p.1

The provision is good

Children are dropped off and picked up from friendly staff at the nursery door. This is a measure that leaders put in place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to help to promote children's good health. Children happily enter the nursery and are excited to see staff and their friends. Younger children go to staff for reassuring cuddles when they are unsettled or tired. This shows that children feel secure and safe with staff.

p.2

The provision is good

Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. Therefore, children behave well. They share and take turns with their friends. Children follow the nursery rules, such as being kind and walking inside. Children excitedly join the different activities that staff plan for them. For example, babies enjoy exploring in the water. They have fun splashing the water and playing with sponges and rubber ducks. Older children enjoy decorating a large box with different resources, such as sticks and feathers. Children explore whether the sticks or feathers are heavier by experimenting with how much glue each takes to stick to the box. This supports children to develop their mathematical skills. Children are making good progress across the seven areas of learning.

need to do better?

n Leaders and staff have a clear idea of what they want children to learn next. They plan activities that help children build on what they already know and can do. For example, children listen to 'The Hungry Caterpillar' book before matching pictures of the fruits that feature in the story with real fruit. However, at times, some activities can be a little rigid in focus. Staff often encourage children to follow their lead. Therefore, children who want to take their learning in a different direction are not always given the same support to test out their own ideas. n Children enjoy independently looking at books. They also delight in listening to staff read familiar stories to them. Staff speak in expressive voices. This encourages children to join in with the key parts of the story. Children move their bodies in different ways as staff read 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' to them. However, during children's play, staff ask them lots of questions. Children

are not always given enough time to think and answer. Furthermore, staff do not always effectively engage children in meaningful conversations. Therefore, children's communication and language skills are not always supported to the highest level. n Staff support confident children and those with special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well. Leaders have good relationships with other professionals. They access early help for children with SEND. Leaders put in place tailored plans for children with SEND. Therefore, these children are

Therefore, during activities these children are not always given the same chance to participate and express their ideas. n Leaders support staff well. They carry out regular supervision meetings with staff. Staff keep their mandatory training, such as paediatric first aid up to date. This helps to keep children safe. n Staff support children to learn some of the ways they can live a healthy lifestyle. Children enjoy nutritious home-cooked meals. They get lots of chances to play outside where they can get exercise and fresh air. Staff support children to learn how to keep their teeth healthy through regular brushing. n Children learn about what makes them unique. They are encouraged to share and celebrate their own culture. Staff support children to learn about other

faiths, religions and ways of life that are different to their own. Therefore, children are beginning to understand the world around them. n Parents share their views of the nursery. They comment that they are happy with the care and education that staff provide for their children. Parents talk about how staff guide them on how they can continue to support children's learning at home.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Leaders and staff have a good knowledge and understanding of safeguarding. They have recently attended safeguarding training to refresh their knowledge and understanding of child protection. Staff know the possible signs and symptoms of abuse and how to correctly report concerns about the welfare of children. They understand the nursery whistle-blowing policy. Leaders and staff know how to accurately report any concerns or allegations made against other members of staff. There is a complaints policy in place that informs parents of the procedure to follow, including how they can refer concerns to Ofsted.
