The provision is good

Leaders create a caring and nurturing nursery. Children are welcomed and quickly settle, enjoying the variety of exciting activities as they feel safe and secure. Children develop close relationships with staff who know them well, and they enjoy time together. Babies seek out their key person for a cuddle when they need reassurance.

The provision is good

The ambitious curriculum builds children's knowledge and skills over time. Managers have a vision for what children need to learn and when. Children are ready for their next stage in education. Baby room staff prioritise children's independence, communication and physical development. Babies quickly learn to copy hand signs to communicate their needs and feelings. As children get ready for school, they learn to recognise names, numbers and sounds in words. Managers liaise with the local schools to find out how the nursery can help children to prepare.

The provision is good

Children benefit from enriching outings in the area. Trips to feed the ducks allow for new words to be introduced. Children learn about their community, such as visiting the local care home, changing of the guard or visiting the local department store at Christmas time. These allow children to have the best start and enable all to experience an enriching curriculum.

n Communication and language development is a priority. Children enjoy storytelling and singing. They listen carefully and join in when staff leave gaps to encourage them to roar like a lion or jump up when they hear 'hop, hop, hop'. Staff encourage children to learn language by repeating back words correctly. Children demonstrate understanding as they listen and respond. n Leaders identify intent in their curriculum. However, there is some inconsistency of the skills among the staff team when implementing adult-led activities. For instance, on occasion, staff do not provide the targeted support needed for children to benefit fully from from the intended learning. n Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make excellent progress. Staff quickly identify emerging concerns and talk with parents. They work closely with other professionals to provide targeted support. This includes speech and language therapy and sharing information with other
