p.1

The provision requires improvement

Children generally arrive at the setting happy and eager. The staff welcome the children into the nursery. They speak to parents and gather necessary information. Staff are aware of children's interests and plan activities to engage the children on arrival. Older children are keen to join staff at a colour mixing activity. Staff members talk to the children, asking them questions and building on their vocabulary.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

All children have opportunities to interact with adults during the day. However, not all children benefit from high-quality learning interactions. Some staff do not manage interruptions well. They spend most of their time supporting children who struggle with self-regulation. This results in some inconsistencies in the quality of education delivered to children.

The provision requires improvement

They have positive attitudes and are quick to put on their aprons and begin exploring the water play and sensory corn-starch activity. The children talk about the changes that they see and how it feels. Children are keen to show adults what they are doing and are motivated by praise.

21 September 2022 needs. They are aware when children are hungry or need a nap. However, the key-person system is not fully effective. Some children do not have a secure attachment with a member of staff, and this has an impact on children's behaviour. n Leaders identify children who need further support. They communicate with parents, hold meetings and signpost parents to allow them to get further information. Staff at the setting work well with external agencies who provide additional support for children. However, this information is not always made fully accessible to parents. n The children are happy and confident. They like to engage in play with their friends. They especially enjoy the free access that they have within the setting. They can play indoors, outdoors or in the physical development area. Children are observed developing their independence skills. Older children feed themselves very well. They can dress themselves during role play. In addition,

The parents are happy that they receive feedback from the staff at collection times, and can see their children making progress at home.

Leaders follow correct recruitment processes and have good procedures to conduct ongoing checks to ensure that staff are suitable.
