are learning about keeping themselves safe. They know why they need to wear hats and drink plenty of water when playing in the sun.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making good progress in their learning. They are confident and independent learners. Younger children thoroughly enjoy exploring a wide range of different textures to develop their sensory skills. Older children use their imaginations as they create houses and dens for the animals. Children enjoy number songs and, during a range of activities, they discuss mathematical concepts, such as 'empty' and 'full'.
