p.1

The provision is good

Staff provide a safe and welcoming environment for children. There is a positive atmosphere across the setting. Children separate happily and easily from their parents and carers. Parents share key information with staff about the youngest children and discuss their individual routines for the day ahead. Older children find their friends and quickly engage in play. Staff teach children to understand what makes them unique and to celebrate each other's differences. For example, children taste new food and use chopsticks when learning about Chinese New Year. Staff teach children to begin to understand their emotions and the impact they have on others. For example, younger children have simple wooden resources and older children use cushions with different emotions.

p.2

The provision is good

Staff have high expectations for every child. They promptly remind children of the rules in the setting when they have briefly forgotten. Younger children are highly inquisitive and staff respond well to them. For example, staff explain what they can see when they look at themselves in the mirror. Staff teach children how to assess risks for themselves. For example, older children wear high-visibility jackets and use risk assessments to check the outdoors is safe before children can use it.

resources are used to support children with speech and language delays. All children, including those who attract additional funding, are making progress. n Partnerships with parents are good. The manager gives parents an opportunity to feed back to the setting and takes their views into account. Parents are provided with an online system, so they can see where their child is in their learning and development. Parents state their children are happy attending the setting and they know the key person. Staff give parents information about online safety to help them to support their own child at home when accessing technology.

6 February 2020 n Overall, children display positive attitudes to learning. However, the routine of the day for older children does not allow them to become engrossed in their play. They are not always able to build on what they already know and lead their own learning. For example, children work together to build a plank, gather blocks and think how to lay the best path, when they are interrupted to do another activity. n Staff are highly responsive to the youngest children. They know how children learn and develop and are quick to engage them in activities that follow their interests and next steps. For example, children delight in splashing and pouring water in an activity set up for them, as the staff know the children like to play in water. Staff teach the youngest children how to become independent very well. However, this is not consistent for older children. For instance, children's food is served to them on a plate and children must ask an adult to go with them to use

the toilet. This does not support all children to prepare for the next stage of their learning.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The manager and staff are aware of their responsibilities to keep children safe. They know the signs and symptoms that may indicate a child is at risk of harm. This includes the wider aspects of safeguarding, including the 'Prevent' duty. The manager ensures that staff attend regular safeguarding training and checks their knowledge and understanding about what they have learned. For example, she uses questionnaires and scenarios to test their decision-making skills. Staff are aware of what they must inform the manager about that may affect their suitability to work with children.
