The provision is good

Children arrive at the setting excited to attend. They eagerly run to staff and receive a big hug. Children who need more reassurance soon settle with staff's skilful interaction. Children's emotional well-being is nurtured well. They develop strong and affectionate bonds with staff and each other. Caring relationships are evident, and children show that they feel safe and secure.

The provision is good

There are high expectations for children's behaviour. Consistent messages across the setting ensure that children behave well. They learn to listen, be kind and polite, and use their indoor feet and voices. Staff skilfully reinforce their expectations through discussion and visual prompts at every appropriate opportunity. Staff take swift and gentle action to support any child who needs reminding. Children respond positively to the praise they receive. For example, staff comment on children's good sharing skills when they wait their turn to sit on the cushion.

The provision is good

Older children play cooperatively and problem-solve. For example, they take turns to carefully stack long wooden bricks in a row. They enthusiastically push one over and laugh with delight as they each cascade over. Younger children enjoy exploring different textures and smells. For example, they smell and feel the broccoli and potatoes in the mud. Staff follow children's lead to extend their learning when they ask to cut the vegetables. They learn how to use the knife safely, that vegetables grow in the ground, and that vegetables are healthy to eat.

11 May 2023 Children learn new vocabulary, such as 'enormous' and 'caterpillar'. However, staff do not always model the correct pronunciation of letter sounds in order to aid children's later ability for reading and writing. Children's communication skills are enhanced when they learn to use sign language and hone their listening skills. n Children have good opportunities to develop their physical skills. They thoroughly enjoy physical sessions with their coach to develop their coordination, control and movement. They learn to line up, take turns and follow instructions. They have numerous opportunities to dance, take part in action rhymes, and play in the well-resourced garden. n Successful partnerships are formed with parents. Overall, parents are complimentary about the setting. They say that they are kept up to date with their child's learning, and praise the variety of activities on offer. Parents report

that their children make good progress through effective support when a gap in learning is identified. Parents comment on the 'approachable' staff. n There are clear routines throughout the nursery day. However, the toileting routines are not planned as effectively to promote good hygiene practice. The older children are not supported to wash their hands and younger children sit for long periods of time on the bathroom floor. Nevertheless, children are taught to follow some good hygiene routines, such as wiping their nose and putting the tissue in the bin. n Children are offered nutritious foods at mealtimes that cater for individual dietary needs. They learn independence skills when they serve their own food and pour their own drinks. During physical exercise, children are taught to recognise when they are thirsty. They then access their water bottles to have a drink. This supports children's knowledge of how to keep healthy.

Staff regularly conduct head counts throughout the day to check that the correct number of children are present. Children are well supervised. There are robust procedures to ensure the suitability of all staff. Children learn about their own safety when they are taught to carefully negotiate the stairs.
