p.1

The provision is good

Staff are welcoming of families and create positive bonds with children. Great care is taken to learn about, and celebrate, the diversity of cultures and languages in the setting. Staff's nurturing interactions help children feel safe and secure. Children settle quickly into nursery routines and are eager to start their day. Staff have high expectations of children's behaviour. They consistently remind children of the nursery's golden rules. For example, children know to hold the banister as they climb up and down the stairs. This helps children learn how to move around the nursery safely.

The provision is good

Leaders create an ambitious curriculum for all children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children with SEND benefit from knowledgeable staff, who understand how to meet their individual needs. Staff are skilled at interacting with children and engage them in ambitious learning experiences. Babies show impressive listening and attention skills as they become immersed in their singing and rhyme time. They practise making animal sounds and saying single words as they cheerfully complete actions to the songs. Older children explain the meaning of the words 'author' and 'illustrator' as they share books together. Staff motivate children into learning well.

n Leaders have designed a strong curriculum to support children's communication and language development. Some staff know precisely what key vocabulary they want children to acquire. They help children achieve this through their high- quality interactions. However, some staff are less skilled. At times, they do not have a firm understanding of the key vocabulary they want children to learn. This means that the intended curriculum for communication and language is not being implemented consistently. n Staff use their in-depth knowledge of what children know and can do to adapt their planning to focus on children's changing interests. For example, they use children's interest in cars to build on their learning through a visit to the local garage. Staff plan appropriate next steps in children's learning. All children are motivated in their learning and make good progress from their starting points. n Staff value and promote children's understanding of diversity well. They talk to

families about the beliefs that are important to them. Staff plan experiences for children to learn about cultural differences. For example, parents are invited into the nursery to read traditional stories to children in their home language. This helps children develop an understanding of the similarities and differences between themselves and others. n Staff provide ample opportunities to support children's growing independence. At mealtimes, children set the tables, serve themselves, pour their own drinks and

These opportunities help children feel proud of the tasks they have accomplished. n Partnerships with parents are a key strength of this setting. Staff visit children in their home environment to help them prepare for starting at nursery. Family members are invited into the nursery to attend regular stay-and-play sessions, grandparents' days and parents' evenings. Parents comment on how they are continuously updated about children's learning and guided on how they can continue this at home. This further promotes their children's development. n Children behave well. Staff are positive role models of expected behaviours at the setting. They teach children to listen to each other when they are talking. This helps children see the behaviours that staff expect of them, so they learn to

be respectful and kind to one another. n The special educational needs coordinators have established effective partnerships with parents and other professionals involved with children's care and learning. They accompany parents to visit specialist schools to provide guidance and support. Managers carefully consider how additional funding can be used to support learning. This helps to ensure that children with SEND receive consistent support in their learning and development. n Staff implement the curriculum for physical development effectively. They prioritise copious opportunities for children to climb, balance and run around in the outdoor area. Children begin each day at nursery playing with their friends in the outside areas. They giggle with glee and show great skill as they confidently ride around on tricycles. This helps to develop children's large-muscle movements.
