The provision is good

Children separate from their parents confidently and are keen to play with their friends. Staff provide a warm, nurturing environment for children and show genuine care for their well-being. They provide support to families and are starting to welcome parents back into nursery, since the restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic have eased. This has had a positive impact on communication with parents and promotes consistency for children. Children are enthusiastic to come into nursery and show that they feel happy and safe with staff. They are keen to explore their surroundings and begin to develop good levels of self-confidence.

p.2

The provision is good

Children are eager to learn. They enthusiastically fill containers with flour and persevere when using digging utensils. Children show good physical endurance as they play in the enabling environment outside. For example, they excitedly bang hanging pans. Children show high levels of confidence as they greet visitors and are well behaved. They follow familiar routines at the setting and demonstrate good listening and attention skills. For example, children sit on the carpet at group time and join in with songs and familiar rhymes.

The provision is good

Most children who attend this nursery come from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Staff have high expectations for all children to achieve and do well. They treat each child as an individual and provide an inclusive environment.

n Children's language and communication are well promoted across the setting. Children participate in lots of singing and story time routines. In addition, staff talk and sing to children during daily care routines, such as at nappy changing times. This helps to promote children's speech development. n The curriculum for children is interesting and exciting. Staff provide opportunities for children to broaden their experiences and build secure foundations for their future learning. For example, staff focus on helping children to become independent in their self-care from an early age. n Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities exceptionally well. They are knowledgeable about children's individual needs. Staff have effective strategies in place to identify gaps or potential delays in children's development. The special educational needs coordinator takes swift action to provide intervention at the earliest opportunity. Staff use additional

need to do better?

11 March 2022 n Staff have very close relationships with children and meet their care needs effectively. For instance, staff who work with babies know their routines for sleeping and when they will become hungry. They soothe babies who have just woken up and provide cuddles for reassurance. Older children know they can go to staff to ask for help and show confidence in their own ability. n Staff plan the environment so that children can freely access activities of their choice, such as play dough, puzzles, construction and role play. Children are motivated learners who are confident to express their wishes. n Children make good progress in their learning. They experience quality interactions and a wide range of learning opportunities. However, staff do not consistently react and respond to children's ideas. On occasions, they do not challenge and extend children's learning and thinking skills further.

need to do better?

n Staff know their key children well. They agree individual support plans with parents to support their children's development. However, professional development opportunities for staff have not yet been extended to ensure that staff consistently share precise information with parents about their children's development. n Parents speak very highly of the nursery and feel included in their child's learning. Staff gather information about children's abilities when they first start. The manager and staff have communicated well with parents throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

The manager is the designated safeguarding lead for the nursery. She is supported in this role by her deputy, who has also completed lead safeguarding training. Staff have a good awareness of their roles and responsibilities to safeguard children, including the broader aspects of safeguarding. They have undertaken suitable child protection training. Staff know that if they are worried about another member of staff's behaviour towards children, they must report this without delay to the local authority designated officer. Staff complete regular child protection and paediatric first-aid training, so that their knowledge remains current. The manager follows safer recruitment procedures to ensure the suitability of staff and takes steps to assess their ongoing suitability.
