p.1

The provision is good

Children are warmly welcomed into the setting. Staff are kind and caring, providing children with a range of activities and learning opportunities that are linked to their interests. For example, children benefit from dressing-up activities that support their imagination and enjoy singing familiar songs in Spanish and English. This helps children to settle well and make good progress. Children effortlessly engage in conversations with staff and each other in both Spanish and English. The curriculum is well thought out and designed to support children to achieve the next steps in their individual learning journeys. Through engagement and high-quality communication, staff keep the children focused and interested in their learning.

The provision is good

Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and are strong role models for the children in the setting. Children learn to take turns and share. Staff offer gentle guidance and support as children manage conflict resolution in a fair manner. For example, children share resources when doing a creative activity. Staff offer praise and guidance to the children, which they respond to with smiles.

The provision is good

Children have access to a large garden that supports their developing physical skills. For example, children enjoy the climbing frame. Staff are always nearby to support children with these skills and help them to develop spatial awareness and manage their safety. Children joyfully play number games with their friends, such as 'What's the time Mr Wolf?'. This supports the development of early mathematical skills and number recognition.

n Children learn to do things for themselves. They enjoy responsibilities within the setting. For example, they help to set the table at mealtimes. Children take their roles seriously and are careful with the resources, developing respect for their environment. Staff regularly check children's progress and use the information to ensure that they are appropriately supporting all the children. n The nursery provides children with fresh, healthy meals. Leaders have planned a menu that offers children a range of foods from a variety of cuisines. Children are eager to try new foods. Parents say that their children regularly come home and share how much they have enjoyed the food at nursery. Children are encouraged to have healthy routines, with physical activity at the forefront of the daily routine. n The nursery celebrates different cultures and festivals.

5 December 2023 strengthen the settling process for the children. n Children flow freely through the room, picking and choosing activities. They maintain focus through the interactions of the staff. Staff are well deployed and on hand to extend children's learning. For example, when leaf printing, children's attention is drawn to the different patterns that are made. Activities are differentiated to support children at different stages of learning and confidence. Staff know the children well. n There is a big focus on speech, language and communication. Children sing, read books, and have their play narrated. Children benefit from an in-house speech and language therapist, who supports children in developing their speech and language skills further. However, at times, the noise in the room is very loud. This may make it difficult for children to be heard, particularly those who are just developing confidence and the ability to share their thoughts and ideas.

n The special educational needs coordinator is very knowledgeable. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are included in all activities and make good progress from their starting points in development. Leaders are enthusiastic about developing an inclusive environment. They are proactive in sharing their knowledge with the staff in the setting. Activities are planned to be adaptable, with all children encouraged to be involved. n Leaders have prioritised developing a warm working environment. Staff well- being is very important. Leaders operate an open-door policy. Staff are able to talk about their concerns with leaders, and they are dealt with promptly. Staff supervisions happen on a regular basis. Leaders use this as an opportunity to provide training for their staff and further strengthen their practice within the rooms.

Staff understand the possible signs and symptoms of abuse and how to disclose these concerns. The building is secure, and risk assessments are conducted on a daily basis. The room is kept tidy, with any obstacles moved promptly to avoid accidents. Children understand how to keep themselves safe within the setting, and staff support this learning. For example, staff remind children how to use scissors safely and not to run in the room.
