Children are very happy and settled at the nursery. They are cared for by passionate staff, who know them well. Staff meet children's emotional needs really well. Staff provide lots of comfort and reassurance to new children and follow babies' individual eating and sleeping routines.

p.2

The provision is good

Staff present as a strong team, who work well together and support each other when needed. They also provide the setting with a 'homely' feel, which parents also notice and comment about. Staff ensure they give children choices, such as about whether they want to play indoors or outdoors, what fruit they would like for snack and what music and action rhymes they would like to listen to. This promotes children's self-esteem and helps them to feel valued at the nursery.

p.2

The provision is good

As a result, all children, including those with additional needs and those who speak English as a second language, are making good progress. Staff ensure that children are busy and engaged in interesting activities throughout the day. Children are well behaved. Staff manage any minor disputes calmly and sensitively, for example, when reminding children to share and take turns with their peers.

Staff take children for visits to the local park, they have had a teddy bears' picnic at the local church, and often go shopping to the nearby outdoor market for fresh fruit and vegetables for snack time. n Children play really well independently and also alongside each other during lots of child-led activities. There are, however, less routinely planned adult-led activities to enable staff to support children even further, for example supporting interactions and building on what children already know and can do. n Children's learning and development are regularly assessed and monitored by staff. However, their next steps for learning are not always sharply focused to ensure rapid progress. Despite this, all children are still making good progress in their development. n Staff work well with other professionals to ensure that children's individual needs are met, for example, with speech and language professionals and with local
