p.1

The provision is good

Children arrive happy and keen to go into nursery. Children are confident, motivated to learn and keen to explore the resources and activities available to them. Older children take on challenges; they confidently complete the assault course in the garden, demonstrating how they can balance and jump off the equipment. They show that they are proud of their achievements as staff congratulate them for completing the challenge. Children develop secure relationships with the staff and they demonstrate feeling secure. Younger children snuggle into staff as they sit on their laps for a cuddle and to look at a book.

The provision is good

All children behave well. They learn to take turns with the resources and include their peers in their play. Children listen to staff and follow routines well. The nursery remained open throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time parents could not go into the nursery. Staff worked around this by providing video tours for the parents to see the nursery. Parents are now able to go back into the nursery when they pick their children up, so that they can see their children playing and have opportunities to talk to staff.

n Managers and staff provide an interesting and varied curriculum that builds on what children know and can do, using their interests. Staff know children well; they assess their progress and plan enjoyable activities that children are keen to take part in. n Managers and staff provide a good range of resources and activities that are interesting and welcoming to the children to engage them. For example, children thoroughly enjoy using the whole of their hands and arms to mix different colours of paint together. They then use the paint to decorate the leaves that have fallen from the tree. However, during some transition times, such as morning arrival and after mealtimes, staff do not ensure that children are provided with equally inviting experiences and children are left waiting for things to do. n Older children concentrate and focus as staff help them to learn about the changes of the season and the impact that they have on the environment.

Children enjoy exploring the different textures of the leaves, bark and pine cones that staff share with them. Staff skilfully support children's mathematical development as they play. Children confidently estimate and compare the sizes and weights of the pumpkins and they enjoy sorting and counting the conkers that staff have collected for them. n Overall, staff's interactions with children are good. They encourage children, follow their interests and engage them in play. However, some of the newer and less confident staff need some more support to strengthen their interactions

rhymes and older children confidently talk about their experiences. n Children of all ages develop a love of books and staff ensure that books and stories are weaved into their curriculum. Younger children independently choose books and hand them to staff to read to them. Older children use the pictures in books to tell stories which they then act out in their play. Children playfully pretend to huff and puff as they try to blow down the houses that they have made using wooden blocks.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The management team and staff fully understand their responsibilities to keep children safe. Managers check and monitor the ongoing suitability of staff and they ensure staff are aware of the safeguarding procedures in place. Good procedures are implemented to ensure that children are not exposed to risks. Staff carry out checks of the nursery and gardens before children arrive. Staff have a good understanding of the indicators that might suggest that a child is at risk of harm and they know how to act on and report any concerns that they have about children's welfare.
