p.1

The provision is good

Children happily attend the nursery. Staff gladly listen to their parents about children's learning and care needs. Children have familiar routines and experiences, which help to structure their day. Children are comfortable at the nursery. Some children excitedly talk to staff, and some are quieter, with beaming smiles.

p.2

The provision is good

The managers and staff have an ambitious learning programme in place. This helps children to make good progress from their starting points at the nursery. The special educational needs coordinator works effectively with parents and outside agencies to ensure that all children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive good support. This has a positive impact on the quality of education that all children receive.

p.2

The provision is good

The manager is improving and embedding behaviour management strategies through staff training. Staff set clear expectations to help children to understand how to be share and take turns when they are learning together. This approach has a positive impact on children's behaviour.

p.2

The provision is good

The managers plan support for children with parents and their key persons. For instance, the youngest children have a two-week settling-in period. This is personalised and flexible for each child and benefits their personal development.

n Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the managers and staff are beginning to place a sharper focus on supporting children's early communication and language development. Staff use strategies such as signing alongside spoken vocabulary, and they model simple sentences. However, occasionally, staff do not always model these sentences correctly, to improve children's vocabulary to a higher level. n Children understand the familiar routines of the day and what they need to do. However, on occasion, staff are not consistently aware of how they can support children's engagement even further, to enhance their learning. For example, some children do not fully participate in a singing session, as staff ask them to do other tasks, such as sharing books with other children. n Independence skills are variable. The youngest children receive encouragement to eat independently, and other children scrape their plates after mealtimes and

clean their faces. However, staff sometimes take children's coats off and hang them up on their pegs. They also give children a lot of support to pour their drinks at snack times. At these times, children are not always learning to manage tasks themselves. n Older children play games to promote their listening and attention skills with

18 November 2022 staff, who receive training to deliver the sessions. Children show enthusiasm as they learn and focus in short, fun sessions. This has a positive impact on how children gain and retain knowledge. n Staff take advantage of impromptu times to read to children. The youngest are comfortably pointing to pictures in picture books as staff read to them. This is one way that the nursery is fostering an appreciation of books and supporting early comprehension skills. n Children's physical play is developing in the outdoor area of the nursery. They have good opportunities to develop their small- and large-muscle skills. For instance, children happily climb on outdoor apparatus. They explore soil as they move it from container to container in the mud kitchen. Children giggle as they move their bodies, using hula hoops. This has a positive impact on their personal development and physical skills.

n Staff teach children the importance of developing good oral health skills. For instance, all children have a toothbrush and brush their teeth daily at nursery. This supports children's health and well-being. n Staff form good relationships with parents. They regularly share information with them about their children's day and what activities and experiences they have been completing at nursery. In addition, they hold regular coffee mornings to share ideas about how they can enhance their children's learning further at home. Parents feel that staff are approachable, professional and friendly. They comment that the settling-in period helps them to feel confident and knowledgeable about their children's care and learning.
