p.1

The provision is good

Staff are very friendly, welcoming and nurturing as they care for children. They work hard to make the learning environments extremely warm, inviting and stimulating. Staff put children at the heart of everything that they do. Children choose what they want to play with easily and are very proud to see their work displayed. Staff make sure that all risks to children are minimised to enable them to be safe from harm.

p.2

The provision is good

Children are happy, settled and keen to learn. With reassurance and support from staff, they learn to take turns and enjoy playing alongside each other. Staff have exceptionally high expectations of how children behave and of what they can do and achieve. They are excellent role models and promote good manners. This is reflected well in what children say to them and to each other. Children show a very caring attitude and help each other to find missing toys.

p.2

The provision is good

Staff are well qualified and have a detailed understanding of child development. This knowledge runs right through the nursery and forms the basis of the wide range of activities and experiences offered. Staff value the importance of outdoor play, where children regularly spend time in local parks and woodlands.

n Staff treat each child as an individual. Although some members are new to the team, they know their key children well and understand their different personalities. Staff expertly support children to settle in well. They visit them in their own homes to securely learn about them as little people. Once in the nursery, staff then quickly help children to become very familiar with their new surroundings. This helps them to become greatly self-assured and develop a can-do attitude in their play. n Children eat a very broad range of home-cooked, healthy and nutritious food. Staff successfully support children by making mealtimes a social occasion. Children are extremely eager to pour their own drinks and serve their own food. They are polite, let staff know when they are finished and competently clear away their own plates. n Staff offer children numerous opportunities to do things for themselves. For example, younger children have the time they need to take off their shoes and

coats after playing outside. Older children help staff to sweep the floor after exploring the properties of porridge oats. Children learn to become highly independent and develop the essential skills needed for their future learning. n Teaching throughout the nursery is good and staff understand children's starting points. They make regular observations of what children can do and find different ways to help them make further progress. Generally, staff give children

21 November 2019 the right level of challenge, according to their age and stage of development. Young children smile and become excited as the 'song box' session begins. Older children delight in pretending to go to the swimming pool. They dress up, use props for parts of the car and take their 'seats'. n The recent focus on speech and language in the nursery means that children's language skills progress rapidly. However, staff are not always consistent in finding the best ways to present activities to children or making it clear what they are going to be doing and learning. n Staff form very close and warm relationships with children. They talk to younger children continually as they change their nappies and are very alert to when children need rest or a cuddle. Children develop an extremely deep sense of belonging. Their emotional well-being is consistently secured as staff praise them for their efforts. Children learn to understand right from wrong and show

exceptional behaviour, given their age and stage of development. n Overall, parent partnerships are strong. Staff share daily information with parents about what their children have done. This means that parents positively value the nursery. They comment favourably on the support staff give their children, such as the details about the care routines and the visits to the woods with the 'Little Foresters'. However, staff do not always offer ways for parents to extend their children's learning in the home environment. n Staff work well with other agencies to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Children in receipt of funding get the necessary help that they need.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Managers ensure that safeguarding training for staff is up to date and know why it is important to protect children from extreme views and behaviours. Staff have a very secure knowledge of safeguarding procedures. They fully understand what to do if they have a concern about a child's welfare, another member of staff or the manager. The play environments, inside and outside, are securely maintained. Staff pay very careful attention to any potential dangers during children's play activities and routines. Risk assessments are implemented for all areas of the nursery, including travelling by minibus.

should:

n review how staff prepare and present activities to children, to minimise the risk of unnecessary confusion and to make clear what they are going to be doing n strengthen ways that parents can extend their children's learning in the home environment.
