p.1

The provision is good

Children come into the pre-school confidently and quickly settle. They know the routine very well. Children benefit from sensitive attachments with their key person. They demonstrate that they are happy, content and feel safe in the pre- school. This is evident as children keenly welcome new visitors to the setting, such as the inspector. Children excitedly choose from an interesting range of learning opportunities. Children engage well in activities and are keen to demonstrate what they know and can do. They solve problems with the support of staff. For example, children think about how to rebuild a ramp, so that the cars can roll down it without getting stuck. Older children complete number puzzles and build different structures out of wooden blocks, showing their skills in counting and their understanding of shape.

p.2

The provision is good

Children have positive attitudes to learning. They behave well and understand the staff's expectations. Those that struggle with managing their emotions receive consistently good support from staff. Important care practices promote good hygiene and children discuss what makes them strong and healthy. They balance, climb, and jump with control and coordination. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are well prepared for their next stage of learning.

n Staff support children's communication and language skills well. They model words correctly and teach them new vocabulary. Children enjoy engaging in conversations with their friends and are confident communicators. n Children show superb interest in books and they listen to stories attentively. Staff use comments and open-ended questions and seek children's interpretation and understanding. Children's literacy skills are further enhanced through a range of resources to promote their mark making in all areas of the pre-school. n Support for children's physical development is good. Children develop strength and balance as they climb and stretch on beams, using the indoor equipment. They have wonderful opportunities to explore their local area and take trips to the local parks. Children learn about different groups of people in the community and learn to understand what makes them unique. n The nursery has strong partnerships with parents. Parents say that they value

the sharing of information about their children's learning, and they are happy with their children's progress. Parents enjoy attending events, such as sports day and children's performances. They say that staff are easy to approach and that their children 'love coming here'. n Care practices are good. Staff teach children about good oral health and how to keep healthy.

Children talk about washing germs from their hands before they eat and why it is important to keep hydrated. n The manager intends for children to become independent and manage their self- care skills confidently. Staff provide good support, preparing children well for school. Children learn to put their coats on to go outdoors. They manage their clothes when using the toilet and wash their hands. n Children have ample opportunities to develop their social skills and they display positive behaviours. For example, children play cooperatively and share toys. n Staff provide a stimulating and inclusive learning environment that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, can access. They monitor children's progress and plan a range of exciting activities that cover many areas of learning. For example, children develop their coordination

skills and deepen their understanding of nature as they busily work with natural materials. However, occasionally, group activities do not meet the needs of all children. This means that some children do not learn as much as they might from these teaching opportunities. n Staff work well as a team. They have regular meetings to reflect on their practice and the learning experiences they provide for children. The manager makes good use of supervision meetings to support staff's well-being effectively. However, monitoring of staff performance is not fully effective at identifying how individual staff members can raise the quality of their teaching to the highest level.

They understand how to identify children who may be at risk of harm. Staff are knowledgeable about child protection and safeguarding issues, such as female genital mutilation and the 'Prevent' duty. They are confident to whistle-blow should they have concerns about another member of staff. Staff supervise children closely, both inside and outside the building. They complete risk assessments to ensure there are no hazards in the environment before children attend.
