p.1

The provision is good

Children are happy, confident and settled at the nursery. Staff know children very well and provide a safe and stimulating learning environment for children of all ages. Activities are mainly child initiated and follow children's interests and next steps in learning, which ensures that children are engaged and motivated to learn. Consequently, children make good progress.

p.2

The provision is good

Children's independence skills and confidence are effectively encouraged in the nursery and prepare them well for school. Children show pride as they complete little tasks, such as handing out wipes to their friends after lunch. Staff give children time and space to put on their boots and coats before going outdoors to play. Toddlers peel their own tangerines at snack time, while pre-school children confidently serve their own food from dishes at their table.

p.2

The provision is good

Children behave extremely well. Staff role model manners in the baby and toddler rooms and children are encouraged to say 'please' and 'thank you'. In the pre- school room, children share and take turns well. They are kind and caring to one another. For example, at lunchtime, a child, without prompting, helps another child to hold their plate while unwanted food is scraped into the waste bowl.

n Staff know how children learn and develop. They use spontaneous opportunities that arise to extend children's learning very well. When children discover a conker stuck in a traffic cone in the outdoor play area, staff encourage them to think of ways to remove it. This encourages problem-solving skills and helps them to draw on past experiences. Children experiment in a variety of ways, such as using pieces of wood or turning the cone upside down. After prompts from staff, they use a spoon to free the conker, with great jubilation. Children show very good skills in persistence and work together extremely well to achieve an outcome. n Staff working with babies and toddlers are sensitive and ensure their needs are met promptly. Young children are engaged in activities and explore using their senses. They investigate paint, wet sand, cornflour and different materials. They discover how to use moving parts on toys and enjoy looking at books with flaps

Toddlers follow instructions well as they help staff put the books away. Pre-school children engage in conversations as they chat about their favourite vegetables at lunchtime. n Children develop their physical skills effectively as they play outdoors in the

This boosts their confidence in their own abilities. n Children are learning about the wider world through planned activities and some resources. However, resources that reflect people's differences are not available across all playrooms to help children value and respect others. n Partnerships with other agencies involved in children's care and education are good. Staff share information regularly to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They also work with local schools to ensure a smooth transition for children when they start school. n Managers monitor and evaluate the nursery provision and children's progress effectively. The views of parents, staff and children are fully considered and parents speak highly of the staff and managers.

n Managers follow secure procedures to help ensure that staff are suitable in their role. Staff benefit from detailed induction and regular one-to-one meetings. Staff have good access to training, including higher level qualifications, to improve their skills and knowledge. This improves the learning outcomes for children. n Partnerships with parents are generally good. Parents have access to children's development records and the nursery puts on events to interest parents, such as Christmas workshops and events for fathers. However, not all parents are effectively engaged in their children's learning in order to ensure that learning is continuous for all children.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Managers understand how to respond to potential safeguarding issues promptly to ensure that children are protected from harm. Staff have a secure understanding of how to identify and act on concerns about children's welfare. The manager and staff stay up to date with all safeguarding training. They carry out robust risk assessments to minimise risks to children. As a result, children are kept safe and secure at all times.
