n Staff know children well and understand their interests. The weekly plans build on what children know and what they need to learn next. Staff speak with children about the types of activities they enjoy so they can include this in their planning. n Older children are good role models for younger children. When lining up to wash their hands, younger children are always at the front. Older children share their knowledge with others. For example, those who understand the rules of chess teach younger children using a large chess mat and pieces. n Staff continue to develop children's language and communication skills through modelling new vocabulary for them. If children are unsure of the name of an object, for example a dentist's drill, they will ask staff. Once they know, they share this knowledge with others and use it within their play. n Managers at the setting support the professional development of staff. Staff are

23 February 2022 n Teaching children about the diversity of the community they live in is a strength of the setting. The setting has collected artefacts from around the world. Many of these have been brought back by parents when they go on holiday or to visit family. They show different cultural traditions, which are shared with the children. Cultural events are celebrated. For Black History Month, parents were invited into the setting to enjoy food from different cultures, and see work displaying what children had been learning. During the Winter Olympics, children made their own Olympic rings and discussed the different sports. Children have also recently celebrated the Queen's Jubilee with a party where they sang the national anthem. n Children are encouraged to be independent. When they come into the setting, they hang up their own coats and bags. Staff encourage children to try first before stepping in to help, building on children's self-care skills.
