group times will be planned to promote children's developing communication and language skills. n The manager describes how children's emotional development will be supported. Each day, staff will spend one-to-one time with each child to find out how they are feeling. If children are feeling sad or frustrated, staff will find out why and will help. This will support children's good behaviour because they will learn to understand and manage their feelings in a positive way. n Staff have created a 'nose blowing station' and a 'drinks station' in each room. Children will be encouraged to independently manage their own care needs by accessing these stations in response to what their body needs. Children will learn the skills they need to look after themselves. n As children's independence and coordination develop, staff will encourage them to serve their own food at mealtimes. The food provided will be nutritious to

contribute to children's good health. Through this, children will start to recognise when they feel hungry or full and will learn to adapt their portion sizes accordingly. n Children will play outdoors everyday, where they can enjoy fresh air and physical activity. This will keep children fit and active. Additionally, staff will take children to an adjoining sports hall, where children can practise using their large-muscle skills to throw, run, and play with ride-on toys. n The manager describes how children will learn about their community and the wider world around them. Staff will celebrate different religious and cultural festivals with children through age-appropriate activities. Children will learn about diversity and what makes themselves and others unique. n A new manager has been appointed to drive the improvements needed to get the nursery ready for re-opening. At the time of the inspection, Ofsted had not

This provision meets requirements

18 October 2023 There were no children in the early years age range present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no early years children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
