p.1

The provision is good

A child-centred, play-based approach is at the heart of this bilingual nursery, where children learn to understand and speak English and French from an early age. Children, including new babies, settle very well and show a strong sense of belonging. They explore the environment freely and develop good independence skills. For instance, babies are eager to feed themselves and drink from a cup independently.

p.2

The provision is good

Children develop good levels of independence as they learn how to manage tasks for themselves. For example, older children proudly succeed in putting on their own shoes on the correct feet. Children's behaviour is good. They are learning to remember to use their manners, and they readily help to tidy up and take care of their resources. Children receive a lot of meaningful praise and encouragement, which helps them to have a can-do attitude.

p.2

The provision is good

Children are happy and secure. They enjoy the time they spend at the nursery. Babies form close bonds with staff, who are nurturing and attentive to each child's individual needs. This ensures that children are always comfortable. Staff meet their care needs well, including any allergies or dietary requirements that they have. Children are well motivated and engage in activities that interest them.

n Leaders have constructed a well-planned programme of learning. They have designed clear learning outcomes for the children. Staff understand the sequence of knowledge that the children will need to have in order to achieve these outcomes. For example, when learning about numbers to 10, children are taught what an amount looks like visually before being taught the number symbol to match the amount. This supports children in making good progress in their learning. n Children enjoy the many opportunities they have to look at books independently or with a member of staff. They often approach staff to ask them to read a book to them. This supports children to develop a love of reading and increase their range of vocabulary. n Staff find out about children's interests and starting points from parents before children start attending. They observe, monitor and assess children's development. Staff plan activities using children's interests, to help them to build

on what they already know. For example, staff support children to retell the story 'We're going on a Bear Hunt' through role play. n Children show a great level of respect towards one another and the staff. They use their manners, such as saying 'please' and 'thank you', and wait their turn. However, on occasion, staff struggle to help children to understand and manage

They identify areas to develop to effectively ensure continuous improvement. For example, they plan to enhance even further the already good opportunities for children's outdoor play experiences. n Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported exceptionally well. Leaders work closely with parents and other professionals to ensure that children get the required levels of support that they need. Leaders attend regular meetings and share ideas to develop individual education plans. These are used effectively by staff as a planning, teaching and reviewing tool. n Leaders and staff have good partnerships with parents. Staff engage parents well in children's learning and regularly exchange information about their achievements at home and in the setting. Staff work closely with other

professionals involved in children's care to put in place targeted plans for children with SEND. All children are well prepared for their eventual move to school. n The staff team respects and values all individuals across this diverse and welcoming nursery. They ensure that children learning English and French as an additional language have opportunities to express themselves in their home language. Children learn about similarities and differences between themselves and others in a positive and natural way. This enables them to understand and appreciate people in and beyond their own community.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

They understand the procedures to follow if they identify any concerns about a child's welfare. Staff know what to do should they have concerns about the conduct of a colleague. Leaders follow robust recruitment procedures to ensure the suitability of all staff. Staff are vigilant about children's safety and supervise them well. This ensures that children's safety and well-being remain paramount.
