Areas to develop - 1 support staff, particularly those who have less experience and knowledge of teaching, to build on what children already know and can do, to introduce more challenging concepts and ideas and to help children to develop their learning and do even more - 2 enhance support for those families of children who are learning to speak English as an additional language, so that these children have more opportunities to hear English and practise speaking English at home, as well as in the nursery.

Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision The special educational needs coordinator ensures that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are offered good support. She is swift to work in partnership with parents, and other professionals, in order to help these children reach their full potential. Outdoor space The curriculum is equally strong inside and outdoors. Older children learn to care for living things, as they feed the chickens that live in the nursery garden and see if they have laid eggs. The inspector observed staff interaction with the children, both inside and outside, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning. EAL / language support All children, including those who speak English as an additional language or are slower to speak, benefit from a language rich environment. Staff provide commentary and support correct pronunciation. Children hear new vocabulary as they sculpt shapes using shaving foam. Parents receive some ideas to continue learning at home. However, those with children who are learning to speak English as an additional language are not so well supported to help their children to hear and practise speaking English at home.
