9 January 2020 n Staff say that their professional development is supported well. They talk about how they benefit from regular training and supervision. Staff regularly reflect on their own performance and use this effectively to identify how they would like to build on their skills and knowledge further. n Children are encouraged to carry out simple tasks. There are clear routines in place which support children in understanding, for example, that they need to wash their hands after activities and before eating. They all join in and help clear the tables after snack time, and they tidy away their bags and coats when they arrive at the setting. n Staff provide clear strategies to support children in understanding when they need to listen to instructions. Children respond well and, for instance, move calmly between activities. Staff support children in understanding the impact of their behaviour on others and help them to resolve minor conflicts quickly.
