p.1

The provision is good

Children separate from their parents confidently and are keen to play with their friends. Babies and toddlers develop warm, nurturing relationships with their key person. This helps them feel safe and secure. Children behave well and are keen to explore their surroundings. They begin to develop good levels of self-confidence.

p.2

The provision is good

Children are confident communicators. They talk to each other and adults, explaining what they are doing and what they are going to do next. Staff model language well and sing and regularly read stories with the children. They introduce younger children to new words when playing in the water, such as 'splash', 'spinning' and 'cold'. Children listen and repeat the new words as they explore the water tray. Toddlers remember their favourite nursery rhymes and laugh and move to the songs, supporting their early language skills. This supports children's extending vocabulary.

p.2

The provision is good

Children make good progress, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff have high expectations of what children can achieve. Babies enjoy tummy time, promoting their physical development. Toddlers explore their senses as they squash play dough in their hands. Older children develop their fine-motor skills in readiness for writing as they carefully thread beads onto string.

n Leaders have created an ambitious curriculum that focuses on children's physical, personal, social and emotional development. Staff can share what they want children to learn and the progress they have made. However, the intent for children's learning is not always precise and not always consistent. This means that not all activities consistently build on what children know and can do. n Babies have plenty of opportunities to develop their physical skills. They learn to crawl and walk confidently, both inside and outside. They enjoy exploring the baskets of resources, developing their hand-to-eye coordination as they do so. Older children develop their large muscles and coordination as they learn to ride bicycles and scoop soil from different containers. n Children are provided with healthy snacks and meals during their time at nursery. They sit together to eat in a social environment and talk about the food

they like. Toddlers wash their hands independently and feed themselves competently at mealtimes. Staff interact well with children and engage them in conversations as they eat. However, they do not extend their teaching to help children learn about the benefits of making healthy food choices and the importance of a healthy diet. n Staff are successful at incorporating simple mathematical concepts, such as

Preschool 4 August 2022 counting and number recognition. For example, older children count the number of pom-poms they need to scoop to match their number. Children start to recognise numbers and quantity. n Children's behaviour is good. Staff consistently use praise and encouragement to support children's behaviour. On rare occasions where children display unwanted behaviour, staff are consistent in their responses. This helps children to manage their own behaviour or to understand the possible effects of their behaviour on others. n Children with SEND are quickly identified and supported very well. Staff work closely with other professionals and parents to ensure children's specific needs are met. This helps all children feel valued and included in the nursery. n Parents speak highly of the nursery team and particularly comment on the progress their children have made in their early language development. They

appreciate the shared learning approach which helps them to support their children's development at home. Parents of children with SEND are highly complimentary of the staff team and the extra support it puts in place for their children. Parents are happy with the progress their children make. n Leaders ensure staff supervisions are completed regularly to give staff opportunities to discuss their practice. Any learning opportunities are identified and actioned. This ensures staff continue to develop their knowledge and skills. Furthermore, leaders identify precise training to support children with SEND. This broadens staff knowledge and understanding in specific areas of child development.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The leaders and staff recognise their individual responsibility to keep children safe and what would constitute a safeguarding concern about a child or a colleague. They understand the need to work as part of a multidisciplinary team to protect children they may be concerned about and to support their families. Staff know the procedures to follow should they have a concern about a child's well-being. They have a good understanding of how to keep children safe, and they recognise the signs and symptoms of abuse. Staff make sure that children are able to play in a safe and secure environment, using risk assessments and following detailed policies and procedures.
