The provision is good

Children are warmly welcomed by staff when they arrive at the nursery. They are excited to see their friends. Staff know each child and their family well. They create a calm, home-like atmosphere where children feel safe and secure. Staff recognise how important strong relationships are for children's learning and development. Children invite staff to play alongside them. In the outdoor area, toddlers wear firefighter costumes. They run around and pretend to put out fires. Staff join in, running with the children. They extend play by suggesting finding a water hose to put out the pretend fire, supporting children in developing their creative and physical skills.

The provision is good

Staff have developed a good curriculum that prepares children for the next stage of learning. In the baby room, staff talk clearly and introduce new words to help babies build their communication skills. Staff support pre-school children to be ready for moving to primary school. For example, new teachers visit the nursery to meet the children, helping children to feel more confident about their upcoming change. Children are curious learners who show good levels of concentration. Staff support children in developing their own ideas. Pre-school children build their creative skills as they use glue to stick coloured tissue onto paper. They strengthen their hands by using pens to create colourful marks and express themselves.

For example, they can choose what, and how much, lunch to serve themselves and eat. n Staff help children to build physical confidence and healthy bodies.

and share. Children play well together. For example, they cooperatively pretend to bake cakes in the outdoor kitchen. When children have difficulty taking turns, staff help them to understand how their actions impact others. n Staff have developed a good curriculum, and children of all ages make progress from their starting points.

Nursery 5 August 2025 activities that staff plan for pre-school children often do not include the challenge needed for them to progress further. n There is a focus on guiding children to explore the local community. During visits to parks and a pet shop, children learn about nature and animals. Staff take children of all ages to the local supermarket, and children learn about where food comes from. However, at times, staff do not create opportunities to support children to understand and celebrate similarities and differences and to learn more about different religions and cultures further. n Parent feedback is positive. They report that there is an in-depth settling-in period that is tailored to the needs of the children. Parents feel confident leaving their children and know their needs are met. Staff guide parents on childcare issues, such as toilet training. Parents say that communication is effective and
