p.1

The provision is good

Managers and staff offer care and warmth to children and support their emotional well-being highly effectively. They display photographs of children, their families and special people in the community. This helps children to develop a very good sense of belonging and self-worth. Children are very self-assured. Managers and staff know how the children learn and develop through play. They carefully monitor children's learning to ensure that they make good progress overall, and that any gaps in learning are closing. Children who speak English as an additional language, or receive additional funding, equally learn well. Staff prepare children well for the next stages of their learning and development, including starting school.

The provision is good

Children enjoy their time at the nursery and explore a good range of exciting activities. For example, younger children eagerly explore the mixture of cornflour, water and food colouring and learn to use resources with care. Older children enjoy mixing shaving foam with red paint to observe how colours change when they mix. Staff hold discussions with children, repeat words and help them to acquire new vocabulary. Children enjoy songs and rhymes, listen attentively and respond well to instructions.

n Staff gather relevant information from parents to establish what their children know, can do and understand. They complete regular observations and assessments to highlight children's abilities and ongoing development. Staff provide stimulating educational programmes that enthuse children to learn. They explain activities well to children and give them the opportunity to share their ideas and feelings. n Children use their imagination well. For example, babies and younger children learn to investigate how pop-up toys work. Older children enjoy listening to a sound track game, and learn to relate the sounds to their corresponding pictures. They can write their names correctly. Although staff provide children with activities about numbers, they do not always extend their mathematical skills and ability to solve problems unaided. Children are interested in books and older students can suggest what might happen next in stories. Staff do not

always provide enough resources to help older children further develop their technology skills. n Staff are excellent role models for the children. For example, they talk to children in a calm and respectful manner and help them understand right from wrong. They share their behaviour procedures with parents and their children so that they know what is expected. Children quickly learn the rules of good behaviour and support each other very well. Children learn to share toys, and they take turns fairly. Older children offer a helping hand to the younger ones.

6 November 2019 Children are highly confident and display very positive attitudes to learning. Overall, their behaviour is excellent. n Children enjoy outdoor play, fresh air and exercise. For example, younger children are able to ride small bicycles. Older children can balance on stepping stones with increasing control and coordination. n Staff teach children how to manage their personal hygiene very effectively. They explain to children the importance of healthy eating and the possible impact it might have on their health and development. Older children love to set up tables for lunch and invite their friends to join in. Children learn to serve themselves and enjoy the social occasion to eat with their friends. Children are highly independent and cooperative. n Staff keep parents well informed about their children's academic progress and well-being. Parents are satisfied with the good progress their children make and

know how to support their children's learning at home. n Managers monitor staff's practice effectively, for example through regular supervision and observation of their practice. They provide good guidance to staff on how to manage their workload. n Staff attend courses to strengthen their skills.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Leaders and managers have a clear understanding of safeguarding and implement the requirements well. Robust recruitment and induction procedures help to ensure that all staff are suitable to work with children. Staff demonstrate good knowledge of child protection issues, and know the processes to follow if they have any welfare concerns about a child or an adult. The manager shares safeguarding policies and procedures with staff and parents to help keep children safe. Staff conduct regular risk assessments on outings, the premises and resources in order to help children remain safe and secure.
