Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are bilingual, and they use children's home language to communicate and support their understanding better. This helps to support children who speak English as an additional language effectively. Staff provide interesting activities for children to enjoy and to keep them engaged. They provide a range of tools and craft materials for children to handle and make different designs, such as a Christmas tree and an angel. Children enjoy being creative and willingly explore with sensory and musical resources. They show an interest in role-play activities and learn to use their imaginations well. Children explore with money and understand that they need money to make a purchase. Staff support children to count, recognise numbers and practise their early writing skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop their personal skills well. They are clear about their own likes and dislikes, and they make staff aware of what they want to do next. Children enjoy small responsibilities as they learn to manage their self-care needs well and help to pack away resources. Children develop their physical skills effectively. They display good balance, mobility and coordination. Staff support children to develop good health. For example, they provide healthy food for children to eat and ensure they access regular outdoor physical play. Staff talk with children about the negative impact of bullying and how to report any bullying that they may experience. Staff support children to develop their confidence and self-esteem well. For example, they offer regular praise, encouragement and reassurance. Staff provide opportunities for children to celebrate and learn about people and cultures.
