The provision is good

Children love attending this nursery. They arrive happy and are excited to start their day. Parents, carers and children are greeted by their key person. Staff share information so that parents feel confident and comfortable as they leave their babies and toddlers. Staff know children well and create a wide range of engaging and stimulating activities for children to explore. Children start the day exploring a basket of familiar objects so that they settle well. Children develop close bonds with staff. Staff model language as they narrate children's play and encourage children to repeat words. Staff create a calm and uncluttered environment.

The provision is good

Staff are emotionally available for children. They use body language, facial expressions and eye contact as they communicate with babies. As a result, children thrive and show high levels of well-being. Children make excellent progress from their starting points in development. Staff promote a love of reading and stories. Children handle books with care as they turn pages and lift flaps. Staff describe the parts of the book saying, 'front' and 'back.' They share key books and rhymes so that children hear repetition and have opportunities to practise and remember what they have learned. Children learn to socialise as they sit together at the table and share healthy meals. Staff teach children simple sign language, such as 'please' and 'more,' to support their communication.

n Young children enjoy songs and playful games at circle time. Children learn to take turns as they guess who is hiding under the scarf. Staff sing a 'hello' song and include children's names. Children are exuberant and gleefully clap with the rhythm. However, on a few occasions, staff sing quickly and children are not able to identify words in the flow of language, to develop their communication skills further. n Children explore sensory experiences, such as water. They use real equipment and natural resources, such as jugs and fruit. Staff encourage children to explore. They pour water on children's feet to entice them into the play. However, on occasions, staff intervene quickly while children are still exploring. For example, they lift children to stand in the water while they are exploring the sensations with their feet. n Staff nurture children to promote their well-being, joy and engagement. Leaders
