p.1

The provision is good

The manager and staff have high expectations for children. Staff use observations and assessments very precisely to identify weekly targets for children. As a result, children develop a range of knowledge and skills that prepare them for their next stage of learning. Children benefit from stimulating activities that are closely linked to their individual interests and learning needs. Children are creative as they paint and draw, and proudly describe their artwork to others. For example, they say, 'I am painting a rainbow and a bird.'

The provision is good

The manager provides in-house training to help staff to extend their understanding of how to promote positive behaviour. Staff praise children's achievements and remind them of rules and boundaries. For example, during small-group times, they remind older children to sit on a cushion and to use their 'listening ears'. Children follow instructions and behave well. They show high levels of self-esteem. For example, after younger children sing nursery rhymes, they clap their hands at the end. Children take pride in their achievements and have a positive attitude to learning. They demonstrate that they are happy and safe.

need to do better?

n The manager and staff place a high priority on providing children with opportunities to broaden their experiences. For example, they take children to the cinema and park, and invite library staff to come into the nursery to read to the children. This helps children to learn about their local community. n The manager continually reflects on the practice within the nursery and makes improvements. For example, she has strengthened the links for children between the nursery and home. Children regularly take a toy home from the nursery. Parents are encouraged to share photographs of how their children include the toy within their home routines, such as when they brush their hair or clean their teeth. n Staff supervise children closely and provide a clean, safe and secure environment for them to play in. They ensure that children do not go outdoors in very hot weather. This promotes children's safety. n Staff help children to learn about how they can keep themselves safe. For

example, they remind children to hold a handrail when they go downstairs. n Staff support children to develop their mathematical skills as they play. For example, as younger children stack bricks, staff encourage them to count the number of bricks in their tower. Children are able to confidently count to three. Staff encourage children to think about and recognise where they need to position things. For example, as younger children create pictures, they are able to say what they need to place at the top and bottom of their picture. n Children demonstrate positive relationships with staff and show that they feel

18 September 2019 comfortable around them. Staff support children's emotional well-being effectively. For example, they gather information from parents about children's care needs and prior learning. This helps them to meet children's individual needs. n The organisation of some resources makes it difficult for younger children to access them easily. This means that sometimes they cannot make independent choices. n Staff provide a range of activities to support children's communication skills. Older children participate in group activities to support their listening and attention skills. Children maintain their concentration well during a sounds activity and make relevant suggestions of what they think the sound might be. Staff ask children questions to support their understanding. For example, they ask children where they can take the broken toy cars to get them fixed. However, on occasion, staff do not give younger children time to think and
