p.1

The provision is good

Children arrive and quickly settle into the familiar routines of the day. They show they feel safe and secure at nursery. For example, they share their experiences with staff and friends of what they did during the weekend. Staff show an interest in what children have to say and ask questions to extend children's language. Staff are positive role models. They show warmth towards children and are attentive to their needs. As a result, children have a good attitude to their learning and behave well.

The provision is good

During the lunchtime routine, staff build children's independence skills. Children understand the importance of washing their hands before saying a short prayer. When children are ready to eat, quieter children are given extra responsibility to hand out the plates and cutlery. Children show they are happy with this role and call out their friends' names so they are ready to serve themselves food. This helps to build children's confidence.

n The manager has taken on board the actions and recommendations from the last inspection to improve the practice in the nursery. Staff understand their role and how to implement the expectations for their teaching. They know children well, and what they need to put in place for children to make good progress. Staff adapt their teaching according to the stage and needs of children. As a result, children display confidence and behave well. n Staff have attended a range of training sessions to improve their teaching practice and knowledge. They have regular supervision sessions with their manager, where they discuss their strengths and what further support they need. Staff appreciate this time. However, staff training is not evaluated consistently to ensure that their understanding is embedded in practice. n Staff support children to develop their communication and literacy skills.

29 July 2024 during the day to develop a love of books and their literacy skills further. n Children develop good physical skills through a range of opportunities. They play football together, taking their turn to kick the ball into the net. Staff support children to keep trying if they do not succeed at first. Younger children use the slide and build their confidence as they climb the steps. Children build their small finger muscles, for example, by rolling, cutting and manipulating the play dough into shapes. This helps to support their early writing skills. n Children learn mathematics throughout the day. Staff count objects and resources, so children hear numbers and repeat back. During a water activity, children expand their mathematical knowledge by learning about quantities. They fill and pour containers and happily say when containers require 'more' water or are 'full'. n Children enjoy lots of sensory experiences throughout the day. As they paint,

younger and older children love to swirl the paint with their brushes, which vary in size according to the stage of learning for each child. Staff model how children can vary their artwork by using their fingers to explore the soft paint to create fingerprints. Children joyfully explore the textures and the various colours of paints that are mixed to create new colours. n Parents say that their children enjoy coming to nursery. They know who their child's key person is and say that their children have a warm bond with staff. However, staff's communication with parents about what their children are doing each week is not consistent.
