p.1

The provision requires improvement

Children are safe and settled in this welcoming environment. They develop close and trusting bonds with the staff who have a caring and friendly manner. Children are happy and settle well into the routine.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

The quality of interactions between staff and children is variable, and there are some inconsistencies in the teaching children receive. Children enjoy the activities staff plan for them. However, on occasion, in the toddler rooms, the curriculum is not consistently broad and rich for all the children. This does not encourage all children to learn and develop further.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

Children behave well. They understand the expectations that staff have of them. Children receive warm praise from staff for the good choices they make. They copy staff's positive interactions. Children learn to speak respectfully to each other, take turns, and be kind to their friends.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

All children develop their physical skills well. Babies are learning to be mobile and pull themselves up using low-level furniture, which they use to cruise along and walk safely. Toddlers and pre-school children enjoy running, climbing and balancing. All children use crayons, chalks, pencils and paints to make marks. Older children are beginning to use tools, such as tweezers and scissors, confidently.

n Leaders have worked hard to address the weaknesses identified at the last inspections. They have a targeted action plan that they are working towards to drive improvement. This has had a positive impact on ensuring children are kept safe at the setting. However, it has not yet had time to have a positive impact on the learning and teaching across the setting. This means not all children are receiving good levels of support in their learning. n Staff interact warmly during care routines, such as nappy changes and washing hands. They make eye contact and sing songs. At sleep and rest times, staff reassure children by patting and stroking them. This helps children feel safe and secure. n All children develop their independence skills well. At mealtimes they are learning to serve themselves independently and use cutlery appropriately. Children confidently choose resources to add to their play. Staff talk to children

about risks and teach them how to manage this. For example, wiping spillages from the floor and putting on sunscreen. Children are learning to keep themselves and others safe. n Leaders have recently implemented a curriculum that is based on children's interests, what they know and what they can do. Babies and pre-school children

19 July 2022 benefit from this broad and sequenced curriculum. However, the learning experiences for some children in the toddler room is variable, and this means that not all children are making as much progress as they could be. n Staff work hard to provide an environment where children can develop their curiosity and confidence. Children are motivated and have a positive attitude to their learning. There are clear rules, boundaries and routines in place to support this. Staff model the behaviour they want and talk to children about the impact their actions have on others. For example, in the toddler rooms, staff role model and discuss the importance of sharing and taking turns. This helps children to manage and understand their feelings and expectations. n Leaders understand how to support children with special educational needs and or/disabilities (SEND) and those who may be disadvantaged. They work hard to

identify any early concerns and work with parents to put an individual plan in place for children who need it. Leaders work with external professionals where necessary. n Children who have English as an additional language are making progress in relation to their starting points. Staff celebrate the different languages children speak by using key words to support them. n Leaders work closely with staff to support their learning through training and development. However, the process for supervision and coaching does not always address inconsistencies in teaching for some staff. n Parents talk positively about the setting. They value the daily verbal feedback about their child's day, and find the photos and information on the nursery app very useful. However, some parents comment they would like more opportunities to contribute to their children's learning.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Staff have good knowledge of safeguarding and child protection issues. All staff have completed safeguarding training. They know the signs which may indicate a child is at risk of harm. Staff have a clear understanding of what to do if an allegation was made against them or a member of staff. They closely supervise children and provide a secure environment to ensure children remain safe. Daily risk assessments are carried out before the children arrive, and the provision is clean and safe. Children learn how to keep themselves safe and healthy. For example, using knives safely at mealtimes, and to wash their hands before they eat.
