p.1

The provision is good

Leaders and staff have made significant improvements to the overall quality of care and education children receive. Leaders have developed a broad and varied curriculum that builds on what children know and can do. Staff regularly complete observations and assessments of children's progress. They use this information to plan interesting activities that motivate children to engage. As a result, children show a positive attitude towards learning and are being prepared well for their next stage in education.

The provision is good

The good health of children is now given high priority. Staff regularly prompt children to drink water and stay hydrated. Fresh drinking water is available to all children throughout the day. Staff encourage children to try new foods and encourage independence. For example, staff support children to peel different fruits and pour their own drinks. Children are confident to ask for help, and all children enjoy healthy snacks. Hand hygiene practice is now embedded into the routines of the day. Children line up nicely to go and wash their hands before eating and after playing outside. This encourages good hygiene habits for their future.

p.2

The provision is good

There have been vast improvements in how staff manage children's behaviour and implement rules. This has a positive effect on how well children are being prepared for school. Staff gently encourage children to follow rules and boundaries. Children listen and show respect for their environment. They help each other kindly to tidy up. Staff encourage children to form a train to move safely outdoors. Consequently, children are happy, safe and enjoy their time in the nursery.

They have a clear vision and passion to continue to improve outcomes for all children. Staff feel positive about the support, training and improvements that have been made since the last inspection. As a result, there is a happy, committed staff team that works well together. n Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is now effective.

12 November 2024 appropriate strategies to help children understand the impact of any unwanted behaviour. Staff get down on the children's level and fully explain how and why they should behave well. As a result, children are learning respect towards others, the environment is calm and children are safe. n Staff implement a structured routine to support children to understand what is happening next. However, sometimes this routine is not flexible enough to allow children to follow their own ideas. Staff sometimes direct children to the next task when they are still engrossed in an activity. This disrupts their learning. n Staff make good use of basic signing to support children's communication and language. Staff use visual aids to implement rules, such as good listening, good sitting and good tidying. Staff understand they need to talk to children. They ask open-ended questions to challenge children's understanding. However, there are

times staff ask lots of questions in quick succession, so it is difficult for children to hear what is asked of them. Children do not then get the time they need to think and respond. n Staff introduce numerical concepts throughout their teaching. This is woven into all activities they plan. Staff count, introduce new shapes, such as semi-circle, and discuss direction of motion, for example, clockwise. This supports children's breadth of knowledge and broadens their understanding of numeracy. n There are lots of interesting opportunities for children to be physically active. All children enjoy daily outdoor play and fresh air. Children delight in climbing, jumping and swinging in the garden. Staff are attentive to children's safety and deploy themselves effectively to keep children safe. n Parents share positive feedback about the nursery and staff. They comment their children are happy and enjoy attending. Information is shared through daily
