p.1

The provision is good

Children are highly curious learners. They confidently move around the well- planned areas in the setting. Children easily make decisions about what they want to explore and how they want to use the resources. For example, they make stepping stones to count and carry sticks from one area to another. Children are very successfully engaged in their learning. Staff at all levels have very high expectations for all children. They regularly review and change resources to link in with what children need to learn next. For example, staff provide crayons for babies to see how they hold a pencil.

The provision is good

The managers have developed strong links in the local community, such as with a local care home. Children visit each week and learn about the importance of building relationships with others. This is especially beneficial for those children who live far distances away from their extended family, to help them develop bonds with older people. Children are happy and safe. They clearly have very strong bonds with familiar staff, who they confidently approach when they feel upset or worried. Overall, children behave very well. They share resources and will comfort each other. Older children are starting to learn how to work together to achieve an outcome and they readily talk about their ideas.

n The managers and staff have implemented the curiosity approach, which provides lots of natural resources and pieces for children to explore. Staff very competently extend children's learning. They ask questions and pose problems for children to work out how they can solve these. For example, staff encourage children to think about how they can carry resources with lots of pieces outside together. n Children are provided with a high-quality education that helps them make good progress. They gain high levels of knowledge and skills across all areas of learning. Regular sessions to the forest school and beach school give children who learn best outside a wealth of opportunities to explore the natural environment. Staff find that this is of significant benefit to children who are naturally quieter. They comment that it encourages their confidence with language and promotes their communication skills. n Staff are highly valued at the setting. Their views and opinions are listened to by

managers at all levels. Staff are involved in regular training to update their skills and knowledge, which benefits the children's welfare and learning. Leaders at all levels competently monitor how well the setting is providing a good, ambitious curriculum for each child. n Parents are highly complimentary about the care that their children receive, and talk very proudly about the staff who care for them. There are ample

21 November 2019 opportunities for parents to be involved in their children's learning, and staff continually update them on what their children know and can do. n Older children are captivated as staff tell them stories. They confidently join in by telling staff what will happen next and use their own ideas about what the 'Big Bad Wolf' will do. Older children love playing 'What's the time, Mr Wolf?', as they shriek with excitement when they chase staff around the garden path. n Younger children happily join in with familiar action rhymes before lunch. Staff respect their ideas as children choose which songs to sing. However, a lack of organisation at lunchtime in the toddler room results in children becoming bored and distracted. Some children find it hard to manage their behaviour without support. n Children easily take care of their own personal needs. For example, even younger children come in from the garden and take off their coats by

themselves. n Planned activities provide a range of opportunities for children to learn about people who are different from themselves. Visitors come into the setting and show children how to dress in saris. However, there are less opportunities for children to explore diversity in their everyday play. n Leaders and managers have worked hard since the last inspection to develop good relationships with all other settings that children attend. This helps to extend and continue children's learning. Well-thought-out action plans ensure that managers and staff are continually improving the already good practice. n Consideration is given to how children can learn to take care of the environment. For example, children are taught about the importance of recycling.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Staff show a good awareness of what they need to do if they have a concern about a child. They know how to report any concerns about any adults working with children. Staff take part in regular safeguarding training to ensure that they are competent and their knowledge is updated. Regular checks on the premises and equipment are completed by staff. This helps to make sure that the children and the environment are safe, and any issues during the day are dealt with swiftly.
