p.1

The provision is good

This nursery is welcoming, friendly and inclusive. As a result, children arrive with smiles on their faces ready to start the day. The caring nature of the staff shines through, allowing children to feel safe and secure. Parents are extremely happy with the level of care their children receive here. In some cases, they make a very long journey just so their children can attend. Parents feel very well supported, particularly those who have with children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

The provision is good

Children are very well behaved. They are kind to one another, cooperate, take turns and share resources. They listen to staff and follow instructions. This makes for a very calm environment for children to play and learn in.

The provision is good

Staff carefully consider the needs of every child. They welcome children with SEND into the nursery. Staff adapt their approach and support these children well, so that they can join in and achieve their potential. Staff help all children to catch up in the skills they need to master, for example in their language and communication. Staff are very good role models. They speak clearly and listen respectfully. As a result, children understand and feel valued.

n The nursery provides a curriculum rich in literacy. Children develop a love of literacy as songs, rhymes and stories are incorporated throughout the day. However, staff do not always act swiftly on opportunities that arise to promote mathematical development. For example, encouraging children to sort, count and sequence as they play. n Staff teach children good manners, for example to say 'excuse me' as they walk past someone. Staff help children learn how to look after themselves. They teach children to zip up their own coat and how to set the table at lunchtime. Staff eat the same lunch as the children at the table with them, sharing the skill of conversation and turn taking. n The special educational needs and disability coordinator (SENDCo) is currently studying towards the SENDCo award. She is highly committed to an inclusive approach. Parents are very happy with how she communicates with them. She

Focused activities are well planned and organised to build on children's learning. However, during free-play time, children do not freely choose to practise their skills, explore or test out their own
