This provision is good

n The setting's management monitor practitioners' knowledge and skills and develop effective training plans to improve staff's interactions with children. n Children learn new vocabulary as practitioners introduce new words in context and use actions and repetition to teach language. n Children know what is expected of them as staff use positive reinforcement and praise. For example, they ask the children to walk inside instead of saying 'no running'. n Children make good progress in their learning. Practitioners and the manager work with professionals from outside the nursery to plan interventions that help children with developmental delays catch up with their peers. n Transitions between rooms are planned to ensure that children and their parents feel safe and comfortable with the room change. Staff form bonds with children by working with them for a few weeks before the transition. These staff then accompany the

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Practitioners complete safeguarding training as part of their induction before they start at the nursery. This means that they know how to keep children safe as soon as they begin working with the children. The manager is well supported by the leadership team. He has time to observe and improve staff practice through supervisions and staff action plans. The manager self-evaluates his own practice and has regular supervision meetings with the setting's principal, where they discuss ways to improve practice at the setting. Parents are invited to comment on the setting and share information about their child, for example, by using an app online. The setting's principle reviews the rate of progress made by all children at the setting. She and the manager plan and review any necessary changes to the curriculum to ensure that all children develop well.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children develop their mathematical skills. They explore capacity as they fill containers with sand or rice and lentils. Staff support the children's learning as they use the words 'more', 'full' and 'empty'. Children enjoy counting each other. They say, 'One, two, three, four' as they stand in line. Infants are taught how to vocalise as practitioners repeatedly say, 'Tap tap' while tapping a spade on top of sand. Staff listen to babies' vocalisations, cheerfully acknowledging them and repeating 'tap tap'. Parents describe how they are involved in their children's learning. They work with their child's key person to help their child walk, transfer from wearing nappies to using the toilet and walk safely along a busy street.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Practitioners explain that behavioural guidelines are in place to help everyone. Children are asked not to scream excitedly as that would make their friends, who are hiding as part of a game, want to scream too. Parents report that transitions between rooms are well planned. Meetings between key people and parents are arranged so that changes are paced to allow children and families to feel safe and comfortable. Arrangements to manage children's physical needs are in place. For example, different-coloured plates remind children and staff that some people have allergies to certain foods. Children demonstrate an understanding that people are different. They explain to the inspector that they don't share food with their peers in case it 'hurts their tummy'.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making good progress during their time at the nursery. They develop skills in walking through activities that strengthen their muscles, such as lying on their stomach. Children improve their balance through climbing activities. They show an understanding of mathematical concepts, such as 'full', 'more' and 'empty'. Children are able to learn new vocabulary and to use it in context. For example, children say that the water feels 'cold'. They learn how to handle books, read books for themselves and listen as familiar stories are read to them.
