p.1

The provision is good

Children thoroughly enjoy their time at nursery. Close relationships with staff help them to feel safe and secure. Children move confidently around the nursery and make choices regarding their play. They select resources which are stored safely at a low level, which enables them to follow their interests.

p.2

The provision is good

Children develop good physical skills and have ample opportunity to spend time outdoors in the fresh air. They learn to safely place their hands and feet on the climbing wall and pull themselves up, carefully choosing where to place their hands next. They competently move their legs backwards and forwards to propel themselves on the swing and climb under, over and through climbing equipment and soft-play resources.

p.2

The provision is good

Children develop confidence and become independent in all aspects of their nursery day. Older children access the bathroom when needed and meet their own personal care needs. Staff support younger children as they work through these developmental milestones. They make healthy choices at mealtimes and learn the importance of drinking water regularly, especially when it is warm weather.

p.2

The provision is good

Children enjoy singing loudly and join in with action songs and rhymes, changing the speeds at which they sing to slow or really fast. They enjoy choosing their favourite songs and understand the importance of taking turns. Children behave well. Staff's clear and consistent requests and boundaries mean that children learn what is right and wrong.

n The managers and staff have made significant improvements to address the actions raised at the previous inspection. Suitable staffing arrangements within the nursery ensure that the individual needs of the children are met, especially regarding the needs of the children aged under two years. New routines have been introduced within the nursery, which means children are cared for in smaller groups. Staff work well together so that children are supervised well throughout the day. Effective procedures for recording children's and staffs' attendance at nursery are in place. n Staff build close relationships with children. They plan a range of learning opportunities to enhance their development. Staff share assessments of children's progress and development with parents, alongside ideas for continuing their child's learning at home. However, opportunities for parents to include their own comments in the two-year progress check are not yet fully established.

24 August 2022 as they serve their own foods, supporting their developing independence. n Children's recognition of numbers is encouraged through various activities, including baking. Children learn that print carries meaning and read recipe cards. They identify what ingredients they are using. Staff support them to identify the numbers on the recipe and use the weighing scales to carefully measure out the correct amount. Children take turns to mix the ingredients together using wooden spoons. They carefully use rolling pins to flatten the mixture and cut out starfish shapes. Once they are cooked, the children eat them. n Children enjoy accessing different textures in their play. They use their hands and fingertips to mix cornflour, water and blue food colouring together. They express how the mixture feels soft, cold and wet and recognise how the colour changes as they mix it together. n Staff deal with minor accidents swiftly and sensitively. Children are comforted

and staff take appropriate action to deal with any injuries. Detailed records of accidents are completed and shared with parents. n Staff support children who speak English as an additional language well. They gather key words from parents in their home language. Staff use these to communicate with children while also introducing simple words in English. Picture cards further support children's understanding of what is happening throughout the day. Children access resources and books that reflect people from different cultural backgrounds. They learn about festivals, celebrations and events throughout the year. n Parents say they are delighted with the care their children receive. They are particularly happy with the support they receive from staff and the regular feedback provided about their child's day and the progress they are making. Parents also like the electronic communication that is used, which means they

can access any information at any time of the day.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Staff fully understand their role and responsibility to safeguard children from harm and abuse. Their knowledge of referral procedures and the relevant agency to contact is secure. Suitable action has been taken to remove possible hazards from the garden, for example, the plum tree has been cut back to ensure that no fruit can drop into the nursery garden and cause a hazard. Daily assessments of the nursery and outdoor play space help managers and staff to identify and eliminate possible risks to children. Robust recruitment procedures ensure that staff are suitable to care for children. Ongoing monitoring of staff's practice leads to staff accessing sharply focused professional development opportunities, raising their knowledge and skills further.
