Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Managers and staff do not fully understand their statutory responsibility to provide outdoor activities to all children on a daily basis. This does not significantly effect children because they are settled, learn well and enjoy taking part in physical activities. The manager ensures that all staff are suitable to work with children and staff understand how to keep children safe from harm. They recognise where children may be at risk from exposure to extreme views and behaviours. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Managers form ongoing improvement plans. Feedback from staff and parent training supports the provider's show continuous improvements. The provider supports staff with regular coaching and monitoring to improve their teaching skills. Children behave well. All staff complete mandatory training and attend additional training to support practice. The setting has sufficient resources, including construction

areas and physical play areas to offer stimulating indoor experiences.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are happy and motivated to learn. For example, babies show fascination in making musical sounds with kitchen utensils and they focus for long periods. Their faces show satisfaction as staff encourage them with praise. Staff support older children to prepare for starting school. For example, they talk to children about 'big school' and children enjoy visits from teachers who come to speak with them. Children explore different school uniforms inspired by their siblings who visit the setting. Staff support younger children, for example with helping them to use their small-muscle skills to pick up small objects.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Staff do not fully encourage children's well-being by enabling them to consistently engage in daily activities outdoors, as required. However, children do access a range of indoor experiences, for example, indoor play mats, construction play and climbing frames, to develop their physical skills. Children and staff talk about healthy eating. For example, older children independently choose their food and serve themselves at the table. Children and staff talk about healthy eating and what is on their plates. Children are encouraged to eat their vegetables and learn about healthy choices. Children follow self-care routines, for example, by washing their hands and managing their simple tasks. Staff encourage children to adopt good manners. For instance, children respond positively when their friends share toys.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those with special educational need and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress from their starting points. Older children enjoy adding their own choices of colour to their play dough recipes. Children are excited when they see paint colours mixed together and give their own interpretations of what their creations represent. Older children use their home languages to explore questions they have about adding new ingredients to their play dough mixes. Younger children enjoy playing with resources, such as cause and effect toys. They also enjoy sorting wooden blocks into slots until they finish the task.
