p.1

The provision is good

Children enjoy exploring the wide range of resources available to them in safe and secure surroundings. They build close bonds with staff who are sensitive to their needs. Staff encourage children to develop their independence from an early age. In the baby room, children clean their faces using a mirror after they have had their lunch. Staff encourage children in the pre-school room to learn a sense of responsibility. For example, children take turns to complete daily tasks, such as sweeping up the sand or feeding the nursery's pets. This supports children to increase their confidence and independence.

p.2

The provision is good

Children behave well throughout the day. They listen to staff and follow instructions, as they are familiar with the nursery's routine. Staff praise children for their persistence when they are trying to solve problems. They praise children further for sharing and using 'kind hands'. Children learn what is expected of them in preparation for the next stage in their learning, such as going to school.

p.2

The provision is good

Staff understand how young children learn and regularly introduce new language to children. This helps children to develop their language and communication skills. Staff say 'empty' and 'full' as children experiment in the water tray. They comment on children's play as they sit alongside them. Staff repeat back words to children when they do not quite get the word right. This helps children to increase their range of vocabulary and become confident communicators.

n The manager works with her staff team to ensure that all staff understand how young children learn. Staff are now confident to plan and implement the curriculum. They use assessment well to identify children's next steps in learning. n Staff support children to build their skills over time. For example, children develop their fine motor skills from an early age. Babies enjoy using their hands to grab objects from a tray. They squeeze sponges of water and practise using a spoon to feed themselves. As children's skills develop, they are provided with further opportunities to develop the muscles in their hands to help with their early writing skills. n Staff teach children new skills during small-group activities, such as how to use a pipette to transport water from one container to another. They allow further time for children to practise these new skills. However, on a small number of occasions, children, who are not yet developmentally ready, are expected to

take part in large group times. This means that some children in the pre-school room do not benefit fully from these larger group sessions. n Staff provide children with experiences that help them to learn about the wider

3 July 2023 world. For instance, they learn to care for the nursery pets. Babies watch with interest as staff talk about the pet fish. Toddlers feed the snail lettuce that they have grown in the nursery garden. Pre-school children learn how to take care of chicks. They recently voted for a new nursery pet and enjoyed a trip to the pet shop. n Staff support children to regulate their own behaviour and emotions. They talk to children about how they are feeling and how their behaviour affects others. However, some staff are not always consistent in their expectations of children's behaviour. This very occasionally can become confusing for children who find regulating their own emotions a challenge. n Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported by staff who know them well. Staff gather information about children when they start at the nursery so that they understand their needs. They work

in partnership with parents and other agencies to ensure that children with SEND make good progress alongside their peers. n Parents say that their children have become more independent and have increased their vocabulary. They are grateful for the support and flexibility that the nursery offers. n Managers have acted promptly to address past weaknesses. They use effective performance management processes to identify training and development for staff. For instance, staff have undertaken training to help them to support children's language and communication skills. This has had a positive impact on children's development across all age groups.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

Staff have received training to ensure that they understand their responsibilities to safeguard children. Staff all know the signs that a child might be suffering from harm or abuse. They are clear about reporting procedures to ensure that immediate action is taken when necessary to protect children. In addition, staff are clear about what they would do in the event of an allegation against a member of staff. Record-keeping is vigorous and closely monitored. Managers have secure processes for ensuring that all those with legal responsibility for the nursery have the required checks. This further ensures children's safety and welfare.
