p.1

The provision is good

Children are happy in this inclusive nursery. They separate happily from their parents and are keen to start their day. Children are greeted by friendly staff, who encourage them to be independent, such as by taking off their coats and washing their hands. They have access to a stimulating environment with a varied and interesting curriculum. Children involve staff in their play and call to their friends to join in with familiar activities.

p.2

The provision is good

Children are well behaved. They listen to staff and are kind and caring towards each other. Staff build strong relationships with children and know them well. Children are encouraged to share and take turns. For example, staff purposefully place only a few spades in the sand tray so that children can practise this skill. Children are helped to cooperate with each other and any slight conflict is dealt with quietly with an explanation.

The provision is good

Children have opportunities to play inside and outside to develop their physical skills. They ride on bicycles and go down the slide. Children are happy to be in the garden and make good use of the equipment on offer. Staff play alongside children and help younger children to access the outside.

need to do better?

n Leaders have a strong vision for the nursery and provide a clear and well- thought-out curriculum. They are confident, experienced and lead the team well. Leaders are committed to staff's personal development and spend time in staff meetings identifying and discussing their needs. This is valued by staff and encourages their growth as practitioners. n Staff encourage children's speech and language development. They sing songs during circle time and extend their vocabularies throughout the day. For example, during a planting activity, staff used words, such as 'gardening' and 'soil'. Children use Makaton while singing and confidently sign alongside staff. This ensures that all children are included, even those who have limited speech. n The special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) is confident in her role. Staff can explain how, with parent's permission, they refer children to external professionals. This ensures that all children's needs are met.

n Staff understand the role of the key person. They identify children's needs and their next steps in learning. Staff know how children learn and share this knowledge between them. This helps children to make good progress in their learning journey. n Children celebrate different faiths and cultures in the nursery. For example, children and staff wear traditional outfits at nursery when they learn about Eid. Parents bring traditional party foods for all to share. This enhances children's

26 April 2023 knowledge and understanding of the world. n Children have access to healthy food at nursery. Although children bring a packed lunch to nursery, staff work with parents to make sure that it is nutritious. Staff provide children with fruit at snack time and talk to children about healthy eating. This helps to develop children's understanding of well- being and taking care of themselves. n Staff are good role models for children. They interact positively with children and nurture and support them. Children are reminded to be polite and kind to all, and they spontaneously demonstrate this. For example, children offer to share their fruit with the inspector and are very excited when staff praise them. This develops children's sense of identity. n Children enjoy outdoor play. However, at times, staff do not encourage children to take risks and solve problems. For example, staff over cautiously remind

children to 'be careful' and 'use walking feet'. At these times, children do not develop the skills which they need to understand and manage risks themselves. n Parents are very positive about the nursery. They know what their children are learning from daily contact with staff and from an online app. Parents comment on how friendly staff are and how welcome they are made to feel. This supports children to feel secure at the nursery.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

Leaders and staff have a good understanding of safeguarding the children in their care. They can confidently explain the signs and symptoms of abuse and know who to report their concerns to. Staff are aware of local safeguarding issues in the community. They support parents with advice and signposting to other services. Leaders use staff meetings to keep staff's knowledge up to date and ensure that safeguarding is part of everyday practice. In order to keep children safe, staff undertake safety checks before children have access to the outdoor play spaces.
