New Vision Day Nursery

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Managers have high aspirations for ongoing development and have worked hard to meet the actions set at the previous inspection. • Children are encouraged to become independent.

They cut up fruit for themselves and their friends at snack time. They self-serve their lunch and prepare their own tea. • Staff provide a family-centred settling-in procedure which is focused around the child and the family's needs.

Managers are very flexible and allow families to take as much time as they need to settle their children into the setting, which has enabled strong attachments to develop between the child and their key person. • Staff work with families of ch...ildren who speak English as an additional language to put programmes in place to support them with their communication. For example, a bank of key words, such as sit down, toilet and water, is put together in various languages in order for staff to communicate with children in their first language throughout the day.

• Staff have started to use a new online assessment tool which has helped to identify gaps in the learning of individuals and groups of children. Staff then target their teaching and resources to these specific areas. • Staff work closely with professionals and families to plan targeted support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

• Recent changes to the planning process mean that, overall, children receive good teaching and adult interaction. However, at times, staff are not always clear about the learning that they expect from an activity. • Staff do not always make the most of opportunities for babies to explore and investigate natural materials indoors to further extend their sensory experiences in play and develop their imagination.
