The provision is good

Children flourish in this welcoming and safe nursery. Staff have a kind and caring nature. They build a strong bond with the children they care for and are sensitive to their individual needs. Children are visibly happy and show they feel safe and secure. Staff support their emotional well-being successfully. Staff have high expectations of children's behaviour and teach them how to behave well. Children learn the rules to follow and how to be responsible. For instance, pre-school children eagerly help to tidy up and learn how to look after resources. Staff regularly praise children, supporting them to develop good levels of self-esteem.

The provision is good

The manager has a clear and ambitious curriculum intent that has a strong focus on supporting children's independence, language and understanding about the world around them. Overall, staff share the manager's vision and help children to develop the skills they need for their future learning well, including any children with special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All children make good progress across all areas of development. Staff plan exciting activities that children are keen to engage in. For instance, children in the toddler room are eager to explore shaving foam and show high levels of curiosity. Staff are skilled at engaging children in learning experiences and children show high levels of concentration.

n Staff know their key children well. They know what children can do and what they need to learn next, planning suitably challenging activities generally well to help children achieve this. n Children develop very good communication skills. Staff use their expertise well to teach children new words and how to use them in context. For example, pre- school children what the 'spine' and 'blurb' is on a book. Staff model words for babies to copy during activities, such as names of animals and the sounds they make. Children develop a wide vocabulary and are confident talkers. n The manager monitors children's progress effectively. She recognises when children may have delays in their learning and takes swift action to address any gaps in their development. She and staff work well with other professionals to seek further support children may need in their learning. n Overall, children develop the skills they need in readiness for school. For

example, children learn to recognise their name, to recite numbers in the correct order and to manage their own personal needs. However, there is scope for staff to strengthen their teaching of literacy. For instance, at times staff mispronounce the sounds letters make when teaching children early reading skills. n Staff support children with SEND well. They adapt their interactions effectively to

28 July 2023 meet children's individual needs. For instance, staff use visual aids to help support children's understanding and to aid communication. n The manager and provider are very passionate about their role. They are reflective and welcome advice from others, such as parents, to help continually improve practice at the setting. Since the last inspection, they have provided more opportunities for children to use the outdoor environment to learn. For instance, children can access a quiet reading area outside and can engage in storytelling outdoors. n Staff have good opportunities to develop their skills and teaching practice overall, such as through training. Leaders recognise areas where staff require further support to improve their practice. However, at times, they do not provide focused and timely professional development opportunities for all staff. Therefore, staff are not always able to make swift improvements to their

teaching to further enhance the quality of children's education. n Partnerships with parents are strong. Parents receive regular and detailed information about their children's care and development at the nursery. The manager involves parents in children's learning very well, such as through setting up a nursery library, to help encourage reading at home.

The premises are safe. The manager implements effective risk assessment procedures to remove or minimise any risk to children to maintain their well-being.
