The provision is good

Children arrive happy and are keen to join in activities. They know morning routines well and show they feel safe as they hang up their belongings and put on their indoor shoes. Staff encourage children to express how they are feeling as they arrive, for example, by using an emotions display. Toddlers engage in small- world activities. They comment on their play as they push transport toys around and avoid obstacles. Staff talk to children attentively. They extend their learning by asking effective questions about what might happen next. Children play collaboratively together outdoors. They use water tubes to fill and empty containers. They develop their physical skills as they ride tricycles and kick balls into a net.

The provision is good

Older children thrive as they role play in the dentist surgery. They take turns as they join the waiting room, and build on real-life experiences as they pay for their check-ups. Staff teach children about making healthy food choices. They link this to discussions about looking after their teeth. Outdoors, children develop their independence as they embark on experiences such as cutting and peeling real vegetables. Staff incorporate early mathematical language into play. They discuss cutting pieces in 'half' and practise brushing in a 'circular' motion while using the outdoor toothbrushing station.

n Staff offer a curriculum that supports children to develop confidence and independence. Children demonstrate their skills as they dress themselves ready for the garden and toddlers pour themselves drinks at the water station. Key- person relationships are strong. Staff know where children are in their skills and are able to build on these individually. This helps children overall, to make good progress. n The curriculum builds on children's existing knowledge. It helps children to develop the essential skills they need for their future lives. For example, staff help children to learn new words, such as 'cavities', and talk about their own experiences at the dentist. Staff extended this further by supporting parents to register children at their local dentist. n Children recite their golden rules during circle time. They learn about sharing, and play alongside each other as they race around the garden on bicycles, and

They encourage children with any language concerns to attend external 'chatterbox' sessions. Staff then build on these language skills with children within the setting. n Staff encourage children to talk about how they are feeling.

n Parent partnerships are strong. They speak highly of the setting and the good information-sharing. They comment that their children 'can't wait to come back' after the weekend. Leaders offer parents opportunities to contribute to the curriculum, using initiatives such as a parent forum. Home-learning activities are shared through newsletters and a parent communication group, to support children's achievements. n Leaders have an ambitious vision for the setting. They spend time teaching children alongside staff, ensuring the curriculum is delivered consistently. They offer staff regular supervisions and well-being 'check ins'. They maintain good links with the local authority. This ensures all children are supported well.

Safeguarding

Leaders and staff have a good understanding of safeguarding procedures. This includes how to report concerns about a child or a member of staff. Staff have a good understanding of broader safeguarding concerns related to female genital mutilation, the 'Prevent' duty strategy and county lines. Leaders have a robust induction plan in place and use staff supervisions to check ongoing suitability. Regular risk assessments and checks are completed on the premises. This ensures that children continue to be kept safe.
