There are robust recruitment procedures to ensure children are safe and cared for by suitable adults. Staff are vigilant about children's welfare at all times. For example, a buddy system is in place to help new children become familiar with their new surroundings, and daily risk assessments are undertaken. Relevant documentation required for the safe and effective management of the setting is well maintained to support children's well-being. Staff work well as a team, and they have a good understanding of the roles to support children's care and learning. Staff receive ongoing support through supervision, appraisals and training to support their professional development.

Children learn about their own cultures and beliefs, and those of others, to support their understanding of similarities and differences. For example, children have access to a good range of resources that depicts positive images. Children develop good language and communication skills. For example, staff use effective questioning techniques while children take part in activities to extend their vocabulary.
