p.1

The provision is good

Children are happy and settle well. They form strong relationships with staff from the outset, and staff provide a safe and caring environment for them to learn and grow. Staff work closely with parents to get to know children and their families. Parents are very complimentary about the service the nursery offers. They describe staff as being very knowledgeable and friendly. Staff find out about what children know and can already do before they start. They use this, along with other information that they gather, such as children's interests, to make the transition into nursery smooth. This supports children's emotional development and helps them to feel secure.

p.2

The provision is good

Children have a positive attitude to learning and are keen to get involved in the vast range of activities and experiences staff make available to them. Staff support children's learning and development well. For example, the curriculum is well thought out to ensure it reflects children's individual needs and interests.

p.2

The provision is good

Dedicated and enthusiastic leaders work effectively with all staff to reflect on what is working well and what they could do to further improve. The manager works hard to ensure that all children benefit from high-quality teaching and care. She ensures there is consistency in the care and learning children receive. Staff morale is very high.

n Staff make good use of the indoor and outdoor environments to offer a wide range of inviting and stimulating learning opportunities for children. They provide children with a well-balanced curriculum. Younger children particularly enjoy story and singing sessions, and older children enjoy practising their mathematics skills through group games. n Staff benefit hugely from regular support and supervision from the manager. They have frequent opportunities to enhance their professional development, to maintain good outcomes for children and high staff morale. Staff are keen to learn, and training positively influences their practice. For example, staff learn very good teaching techniques to promote children's language and communication skills, including for children for whom English is not their home language. They put these skills to good use in their everyday interactions with children. n Staff help children to develop a good understanding of diversity. Children are

respectful of different people and develop good values that prepare them well for life in modern Britain. Children benefit from a range of opportunities to get involved in community events, which develops their links with other people and organisations. For example, children support wildlife events and take part in

18 December 2019 'Newquay in Bloom'. n Leaders are experienced and committed to continually developing and building on the good-quality care and education they provide. They reflect accurately on their strengths and work hard to continually enhance them. They are ambitious and have high expectations and a clear vision for the nursery. n Staff respond well to children and give them clear and consistent boundaries. They have a range of behaviour management strategies and resources which, when used, help children to take turns, share and work well with others. However, staff do not always consistently use these tools. Occasionally, some children have conflicts with one another that interrupt their learning, and make it harder for other children to maintain focus and engage deeply in activities. n Children follow instructions well and have good social skills, which helps them to interact well with others. However, staff in the youngest children's room do not

consistently organise some parts of the day well enough, such as snack time. They do not always ensure they interact with children in a way that deeply enhances their social skills and limits waiting time. n Staff work in partnership with parents to keep them informed about their children's learning and make links from home. Staff prepare children well for the eventual move on to school and help them to develop a range of skills that they need for their future learning. For example, parents borrow activity packs and books to use at home with their children. This helps them to extend their children's learning. n Staff ensure that all environments are well maintained and set up in a child- friendly and interesting way. Playrooms are well resourced to incorporate learning opportunities which cover all areas of learning. This means children can be independent and they have free access to resources, which gives them a

great freedom of choice in what they can do.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Staff are clear about the nursery's policies to protect children from harm. They fully understand their safeguarding responsibilities. Staff have a good knowledge and understanding of child protection issues, including the signs that may indicate a child is at risk of harm. They know how to respond if concerned about the welfare of a child in their care. Leaders implement robust systems for monitoring safeguarding policies and procedures in the nursery. Leaders ensure robust recruitment and vetting systems are in place to ensure all staff are suitable in their role to work with children. Staff attend regular safeguarding training and have vast opportunities to continually enhance their safeguarding practice.
