Children are happy when they arrive at the nursery and separate confidently from their parents. The friendly staff team welcomes them in and children are eager to explore the learning environment. Staff have good relationships with children and know their key children well. Staff gain valuable information from parents during the settling-in process. The activities on offer are tailored to children's interests and needs. They also take into account what children can do and what they need to learn next.

n The manager is a confident, reflective and ambitious leader. She supports the staff team well by meeting with them regularly, both individually and as a team.

24 May 2023 gain their views. n Children enjoy healthy food at nursery. The menu is varied and well balanced and children thoroughly enjoy it. The nursery also promotes children's oral health with toothbrushing. They provide packs with toothbrushes and toothpaste to take home and encourage parents through their regular newsletter. This promotes children's health and encourages good routines for the future. n Staff talk to children and narrate activities and explain the routines of the day. However, at times staff do not give the children enough time to respond to a question before they are asked another. At these times, children do not make progress with their speech and language development. n Staff help children to extend their vocabulary by introducing new, unfamiliar words. For example, while playing with the doctor's set, the staff talk about using the thermometer and how it measures a fever. During these activities,

children build on and extend words they already know to develop a broad vocabulary base. n Children and staff celebrate the diversity of the nursery. They acknowledge and respect different cultures and staff include festivals and celebrations as part of the children's learning. This enhances the children's understanding of the world around them. n The children have access to a well-planned and well-thought-out curriculum. The manager and staff understand the importance of knowing what the children can do when they start at the nursery so that they can plan effectively for their next steps. This ensures that gaps in learning are identified quickly and plans are put in place to address these.
