p.1

The provision is good

Children show curiosity and engagement in what is on offer at the nursery. They explore nature as they make their own perfume with the flowers they have grown. They manage their own risks. For example, children build obstacle courses and try out their plans. With support, children adapt their obstacles to make things safer. This helps them to develop a can-do attitude as they solve problems.

p.2

The provision is good

Children are encouraged to try things for themselves. For example, they do up their own buttons and use a knife and fork at mealtimes. This helps to prepare children to manage their own self-care needs, which promotes their personal development.

p.2

The provision is good

Behaviour at the nursery is good. Children explore their feelings and confidently express when they are happy or sad. For example, they use the colours from the story 'The Colour Monster' to say how they are feeling. This helps children settle and feel safe to express themselves at nursery.

p.2

The provision is good

Children benefit from the high expectations staff have of their learning during activities. For example, following the COVID-19 pandemic, children have developed their imagination through a strong focus on creative activities. Children develop their hand-eye coordination as they use spaghetti makers in the dough, which builds their muscle skills. Children benefit from lots of activities that help them to make progress in their learning over time.

n The curriculum inspires children to engage in the opportunities provided. For example, children of all ages are deeply engaged in their learning because activities are planned with a purpose. This means experiences are meaningful. In addition, the well-resourced environment positively supports and enhances their learning. n Leaders and managers are reflective and make adjustments to meet the needs of the children. They have recently adapted the nursery's use of rooms to cater for the new intake of children. For example, a sensory room has been created to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. n Additional funding is used effectively. For example, children from less- advantaged backgrounds attend extra sessions, which helps to provide continuity in their learning. Books are available for both children and parents to take home and share. This means that children are able to share the joy of

reading with their parents. n Parental involvement is strong. All parents know what their children are learning and are aware of their next steps. Parents state that they feel supported with

26 August 2022 their children's milestones, such as toilet training. This partnership working helps children to progress at a steady pace. n Children show resilience and perseverance when they find things difficult. For example, children rise to the challenge as they figure out how to fill the syringes with water. They squeal with delight as they find new ways to squirt water in the air. These experiences help to prepare children for their future education and challenges ahead. n The nursery provides many opportunities for children to learn about equality and diversity. For example, children learn about different professions, as parents bring in items from their workplace, such as an army helmet. Children also learn about difference, as they support charities that are close to their families. This shows that children are developing an awareness of different careers and how unique we all are. n Children have many opportunities to learn about the impact of their behaviour

on others. They also develop a sense of belonging because photos of children and their families are proudly displayed around the nursery. This helps children to build a culture of respect and positivity towards others. n Children have many opportunities to understand the importance of eating healthily, which promotes their personal development. For example, they eat a varied diet at the nursery. However, staff do not consistently support children's awareness of staying safe in the sun. For example, children are not reminded to wear sun hats when playing outdoors in the sunshine. n Children are confident communicators and are eager to express their thoughts and opinions. However, staff do not consistently expose children to new and exciting words. This does not help to widen children's vocabulary.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

The nursery has clear policies and procedures for safeguarding, which staff know and understand. They also work closely with external agencies to ensure that children and their families get the support they need. All staff know what to do if they have any concerns about a colleague, and contact numbers are readily available. This means staff know how to process safeguarding concerns and make independent referrals where required. Management ensures children's safety by checking the identity of all visitors and ensuring doors are secure. Children's safety is further assured because staff carry out checks on absent children. Children benefit from lots of opportunities to manage their own risks. For example, they help one another as they climb and balance on the outdoor play equipment.
