p.1

The provision is good

Children show obvious pleasure when they arrive at the nursery. They know that they will be greeted by friendly staff. This helps children to feel secure and welcome. Children learn new skills and are proud of their achievements. For example, children carry drinks on trays. They skilfully negotiate the outside step without spilling their milk. This helps to promote children's physical development and deep concentration. Staff help every child to feel included and unique. They are playful and jokey with older children. They make reassuring eye contact with shyer new children.

The provision is good

Children behave well. They know that when they sit together on the little round cushions it is time to listen and to take turns to speak. The well-established routine helps to promote children's learning and self-control. When children get ready to go outside, staff help and teach them to put their shoes and outdoor clothes on. This helps children to develop two-handed coordination and they gain independence as they grow.

p.2

The provision is good

Managers and staff work in close partnership with parents and carers to support children who have been absent because of COVID-19 (coronavirus) restrictions. For example, some children have had limited opportunities to socialise. Staff sensitively help them to become confident members of the group. Parents are pleased with how well children have settled.

n The provider communicates her high aspirations for children effectively to staff. Staff show respect for every family and want every child to do well. They closely observe children and get to know them. They hold interesting conversations with children and this helps to promote children's language development and knowledge of the world. Children make good progress from their starting points. n Managers provide professional challenge that supports staff to continuously improve their skills and knowledge. This helps them to build a team where everyone feels that they have an important and well-defined role. Staff gain further qualifications and are ambitious for their own achievement. n The nursery recently participated in a local authority pilot scheme. This provided funding for children to attend during the school summer holiday. Children took part in activities that helped to promote their well-being and continue their

24 September 2021 learning. This is particularly the case outdoors. Children become deeply engaged in building 'ginormous' constructions. They do this with excitement and increasing competence. Then they have great fun knocking them down. However, children are less self-motivated indoors. They sometimes wait for staff to initiate activities and ideas. This does not promote children's thinking and learning to the highest level. n Children enjoy story times. They excitedly anticipate which zoo animal is behind the flap on the page. Staff skilfully use props and questions to maintain children's attention and extend their vocabulary. This stimulates children's interest in books and helps to promote their early reading. However, staff's knowledge about how children learn to decode printed words is not fully secure. They sometimes plan literacy activities that are not matched accurately enough to what pre-school children are ready to learn next.

n Staff calmly help children to follow consistent daily routines. This makes the pattern of the day predictable and children feel relaxed and 'at home'. At lunch time, children listen for their name then collect their own cutlery, drink and meal. The lunch routine helps children to form habits that promote their good health. For example, they learn that the savoury course comes before dessert and that a balance of different foods helps them to grow strong. n The nursery provides out-of-school care for children who attend primary school. Children enjoy a range of games and activities that help them to relax, have fun and make friends. They travel safely, to and from school, in vehicles or on foot. Parents praise the well-organised and flexible provision.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

Managers and staff know what to do if they have concerns that a child is suffering abuse or neglect. They complete training that updates and refreshes their knowledge of local child protection procedures. Newly recruited staff follow a well- developed induction process. This helps them to gain an understanding of their responsibility to keep children safe. Staff supervise children well. They check that the indoor and outdoor areas are safe for children to play in. Staff vigilantly check children's individual dietary needs. This helps to ensure that children's health and safety is promoted.

should:

n help children to follow their own ideas about what to do, so that their deepest thinking and learning is promoted really effectively n train staff to understand how children learn to decode print, in order that early reading activities are consistently worthwhile.
