p.1

The provision is good

Children are happy to arrive at this friendly and welcoming nursery. Routines are well embedded. Children settle quickly into activities in a calm and purposeful manner. Children have strong relationships with their familiar adults. This helps babies and toddlers feel secure, and pre-school children are confident to try new things and ask questions.

The provision is good

Pre-school children participate fully in group time, where they are encouraged to take turns to speak and actively listen to each other. They celebrate a variety of home languages through song and are excited to talk about a recent thunderstorm.

The provision is good

Staff are clear about what they want children to learn, as they make fruit kebabs and take part in a yoga session. Children make independent choices about their play, and adults follow their lead. For example, children decide to prepare 'soup' using fresh flowers in the water tray. Children enjoy learning and make good progress from their individual starting points.

p.2

The provision is good

Children behave very well. They respond promptly to instructions and enjoy the responsibility of carrying out small tasks. Staff are positive role models. They are respectful to each other and model good manners. As a result, even very young children say 'please' and 'thank you' without being prompted.

13 June 2023 n Children develop their independence over time. Staff encourage younger children to put on their own bibs and use spoons to feed themselves. Older children help to set the table, serve the food and pour their own drinks. They take pride in carrying out these small tasks. n Children benefit from healthy, balanced snacks and meals. Portions are appropriate for the age of the children. Fresh drinking water is always available. Children celebrate birthdays with fruit platters from home. They brush their teeth after snacks and meals. This promotes children's awareness of healthy choices and lifestyles. n Occasionally, the management of transitions between routines can be chaotic for short periods and is not as smooth as possible for all children. This does not have a major impact on their overall learning experiences. n Occasionally, despite children always being within sight and hearing, staff do not
