p.1

The provision is good

Leaders have created an extremely welcoming and inviting environment. Children are greeted by kind and friendly staff. Staff's warm smiles make children feel at ease, and they happily enter the nursery, keen to start their day. Throughout the day, children show they are happy and relaxed at nursery. Staff plan the day so children quickly learn what is going to happen next. Children learn to move safely around the nursery. Older children gather together quickly for group times. Through these routines, children are learning to listen, follow instructions and be aware of the needs of others.

The provision is good

Leaders have designed an extremely well-considered, ambitious curriculum. Central to the curriculum is children's language development. Staff plan meticulously how they can introduce children to new words and phrases. Many of the children who attend speak English as an additional language. Staff skilfully help these children make the links between the language they hear at home and the new words they learn at nursery. Staff support children who need extra help to make the progress of which they are capable effectively. The high-quality learning experiences that ,staff deliver help ensure children make good progress and develop positive attitudes to learning.

n Staff carefully plan what they want babies and children to learn. For example, when planning topics and themes they identify the words they are going to teach and the information they want children to remember. This helps ensure teaching is focused well on what children need to learn next. For example, when teaching children about animals, staff name the different features that will help children distinguish between different animals themselves. n Staff successfully thread the teaching of important life skills through daily routines. This helps children become increasingly independent in meeting their own needs. Staff teach children how to use cutlery and prepare young children very well for future toilet training. n Staff want all children to achieve to their best. They swiftly refer children with potential special educational needs and/or disabilities to other professionals. While waiting for assessments, staff put in place programmes of tailored support

to help these children get the most out of their time at nursery. For example, they use additional funding to offer small-group times, when staff focus on teaching key words and skills. The children then use these words and skills to join in with the whole-nursery class. n Staff are very skilled and confident when delivering adult-focused learning experiences. They are clear about what they want children to learn, and they deliver teaching very effectively. However, some staff are less confident in their

11 February 2025 role in supporting learning during periods of children's self-chosen play. Although staff recognise when children need some extra help to focus and play purposefully, they do not consistently join in in ways that help children to refocus and practise the skills they have been taught. n Leaders have children's best interests at the heart of their decision-making. They understand how important it is to have a happy, knowledgeable workforce. Leaders support staff to gain further qualifications. They offer staff highly focused feedback and support that help improve their teaching skills further. Children make good progress under the guidance of knowledgeable and content staff. n Parent partnership is strong. Staff build close, professional bonds with parents. They keep them very well informed about children's progress. They provide regular updates on what children are learning, and parents report that this helps

them continue children's learning at home. n The different cultural experiences children bring with them to nursery are valued and cherished. Staff use children's home languages to greet them. They plan a detailed programme of learning that explores children's heritage and also introduces them to cultures different to their own. Babies learn that adults use different sounds in different countries to imitate the noises that animals make. Staff teach children about different foods, music and transport from around the world. Children learn to value their own uniqueness and to be tolerant and respectful of the differences between themselves and others.
