7 April 2025 n Staff provide opportunities for children to widen their experiences. For example, during frequent trips to the town park, children travel on the local bus. Staff take children on shopping trips to the local shop. This helps children to learn about the local community and develop their social skills as they meet different people. n Staff work effectively to develop children's communication skills. For example, they model language well and read to children with enthusiasm and excitement. Staff use children's self-chosen play as a starting point for lively conversations. They introduce children to new words, use repetition and help children to build sentences. Staff support babies to make the transition from babbling to using first words. n Throughout the nursery, staff support children to develop their small muscles. Babies enjoy making marks in paint using different tools and resources. Older

children use pens as they create different patterns. Staff encourage children to manipulate dough into different shapes. n Overall, staff's interactions with children are positive and effective. During adult- led focused activities, staff enhance children's knowledge and skills effectively. However, during child-led play, some staff do not always help to fully extend children's learning beyond what they already know and can do. n Generally, staff support children to develop their self-help skills. Babies start to feed themselves and older children can manage their own personal care. However, staff do not always recognise when older children are able to do more by themselves. Some routines are not organised well enough to help children to become highly independent. n Partnership working with parents is a key strength of the nursery. Parents are impressed by the wide range of activities and experiences staff provide for their
