p.1

The provision is good

Children develop secure and trusting relationships with staff. Children arrive at the setting eager to start their day, and they quickly settle to their chosen activity. Children learn to be respectful of others and resources. Staff swiftly intervene if they notice minor disagreements, supporting children to work together. Staff support older babies to play on the slide safely, helping to position babies to ensure they sit correctly so they do not slip or accidentally kick their friends.

p.2

The provision is good

Staff place a high priority on supporting children's speech, language and communication. They use every available opportunity to read books, communicate and model new words to children. During outdoor play, toddlers enjoy wading through the long, wet grass. Staff introduce words such as 'slippery' and 'soggy' as children play. Toddlers collect sticks, and staff repeat familiar phrases from a story about a stick man. Toddlers recall the story and pretend to throw sticks for a dog. All children demonstrate a love of books, and staff have thoughtfully placed books throughout the setting. Babies listen to a story about animals dancing in the jungle. Staff repeat phrases as babies try to copy them. Staff enthusiastically sing the 'Boogie Woogie' song while babies eagerly join in with the actions. Pre-school children listen to a story about sea animals. They delight in helping to retell parts of the story. Staff talk to children about plastic in the ocean, and children recall

that plastic makes sea animals sick. This supports children to learn about the world around them.

need to do better?

n Leaders and managers are reflective and strive for continuous improvement. They gather regular feedback from staff and parents to enhance the provision further. For example, parts of the outdoor area are being developed to strengthen what is on offer for children. Staff state that they enjoy working in the nursery. They say they feel supported by managers and comment that their well-being is considered. n Parents are positive about the care their children receive. They state that their children enjoy the multitude of outdoor play experiences on offer and that their children are developing their social skills. Parents feel that their children are progressing well, commenting that they are appropriately informed about activities children are involved in at nursery. n Staff ensure that all children have multiple daily opportunities to access fresh air and outdoor play, regardless of the weather. Babies use their muscles as they

confidently rock back and forth on rocking horses. Staff support two- and three- year olds to balance on beams, jump safely from small platforms and use the rope swings. They help children to safely negotiate the uneven ground as they play hide and seek with their friends. Pre-school children are eager to feed the

1 August 2023 chickens. They help staff to pour seeds and provide the chickens with clean water. Children learn not to chase the chickens so they do not scare them. This helps children to learn how to take care of other living things. n The staff know the children and their families well. They genuinely care about the children and want them to have the best start in life. They work closely with families and other professionals to ensure that early help is put in place for those who require additional support. For example, staff apply for additional funding to support children's effective transition to school. This helps to support children's readiness for the next stage in their education. n Overall, staff deployment is effective. Staff engage with children during their play, and routine activities build on what they want children to learn next, and they help to develop their interests further. However, staff deployment within

the toddler room is not always consistent. For example, staff focus on daily chores for long periods, which takes them away from the children. To this end, younger children receive less support from staff to extend their learning. n Staff aim to develop children's independence skills. For example, four-year olds access the toilet themselves, serve themselves lunch and put on their wellington boots ready for outdoor play. However, opportunities for children to carry out tasks for themselves are not always consistent. For example, staff are quick to complete tasks for three-year-old children which they can do themselves. This includes pouring their drinks, serving their food and putting their coats on for them. This impacts on children's ability to carry out tasks for themselves.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Managers and staff recognise their responsibilities to keep children safe. They are aware of the signs and symptoms that may indicate that a child is at risk of harm. This includes those who may potentially be at risk from radical views. Staff know the procedure to follow should they need to report a concern about a child or a member of staff. The manager ensures that safer recruitment checks are undertaken to confirm the ongoing suitability of those working with children. Staff work closely with parents to manage children's allergies, dietary requirements and intolerances. They follow an established process to ensure that information is safely communicated across the nursery.
