p.1

The provision is good

Children arrive happy and enjoy their time at the nursery. The staff team are kind and caring. Children's emotional well-being is a high priority. Throughout the day, staff offer comfort, warmth and reassurance. This helps children to feel secure in the environment. Staff manage younger children's personal care needs with sensitivity. Older children are becoming independent in their own care. Children develop close relationships with their friends and are excited to see them. They show high levels of self-esteem and confidence as they engage in large-group activities. Younger children practise their physical skills as they independently climb the slide, one foot at a time. More confident children jump, lifting both feet of the floor.

The provision is good

Children learn to behave well from a young age. Children learn simple rules that help them to manage their own behaviour. They think about their own feelings and the feelings of others. Children learn to take turns and to share. Staff provide a gentle reminder to children of the importance of keeping safe. They teach children to think about others.

p.2

The provision is good

Overall, the curriculum is ambitious. It provides children with a good structure to support them to acquire the wide range of skills they need to learn, to become motivated, successful learners.

need to do better?

n The management team and staff want children to do well. There is a shared understanding of what that they want to teach children. Accurate assessments of the children, support staff to identify what the children already know. This helps them to effectively plan for children's next stage of learning. An annual review of the curriculum helps to focus the team on the emerging needs of children and families. That said, the curriculum could be further improved to support younger children's daily access to outdoor play. n The management team recognise the importance of investing in the staff team to continue to improve the quality of care and education. They provide staff with regular support and training. Monthly supervisions provide staff with time to consider the needs of the children, along with their own well-being and professional development. n Children who may have special educational needs and/or disabilities receive

26 July 2023 activities, so that all children are able to take part and succeed. Babies hear language throughout the day as staff sing and talk to them. Staff repeat words and respond to them as they babble and practise their emerging sounds. Staff blow bubbles and the babies' faces light up. They begin to move their bodies, as they reach to catch them in the air. n Toddlers enjoy exploring foam and water. They develop their fine muscle skills as they squeeze water in and out of a pipette to wash the play animals. They create simple patterns, drawing in flour. Children learn about their own health and well-being. They are captivated by the story of a princess with a wobbly tooth. Staff help children to recall what they know and understand. Some children repeat their favourite words and staff praise them for their good listening. n In group games, older children identify different shapes and match these with

confidence. They become accomplished in their physical development. They move their bodies along the floor as they negotiate the obstacle course with skill. n Children learn to self-regulate their behaviour and understand that what they do has an impact on others. They wait their turn and listen to the views of others, showing respect and tolerance. This prepares them well for their eventual move to school. However, children do not yet fully consider the wide range of different families that are part of our communities. n Parents report that they are very pleased with their children's care and education. They express high levels of praise for the staff team.

Safeguarding

Staff are familiar with the wide range of signs and symptoms that may indicate that a child in their care is more vulnerable to risk of abuse. They know the local procedures for reporting any concerns. This includes if they had a concern about an adult working or having contact with children. Staff are clear about their responsibility to keep children safe. The premises are safe and secure. Daily risk assessments help staff to identify any hazards to children's safety. The management team takes immediate action to minimise any identified risks to children. Documentation supports the safe and effective management of the setting.
