The provision is good

Staff are nurturing, and they warmly welcome children when they arrive at this vibrant and friendly nursery. They greet children eagerly and are reassuring and attentive to children's needs. Staff know that children learn best when they feel safe and secure. They spend time getting to know children and develop positive relationships with them. Staff create a caring and fostering environment in which children can grow and develop. Consequently, children are excited to learn and settle quickly, eager to play.

The provision is good

Children are curious learners. Staff plan a curriculum that supports children to continuously develop their learning as they move through the nursery. They use children's interests effectively to create activities and experiences for them. For instance, children learn about their emotions. Staff use effective ways to support children to understand their emotions and those of others. Therefore, children are keen to share and take turns, make friends and respond to others with respect and kindness.

n Leaders and staff aim to help children gain independence. They provide opportunities throughout the day for children to do things themselves.

They show passion for continually introducing new vocabulary to children and giving clear explanations through a variety of activities. They enthusiastically sing songs and share a range of stories with children. Staff ask questions to support their understanding and sequencing skills. Children show enthusiasm for all these activities but, at times, staff do not always give children time to respond to their questioning or to share their own ideas and thoughts. n Mathematics is consistently embedded in children's activities. Staff provide play- based experiences to encourage children to expand their maths vocabulary. For example, children count skittles as they arrange them in a row and roll a ball toward them. Children squeal in delight as the skittles fall over. This helps build
