p.1

The provision requires improvement

Staff plan a caring and welcoming environment for children. Staff work hard to build close relationships with children and parents. They get down to the children's level and interact with them. Overall, all children are not receiving good enough levels of support in their learning. Interactions between staff and children are varied and are not consistently at a good level. This impacts on the progress that children make in their development. Staff know children well and plan activities based on what they are interested in and what they need to learn next. However, this is not implemented to a good level and leaders have not ensured that the curriculum is consistently challenging and ambitious for all children.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

Overall, staff support children to show kindness to their friends if they are hurt or upset. Children listen to staff and follow instructions. This helps children to build positive relationships with their peers. Staff use books and talk about their feelings to help children to express and manage their emotions. In the main, staff plan outdoor activities that children enjoy. For instance, they make sandcastles, push trucks around the garden, and look for bugs. However, children quickly lose interest when playing with activities, often moving from one activity to the next. Due to the lack of challenge and the interactions from staff, children are not able to have consistently good learning experiences.

n The managers have worked hard to address the weaknesses identified at the last inspection. They have a targeted plan to work towards with staff at the setting. This has had a positive impact on ensuring that children are kept safe. However, it has not yet had impact on the learning and teaching across the setting. This means that not all children are receiving good levels of support and learning. n Overall, children are happy at nursery and enjoy playing with their friends. When implementing activities, staff do not always ensure that they are challenging and ambitious for all children. This means that children do not make the progress they are capable of. n Staff model behaviours such as tidying up after themselves, saying 'please' and 'thank you' and being kind to others. Children copy these behaviours and are quick to remind each other if they forget. However, the weaknesses in the curriculum and interactions impact on children's attitude and they can find it

hard to remain focused in their learning and lose interest quickly. n Staff comfort children when they are upset and need reassurance. This supports children's emotional well-being. Staff provide opportunities for children to develop their self-help and independence skills, such as washing hands, pouring drinks, and cutting their own fruit at snack time. However, the expectation from

17 July 2024 staff varies and the children get different experiences in teaching depending on which member of staff they are with. n Staff support children's understanding of developing healthy lifestyles through ensuring that children have daily physical challenges and providing healthy snacks and meals. Staff have introduced teeth brushing after mealtimes, which supports children's understanding of developing healthy habits. However, this activity is not well implemented by staff and is largely seen as a task to complete. Therefore, children are not learning why it is important to do this. n The managers work closely with staff to support their learning through training and development. This has had a positive impact on keeping children safe and managing children's behaviour in a positive way. However, the process for supervision and coaching does not always address the inconsistencies in staff's teaching, which has an impact on the quality of education that children receive.

n Parents describe staff as caring and friendly. They like the daily feedback from staff about their children's routines. However, information about children's interests at home is not sought from all parents. Not all parents are aware of what their children are learning at nursery, to enable parents to support and carry on children's learning at home.
