who attend. This is good

Staff offer children a good range of play experiences inside and outside that complement their day at school effectively. Staff have good links with the schools children attend and regular meet with teachers to discuss children's needs. Staff provide a good range of role play activities, which promote children's social and emotional development. They enjoy these activities and make friends as they play. Children build on the skills that they are learning at school. For example, they use their mathematical skills when drawing and designing different shapes. Staff organise good opportunities outside in the fresh air. Children enjoy physical games, such as football and play games with bean bags. These games develop children's skills in teamwork. Children engage with small construction toys and enjoy building and fixing train sets, solving problems as they build.

p.3

good

Staff promote children's awareness of diversity well; they talk to children about the play resources that reflect positive images of others. Staff are good role models. Children behave well, know what staff expect of them and follow their instructions. Staff build positive relationships with the children, which supports children's confidence and well- being. Staff teach children about road safety when collecting them from school, which helps keep children safe. Staff promote good hygiene practices with children. For example, they remind children to wash their hands before meals and to wash up used cutlery and plates afterwards.

p.3

provision is good

The provider carries out regular supervisions with staff and supports them to help meet children's care needs well. Staff undertake robust risk assessment of the premises so that all hazards are minimised to keep children safe. The provider has robust recruitment procedures, which ensure staff are suitable to care for children. They carry out a detailed self-evaluation to identify areas to improve the provision for children. For example, since the last inspection the provider has met all recommendations. They now deploy staff well to ensure children receive good interactions with staff. For example, during mealtimes some staff sit with the children while others prepare activities so they are immediately available afterwards. In addition, the provider has introduced a sailing club and more resources are available.
