The nursery prioritises creating a safe, secure, happy, and relaxed atmosphere where each child can thrive. Their approach is child-centred and play-based, adhering to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. The dedicated team observes and assesses individual interests and needs to plan activities that support all developmental areas. The curriculum aims to foster physical, intellectual, social, and emotional growth through developmentally appropriate and hands-on experiences. The nursery actively encourages parent participation and collaborates with authorities to ensure high-quality childcare tailored to each child. They are committed to providing an inclusive environment where all children are given equal opportunities and respect, irrespective of their background or needs. The nursery also places a strong emphasis on safeguarding, ensuring children are protected and can enjoy a secure haven for growth and learning. Our ethos Good Shepherd Day Nursery believes in a holistic approach to childcare and education, working in partnership with parents and authorities to provide consistent high-quality childcare that meets the needs of each individual child. The aim is to provide care and an early learning environment tailored to each child’s needs, in a safe, secure, happy, and relaxed setting. They provide for diverse and challenging needs, enabling participation in activities that enhance intellectual, creative, spiritual, social, physical, and emotional growth, while offering communication and socialisation opportunities regardless of race, culture, creed, or special needs. The nursery supports a stimulating and varied learning environment to enable each child to reach their full potential, ensuring equal opportunities, respect, and an anti-discriminatory environment. They work in partnership with parents/carers for the benefit of the child and actively maintain high ethical standards, encouraging communication with other agencies. They provide a warm, safe, and stimulating atmosphere that actively encourages a child-led environment and upholds all GSDN aims and strategies. What it's like Although staff have some understanding of the learning intentions for activities, they do not implement experiences well enough to ensure children achieve highly. The quality of teaching is variable, and not all staff are confident in extending children's learning. Children are happy, separate from parents with ease, and are eager to join friends. Staff are kind and nurturing, providing reassurance and praise to support children's self-esteem, helping them feel safe and secure.

Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child Outdoor space Children enjoy building sandcastles in the garden. Staff promote children's physical skills well. Children enjoy time exploring the large and spacious garden. Staff join children as they use magnifying glasses as they look for minibeasts under wooden logs. Children develop their gross motor skills as they ride bikes and other wheeled toys and use stepping stones, counting them as they do. EAL / language support Those children who speak English as an additional language are supported by staff who can speak in the children's home languages. That said, staff do not always implement effective strategies for building on early language skills. Children are not always given enough time to practise speaking using more complex sentences. Staff often ask questions that only require single word responses.
