p.1

The provision is good

Children arrive happy and eager to start their days. They excitedly greet staff members and their friends. Staff have strong, warm bonds with children. They know children well and this helps them to meet each child's individual needs successfully. Pre-school children are inquisitive, confident and engaged. They listen attentively to staff and behave well. They relish story time. They show embedded learning and joy as they stomp around the room recreating the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Children chant 'fe, fi, fo, fum' and collapse in giggles with their peers.

The provision is good

Children particularly enjoy outdoor play, where they experience awe and wonder. Staff provide exciting resources and support children to play independently. Babies and toddlers are confident explorers. They manipulate see-saws with their peers, chanting and cheering together. They soak water into large sponges and marvel as they squeeze the water into new containers. The manager and staff have high expectations for every child. However, at times the curriculum is not focused enough to help children to meet all of the intended learning outcomes. Despite this, children enjoy their learning.

The provision is good

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, parents now drop their children off at the front door. This has had a positive impact on all children. Pre-school children, especially, have developed more independence, for example, by taking their own coats off and hanging them up.

n The manager has an ambitious intent for all children's learning. She recognises children's varying needs and is passionate about ensuring all children make good progress. Staff share this vision. However, at times, staff lose focus when delivering planned activities. This means that although children enjoy these activities, set learning goals are not always achieved. Despite this, children's learning and development continuously grows. n Children's communication and language skills are well supported. For instance, staff create quiet, welcoming spaces within rooms for children to relax. Children use these spaces to read stories, chat with their peers and look at thought- provoking photos. This has a particular impact in pre-school, where children show off their impressive conversational skills. This is helpful for their upcoming move to primary school. n The manager is passionate about supporting children's personal, social and

They talk animatedly with children about the food they are eating and their home lives. Children respond well to this. Babies and toddlers begin to develop new skills, such as feeding themselves. Pre-school children pour their own drinks and happily tuck into their nutritious dinners. Children recognise the importance of hygiene. They wash

their hands and talk about brushing their teeth. This helps to support children's personal development. n Staff feel valued in their roles. The manager works closely with staff to identify their strengths and areas for development. Staff access training and use this new knowledge to evolve their own practice successfully. Children benefit from this as staff begin to evaluate and improve. Staff well-being is a focus for the manager. She is determined to support staff and this helps staff to feel happy in their roles. n The manager has worked hard to drive improvements since the last inspection. She has strengthened practice with regards to risk assessment and children now flourish in the safe environment.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

The manager and her staff team have a firm understanding of their responsibilities. They know the procedures they must follow if they have concerns for the welfare of a child. They also recognise the correct route to follow should an allegation be made against another member of staff or the manager. The premises are safe and secure. No person can gain access to the setting without the permission of the manager or a member of staff. This helps to ensure children's safety. The majority of staff have obtained paediatric first-aid training. This helps to equip them to respond effectively should a child hurt themselves or become unwell.
