What is it like to attend this early years setting?

Since the last inspection, leaders have taken the opportunity to reflect on their practice and provision and implemented plans to achieve the actions set. Leaders and staff have met all actions from the last inspection and improved the curriculum intent and implementation to a good quality. Consequently, the impact of the curriculum on children's learning means they are all ready for their next stage in learning. Leaders have focused staff training and professional development on ensuring that the experiences of children are continuously improved. Staff have received training on the curriculum and on how young children learn. Staff are knowledgeable about how to support children's learning experiences and enhance their development.

Staff plan learning experiences to support all children's individual needs. Children experience regular forest school sessions. These are delivered by trained and experienced staff. Children develop their independence skills, and they learn how to manage risks and how to keep themselves safe. Children learn transferable skills, which they then apply to all aspects of their learning. Children enjoy nutritious, home-cooked meals. Mealtimes are social experiences for children. Older children enjoy the responsibility of helping staff to set up the table for meals.

What does the early years setting do well and what does it need to do better?

• Since the last inspection, leaders have worked hard to bring about improvements to this nursery. Leaders have devised an ambitious curriculum, which is focused on supporting children to reach their potential. Staff implement the curriculum effectively to support children to make good progress.
• Throughout the nursery, staff support children's communication and language development. High-quality interaction takes place between staff and children. Children engage in back-and-forth conversation with their peers as they play. Staff are always close by to extend and challenge children's learning with thought-provoking questions.
• Staff recognise the importance of encouraging all children to participate in learning experiences, but they recognise that some children progress quicker than others. However, on rare occasions, some children do not fully engage in group activities, and staff do not always plan other learning experiences for these children to ensure that they are still engaged in something meaningful.
• Staff ensure that children have ample opportunity to play outside. They have access to fresh air daily and the opportunity to move their bodies in lots of different ways. Staff prioritise children's physical development and recognise the overall impact this has on children's well-being. Through the forest school sessions, children learn to become confident problem-solvers.
• Staff place a great emphasis on supporting children's personal, social and emotional development. Children express themselves incredibly well. They are given the opportunity to learn about different emotions and the feelings these may bring up in their bodies. Children regularly support each other during their play and help their peers if they encounter challenges. This shows that children are developing empathy.
• The nursery manager is also the special educational needs coordinator (SENCo). She works closely with staff to ensure that all children's individual needs are met. Staff implement tailored plans to ensure that children work towards reaching their goals while they wait to access early help from other professionals. This ensures that children thrive.
• Staff know children incredibly well. They plan learning experiences to ensure that children's interests are captured and that they are introduced to new opportunities to extend their interests. Children learn the nursery rules and expectations for their behaviour. They also learn why these rules and expectations are in place and how their actions can affect others. Children make good choices and show care and compassion for their friends.
• Leaders dedicate their time to ensuring that staff morale is kept high and that staff feel valued and appreciated. They ensure that they support the emotional health of staff. This gives staff the space to express themselves and to ensure that they are at their very best for the children. Staff are then able to support children effectively with their mental health.
• Leaders and staff have positive relationships with parents. They have been clear and transparent with parents since the last inspection and shared the plans they had in place. Parents are well informed about their children's time in this nursery, and through regular events, they are very much a part of the nursery experience. Children benefit from continuity in their learning because staff skilfully share with parents what their children are currently working on.

What the setting must and should do next

The provider should:

• continue to develop the curriculum to enhance all children's learning through ambitious and well-sequenced experiences at all times.
