p.1

The provision is good

Children are happy, relaxed and enjoy their time at the welcoming nursery. They form strong bonds with the staff, who get to know them well. This helps children to feel safe and secure and builds on their confidence in settling into the daily sessions. Staff have high expectations for all children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They provide a range of activities for the differing interests and ages of children they care for.

The provision is good

Staff plan a broad curriculum that enables children to follow their interests, which develops their knowledge and skills. They ensure the well-thought-out activities enable all children to take part in the different learning opportunities. For example, older children immerse themselves in building the 'Great Wall of China'. They are completely absorbed in what they are doing as they balance large foam bricks and develop their imaginative skills. Children are highly motivated and have an extremely positive attitude to their learning.

14 June 2024 children gentle reminders at times, and children listen and respond to staff positively. Older children are kind and caring towards younger children. For instance, they patiently wait their turn to use the obstacle course in the garden while younger children develop their gross motor skills as they balance across wooden blocks. n Staff use a range of opportunities to support children in their emerging understanding of mathematics. Staff model counting and use opportunities to extend children's mathematical language.

He observes staff's practice and provides constructive feedback to improve their knowledge and skills further. Staff say they feel valued and enjoy working at the

Plans to raise staff's teaching practice even higher are not yet implemented consistently. n Parents speak highly of the nursery. They praise staff for establishing positive relationships with children and have daily opportunities to speak with staff about their children's day. However, extending opportunities for parents to gather and share information about their children's learning and experiences is an acknowledged area for further review.
