p.1

The provision requires improvement

Overall, staff know their key children well. They consider their interests when planning the curriculum. Consequently, most children are engaged, happy and making progress at nursery. Older children are developing many valuable skills. They demonstrate a love of books as they enthusiastically engage in interactive story time sessions. However, there are times during the day when younger children's individual learning needs are not fully met. This is because children who remain awake in the toddler room during sleep time are not appropriately engaged. This results in them becoming bored and restless.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

Babies demonstrate that they feel safe with the adults who care for them. They approach them for cuddles and love to receive praise for their dancing. Babies enjoy many sensory learning experiences. They are confident to explore paint and sand with their hands. However, babies do not have consistent opportunities to play outside, get fresh air or develop their larger muscles and coordination.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

Children enjoy eating healthy meals. Older children are confident to help themselves to more food. Overall, lunchtime routines are a relaxed occasion with due focus on promoting children's positive behaviours and independence. However, some children in the toddler room are seated in baby booster seats. This does not fully promote their ability to be independent or encourage a positive awareness of their own capabilities.

n Managers carry out appropriate supervision and appraisals of staff to support their professional development. They have clear aspirations for the children in their care and have an oversight of children's progress. However, managers do not consistently monitor staff practice, to ensure effective implementation of the curriculum. This means some children do not always access a full range of learning experiences to support their overall development. n Managers work closely with the local authority and outside professionals to support all children to get the support they need in order to close any gaps in learning. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities have appropriate support plans in place. Staff work positively with professionals to support children from disadvantaged backgrounds and those in receipt of additional funding. n Babies are developing their voice, as they are excited to engage in familiar

21 November 2022 attachments. n Older children are developing an awareness of their individual healthcare needs. They are able to visit the bathrooms independently to wash their own hands and wipe their noses appropriately. They are confident to talk about the weather and know they must put their coats and hats on to stay warm while they play outside. They enjoy being active, and they are able to run, climb and play ball games to support their physical development. n Older children are developing competent communication skills. They are keen to share their knowledge of rhyming words. They engage purposefully in learning experiences. For example, they are excited to recall the ingredients they used to make play dough. Staff enhance their learning by introducing mathematical language, such as empty, full, more than and less than. Children are developing positive behaviours as they take turns and share resources. This supports them

in developing many skills to prepare them for their move to school. n Parents express that they are very happy with the care and learning opportunities available to their children. They comment on the positive support they have received with potty training. Parents value the support their children receive to develop and improve their communication and language. Parents feel well informed about their child's day, as they receive regular photos and information via an online application. However, managers are not yet welcoming parents into the setting to fully enhance children's settling-in experiences following the lifting of restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Staff have a suitable understanding of their safeguarding roles and responsibilities in keeping children safe. They attend regular training and are aware of the signs and symptoms that might indicate a child is at risk of harm. Staff are clear of the procedures to follow if they have any concerns regarding a colleague's conduct. The management team has developed secure vetting and recruitment procedures. They complete ongoing checks to ensure the suitability of staff. Managers regularly review accidents to help identify and remove any potential risks to children's safety. Staff closely supervise children and provide a secure environment to help keep children safe.
