p.1

The provision is good

Staff show genuine care and concern for children that attend and they settle well on arrival. They show respect and listen to each other as they play together. Children are eager to join in with the activities on offer. They show motivation as they dig in the sand to make pies in the outdoor kitchen and serve these to their friends. Children are active as they climb the steps to the slide or climb over wooden structures. They sit and listen to stories and songs with the staff. Children energetically take part in familiar songs, copying the actions they know.

p.2

The provision is good

Children learn about their differences and what makes them unique and how they are part of a wider community. For example, children use mirrors to explore their own features and create pictures of what they see about themselves. Children explore the range of experiences on offer that build on their own knowledge. For example, children learn why the fin of a dolphin is flat and how this helps them to jump out of the water. Children learn new words as they discover the different shells, such as 'oyster' and 'scallop'.

need to do better?

n The provider has made significant progress since the last inspection. Management have supported staff to understand better their curriculum. Training has had a really positive impact on staff's knowledge of what they want children to learn next. Children show success in their learning and progression since their starting points. n All children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make rapid progress in their development. Regular reviews of assessments and support plans ensure children continue to close gaps in their learning. n Management support staff to build on their professional development. They carry out peer-on-peer observations of staff and discuss their development during their supervisions. Staff express how supported they are with their own well-being, and how they feel part of a family while at work. n Staff prepare children for the next transition as they move through the nursery.

They encourage children to try doing things for themselves to build on their independence. For example, children will select their apron to play in the water or serve their own food at lunchtime. Children are fully prepared to transition to school, as staff have a good understanding of the skills children need to be school ready. n Parents speak highly of the care they receive. They have regular updates about what their children have been learning. Parents comment that they receive good feedback at the end of the sessions. They know their children have settled well, as they are eager to come into the nursery.

21 July 2022 n Staff manage children's behaviours well. Children learn the rules of the nursery, and are reminded by staff how to keep themselves safe, including during play. For example, when cooking during role play, they remember to wear gloves, as the pot can be hot when it comes out the oven. n Children learn about how to keep themselves healthy. They discover foods that keep their teeth healthy, and learn how to brush them during oral hygiene activities. Staff support their understanding of the importance of washing their hands through discussions. n Generally, routines are well planned. Staff prepare children for their mealtimes. They confidently go and wash their hands ready for lunch. However, children sit waiting at the tables before staff are ready. This can sometimes lead to children waiting for extended periods of time because staff do not tailor fully the routines to children's needs. n Staff support children's communication and language skills very well.

Interactions between staff and children are positive. They help to promote children's emerging speech. However, there are times during group activities when more-confident children take over. This means sometimes less-confident children are not encouraged to join in and express their own thoughts and ideas.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The designated safeguarding leads and staff have a good understanding of signs and symptoms a child may be at risk of harm. Staff have completed safeguarding training to ensure their knowledge is up to date. Staff act swiftly to concerns identified to ensure children remain safe. They understand how to report allegations against any member of staff. Safer recruitment procedures are robust to help ensure anyone working with children have been appropriately vetted. Risk assessments are routinely carried out on the setting to ensure the premises and equipment are safe.

should:
