p.1

The provision is good

Children are valued and nurtured at nursery. Staff get to know the children and their families and they recognise when children may need additional support. Children quickly settle and explore the safe and stimulating nursery. Staff consistently praise and support children as they play. They offer warm cuddles and reassurance when newer children arrive needing additional support. This helps children's well-being and builds their confidence. Staff are responsive to children's interests and create areas and activities that they know children will enjoy.

The provision is good

Staff encourage children to keep themselves safe. They gently remind them to stay at the table while they are eating. The nursery's curriculum is designed to build on essential skills children need for the future, this includes ensuring children build their physical skills. Children are supported to take appropriate risks and develop their large muscle skills as they scramble up the climbing frame and push themselves down the slide. Children smile as they dance to music and remember the words of familiar songs, copying actions from enthusiastic staff. Staff are a good role model to children. As children play, staff remind them by saying, 'We are friends, we can share.' Children show that they understand this and they are respectful to their friends and grown-ups, remembering to say please and thank you.

n The committed and passionate nursery manager and her staff team have worked hard to make improvements since the last inspection. The manager has effectively addressed the action previously set. A strong key-person system ensures that children and their families are supported well. Staff know their key children well. They observe and assess children and they have clear next steps in place for children's learning. However, staff do not consistently build on providing children with new knowledge during child-initiated play to deepen children's learning. n The manager and staff have created a curriculum that considers the interests of the children at nursery. A recent trip to a role-play centre has resulted in staff creating a focused role-play room for the children. This enables staff to support children to further deepen their social skills and develop further communication skills. n The manager and her staff carefully consider how to plan engaging and

stimulating environments for children at nursery. However, the manager has not fully considered how distractions at nursery may interrupt children's learning. For example, while children were deeply engaged in outdoor play, staff disrupted their learning by introducing an activity using loud music outdoors. n Parents speak highly of the care and dedication that the manager and her team

Additional support is provided for younger children by ensuring they have familiar comforters from home to hand and that parents are given regular updates of how children are supported to settle. n The manager and her staff have created a positive and inclusive provision. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well. Children with SEND receive targeted support from their key person, who communicate with other professionals who help and advise them. This helps children make good progress in their learning, such as building on their social and communication skills.
