p.1

The provision is good

Children settle very quickly into the nursery routines. Staff make sure that families are given the right support during induction. They take the time to find out children's individual needs and interests. There are flexible settling-in sessions as part of the induction process. This means that parents gain the confidence to leave their children because they know the nursery is a safe and happy place. Children form strong bonds with their key person and other staff.

p.2

The provision is good

Nursery leaders place a high priority on children being able to learn outside. Children are totally engaged as they explore the well-planned and exciting range of resources. They are surprised and excited when they look inside suitcases to discover they are filled with sand. Children enjoy the experience of sitting in the suitcases to explore the different properties of wet and dry sand. Staff ask the older children to help them do the daily risk assessments of the outdoor area. Children become skilled in identifying potential hazards and know how to use equipment safely. Babies have their own designated area, which means that they can also enjoy the fresh air and develop their physical skills as they learn to crawl and walk.

n Staff skilfully promote the home languages of children who speak English as an additional language. They ask parents about the languages spoken at home and take the time to learn and use key words. Children learn about important festivals that are celebrated across the world. They begin to understand what makes them unique and develop positive attitudes towards different cultures and beliefs. n Nursery leaders focus on staff's well-being and professional development. The ethos across the nursery is harmonious, resulting in a positive impact upon the children. Leaders identified that some children's development had regressed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in managing their emotions. They have taken swift action to support these children by creating a room that is resourced with calming lights and objects. n Parents speak highly of the nursery and the friendly staff team. They say that staff share information about children's routines and learning. However, parents

have highlighted some inconsistencies in sharing children's next steps in learning and ideas for extending children's learning at home. n Staff are good role models. They show affection and care for the children and are quick to praise children's efforts. They observe when children may need some additional support to achieve an outcome and are very responsive. Children behave well and have excellent manners. n Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make good

23 September 2022 progress over time because their individual learning needs are quickly identified. The nursery's special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) provides excellent support to staff. She works in close partnership with other professionals to ensure children can successfully access the educational programme. n Staff generally promote children's communication and language skills well. They use children's interests to teach them new words. Staff respond positively to the sounds babies make to communicate their needs. However, at times, there is a lot of noise in the rooms. This potentially has an impact on children being able to fully develop their listening and social interaction skills. n The nursery provides a good range of healthy meals and snacks. The nursery cook makes sure that children with dietary needs or allergies can also enjoy well-balanced and nutritious meals. Children learn the importance of brushing

their teeth every day. Staff model the correct way to clean teeth, and children enjoy demonstrating their toothbrushing skills. n Children show high levels of independence from a very young age, especially at mealtimes. Staff know precisely what they want children to achieve at different stages in their development. Babies learn to use cutlery successfully. Older children learn to serve their own meals and clear away when they have finished eating. Children become increasingly confident in managing their personal care needs, such as washing their hands at appropriate times.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Staff show a good understanding of how to protect children. New staff receive safeguarding training as part of their induction into the nursery. All staff understand the procedures to follow if they identify any concerns about a child's welfare. Nursery leaders follow robust recruitment procedures to ensure staff's suitability to work with children. The safeguarding lead for the nursery keeps her knowledge of local safeguarding concerns up to date. Any updates are shared with staff in a timely manner. Staff are careful about children's safety and supervise them well as they play. Leaders always make contact with parents when children do not attend their usual sessions.
