p.1

The provision is good

Children arrive happy and ready to start their day at the nursery. They develop self-assurance as staff provide warm and responsive care. Children new to the nursery settle in easily and have positive relationships with staff and other children who attend. Staff have high expectations for all children. Babies enjoy singing, music and listening to staff read stories in the literacy room. They communicate as they gaze at staff and each other and make facial expressions and babble. Toddlers use words to express themselves. For example, during mealtimes, they ask for what they want to eat and join in with activities of their choice.

The provision is good

Older children listen to longer stories and show that they know what the story is about. They pay attention and join in conversations with staff and each other. All children spend lots of time in the well-resourced garden. They climb, walk along balancing beams and ride bicycles, all of which helps to support their strength, coordination and balance. Babies move freely across the baby room and staff applaud their achievements. Babies explore the soft-play resources, treasure basket and reach out for objects. Staff encourage children to build with plastic building blocks, and they develop their problem-solving skills as they make alterations to their designs so that the pieces fit together.

need to do better?

n Staff support children with additional needs effectively. Staff carry out on-entry observations and assessments so that they can respond quickly to help children catch up in their learning. Staff work well with parents and discuss any concerns they may have about children's development. They work well with external agencies to develop plans for further learning. n Leaders use additional funding effectively to improve the education they offer children. For example, they have purchased new sensory resources, and all children have equal access to the toys. These toys are to help stimulate children's senses such as touch, sight and hearing. Staff have used the funding to purchase toy cars to add to the construction resources, as children have shown a big interest in cars. n Staff work well with parents, who praise staff for supporting their children to make good progress in their learning. Parents say that their children are happy

to come to the nursery and have developed many skills, such as social skills. However, staff do not consistently provide all parents with updates about their child's progress and next steps for learning. Not all parents are given ideas to continue their children's learning at home. n Overall, staff provide an ambitious curriculum and engage with children to help support their learning in all areas. However, some staff show less understanding of how children learn, which does not always ensure that children make the

13 June 2023 most of the learning opportunities available to them. n In the main, children are well behaved and are kind and considerate to staff and each other. However, at times, staff do not use consistent strategies to explain to children how their behaviour can affect their friends. n Staff provide children with constructive routines, which helps to provide them with a sense of security. For example, children enjoy mealtimes, and the food is healthy and varied. Children build close relationships with each other as they share, take turns and talk to each other. n Staff encourage and support children to attend to their own needs. Children are supported to build the skills needed for their eventual move on to school. For example, they take responsibility and wash their hands before eating, and they help to tidy away resources and put on their own coats. n Leaders support staff well. They carry out regular supervision meetings and offer

training. This helps to develop staff's professional practice. n Leaders evaluate practice. For example, they have changed the daily routines for younger and older children. Younger babies eat earlier so that they have more time to eat. Staff eat with older children but not with babies, so that babies have more individual care and attention. This helps to meet children's individual needs.

Safeguarding

They know about wider safeguarding issues, such as the 'Prevent' duty, female genital mutilation and county lines. Leaders follow safer recruitment procedures and check the ongoing suitability of staff. The premises are safe and secure. Staff carry out thorough risk assessments to remove any hazards in the environment. Leaders are aware of what action to take if any allegations are made against staff.
