Staff cuddle the babies gently, who respond by babbling and snuggling in, demonstrating that they feel safe and secure. The children play cooperatively together and are kind. Inspector highlights - The management team has a clear intent for children's learning and delivers a well-thought-out curriculum. - Staff join in with children during their play and use effective questioning to support children in thinking about how to solve problems. - Children gain good mathematical skills, for instance, during group time staff sing number rhymes and model how to show the numbers using their fingers. - The nursery provides effective settling-in periods, which supports staff to build relationships and attachments with the children and their families. - Children become independent while learning to serve breakfast and place dishes in the washing-up bowls. Areas to develop - 1 strengthen staff's skills in supporting children's independence - 2 strengthen support for quieter, less confident children, to help them participate in activities and build their confidence.

Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive good levels of support.

Outdoor space Staff pour drinks for the children and put their coats on for them before going outside rather than allowing enough time to do these tasks themselves. ## Parent Reviews of Towcester Tots Day Nursery 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocLc0rBWI5o3PG5PRB5Xfa_xXLLSwmFu4h68WADkQowOHoKbDA=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Christine Frost 4 years ago My Grandson attended Towcester Tots until recently.
