The provision is good

Children thoroughly enjoy their time at this calm, homely nursery. Staff place high importance on supporting children's physical and emotional well-being. They provide opportunities to support children to learn how to calm their bodies and the importance of drinking lots of water. Staff implement flexible routines and transitions that meet the needs of children. Parents state that their children settled quickly and that staff fully support children as they move to the next room and then on to school. Children form meaningful relationships with the staff and each other. Babies smile as they see their key person. Older children talk about staff with fondness. The nurturing attitude of the staff helps children to feel safe and secure.

The provision is good

Leaders have high expectations for all children's learning. They provide an exciting, aspirational curriculum that motivates children's love of learning. Staff allow children to lead their own play. They encourage children to think through and test out their ideas. For example, children eagerly add ingredients into a bowl to make dough. When they notice the mixture is 'too sticky', staff encourage them to think about how they could solve the problem. Children predict they may need more water and explore adding more water. They quickly realise that they need more flour. Children proudly announce that 'it has turned into dough' as they squeeze their mixture. Children become eager learners and make good progress in their learning.

n Staff's interactions extend children's learning successfully. Staff know children's next steps well and are clear about what they intend for children to learn next. Staff support children to develop their communication skills as they play alongside them and model lots of new vocabulary. When children show an interest in animals, staff show them books about other animals and encourage them to consider mathematical concepts, such as size and quantity. n Staff provide many opportunities for children to be physically active. Staff skilfully support babies as they take their first steps. They provide fun activities that encourage babies to roll balls and cars to each other. Older children take part in many games, where they run and chase each other and kick footballs. Children's physical development is supported well by all staff. n Children of all ages have access to an interesting variety of mark-making

opportunities. Children paint car wheels and print them onto paper. They stretch up high outside to paint the walls with water. Children ask staff to lie down as they draw around them. As older children create their own pictures, they eagerly have a go at writing their names on the top and display them proudly. These exciting experiences help children to develop a love of mark making and early writing.

15 March 2024 n Children benefit from quality time with staff as they share books together. Staff ensure children have access to a wide range of interesting stories. Babies crawl over to select their favourite books. They giggle as they find their favourite page and feel the texture. Older children confidently retell their favourite stories. Staff provide them with a range of props, which extends their imaginations. n Children show delight as staff introduce planned activities. Babies eagerly post balls through pipes and shout, 'ready, steady go'. Older children quickly sit on their own sitting spot to listen to stories. However, at these times, staff do not always consider how they can support children's wide-ranging individual needs. This results in some children losing focus and not fully benefiting from these learning experiences. n Leaders have taken action in response to weaknesses they identified in the

setting's complaints procedures. They have updated the policies and procedures to ensure they notify any complainant of the outcome of complaints within the required timescales. n The setting's knowledgeable special educational needs coordinator is committed and knowledgeable about the role. Effective systems are in place to identify any delays in children's development. Staff implement individual support for children well. Leaders value the importance of multi-agency working. Strong links have been established with agencies to help children to be protected and make good progress. n Leaders value the importance of providing support and training to staff. Staff report that they are happy and well supported in their roles. Leaders take time to observe staff practice and to provide feedback on strengths and how staff can improve further. However, leaders do not always use this information to target training that specifically builds on what staff know and need to learn next to
