The provision is good

Children are warmly welcomed by happy staff when they arrive at this nursery. They hang their belongings on their named pegs and separate well from parents. Children develop strong and trusting relationships with staff who genuinely care about them. Staff provide children who need extra support with gentle reassurance and cuddles. This supports children's emotional well-being and helps them to feel safe. Staff are excellent role models for children. They have high expectations for children's behaviour. For instance, children learn how to manage their feelings and show respect towards others. This is because staff share consistent rules to remind children to use their 'kind hands' and to 'show good listening'. They learn to take turns and share resources.

The provision is good

Staff are passionate about providing children with a curriculum that inspires their natural curiosity. Children make their own decisions about their play, selecting resources that interest them. They settle easily in to their learning. Staff support children's learning through positive interactions. For example, when children choose to plant some seeds, staff ask them how long they think it will take for the seeds to grow. Children benefit from access to a wide range of high-quality resources. This means that they enjoy their chosen activities and maintain high levels of concentration. Children make good progress and acquire the skills they need for the next stage in their learning.

n Staff engage children in conversations and model language well. They read books with children and encourage them to join in with songs and rhymes. Staff support children to acquire and use new words. For example, staff use pictures and objects of reference to teach new vocabulary. Children who speak English as an additional language are very well supported to acquire the new vocabulary they need. This helps them to become effective communicators. n Staff have clear intent for planned group activities. For example, they use songs and actions at circle time to help children learn and remember the days of the week and months of the year. However, whole-group activities do not always fully meet the needs of all children taking part. For example, during circle times, children have to sit for long periods of time and sometimes the groups are too large. Children quickly become disengaged and fidgety. This limits the impact of

intended teaching for some children. n Staff organise meaningful individual and small-group activities to support children's next steps for learning. They use children's current interests. However, at times, they do not always maximise the learning potential. Staff sometimes step in too quickly. For instance, when making play dough, staff tell children what will happen if they add too much oil. This does not enable children to

6 June 2023 explore learning through trial and error. n Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well. Staff work closely with parents and other professionals in ensuring the best possible outcomes for children. The special educational needs coordinator (SENCO) works with the local authority to access additional funding for individual children who require further support. This helps them to make the best possible progress in their development. n Staff meet children's personal care needs effectively. Children learn to manage some of their own personal needs. They quickly gain good levels of independence. For example, two-year-old children can put on and fasten their own coats. Children learn about the importance of good hygiene practices. This helps them to develop some of the skills they will need in later life. n Mangers and staff are all equally passionate about delivering high-quality care

and education for all children. Staff benefit from regular supervisions and training. They use the curriculum and provision to enhance the experiences of all children and their families. This helps to ensure that all children, including the most disadvantaged, receive the same opportunities. n Parents are very happy with the care and education their children receive. Multilingual staff support those whose first language is not English well. They keep them informed of their development. Consequently, there is a consistent approach to all children's learning.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

The manager and the staff understand their roles and responsibilities to keep children safe. They complete regular safeguarding training. Staff have a good understanding of the procedures they must follow when there is a concern about a child or if there are allegations made about a member of staff. All staff have completed paediatric first-aid training. They understand the procedures to follow in the event of an accident or emergency. Children are well supervised at all times. Staff carry out regular risk assessments to ensure that children can play safely. Managers check the identity of any visitors to the nursery before allowing them on to the premises.
