p.1

The provision is good

Children happily enter this inviting nursery. They are greeted by warm and welcoming staff. Staff gather valuable information about children before they start, such as their interests, medical details, and routines. This is cleverly displayed throughout the nursery, so that all staff have a clear understanding of children's needs. This helps them to get to know children well and forge relationships. As a result, children are happy, settle quickly and demonstrate that they feel safe and secure in their environment.

The provision is good

Staff gently implement the rules and boundaries of the nursery, such as walking feet and 'kind hands'. Staff use stickers to reward children's good listening and positive behaviour. Staff clearly explain the impact any unwanted behaviour has. Consequently, children gain a comprehensive understanding of why they should behave well. This is preparing them well for their future move to school.

p.2

The provision is good

Staff plan for the individual needs of children. They provide them with a wide range of activities and resources that consistently motivate them to play and learn. For example, children delight in planting flowers and learning about what the flowers need to help them grow. They work together and share resources. They show a positive attitude towards learning. As a result, all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), engage in activities for an extended time. This supports children to make good progress in their learning from their various starting points.

n Leaders have a clear understanding of what they want children to learn during their time in nursery. The curriculum is broad and ambitious. Staff ask open- ended questions and extend children's problem-solving skills. However, some staff do not recognise the impact the volume of their voices has on teaching. Some staff speak loudly, while others sing loudly. This affects how well children can hear. At times, older children mimic the volume and talk over each other. This means some children are distracted or do not fully focus on what is being asked of them. n Leaders and managers are enthusiastic and motivated. They strive to maintain the good standards of care and education they provide. A strong focus is placed on the well-being of staff. Staff report high levels of satisfaction in their roles. They say they feel valued and supported. This results in high staff morale and a low turnover of staff. This helps to improve the overall quality of the nursery.
