p.1

The provision is good

Children settle quickly and feel secure in this inclusive and welcoming pre-school. They have formed warm and trusting bonds with the caring staff, who offer reassurance if children feel unsettled. Children are confident and independent learners, and swiftly become immersed in their play and learning. They collaborate well with their peers and staff. For example, children work well together to dig up vegetables and discuss what the vegetables are.

p.2

The provision is good

Staff have high expectations of children and are positive role models. They speak calmly and gently to children. This helps children to have positive attitudes. Staff manage children's behaviour well. They praise them for their good behaviour, for example, when children are being kind or using good manners. Children learn how to work as a team, share resources and take turns.

p.2

The provision is good

Staff engage in meaningful conversations with children and listen carefully to what they say. They use their knowledge of what children know and can do to plan a selection of well-organised activities across the curriculum. Children's interests and learning needs are incorporated into activities. Older children practise their independence skills in preparation for school. For example, they use real clothes in the role-play area to practise getting changed and try different types of fastenings.

need to do better?

n Children learn to manage their self-care needs on their own. For instance, they use the toilet themselves, and wash and dry their hands. Children help with small tasks, such as washing their own plates and cups after snack time. This helps them to gain a sense of responsibility. n Parents talk very highly of the pre-school. For example, parents feel that staff are welcoming and know their children well. They comment that their children make good progress, and have increased their independence and confidence. Parents state that staff communicate well with them. They particularly like the online platform, which provides information on the pre-school's activities and ideas to extend children's learning at home. Parents feel involved in their children's learning. n The manager evaluates the ongoing performance of the pre-school. Staff feel that they receive good support and are given meaningful professional

This has a positive impact on children's confidence and emotional well-being. n Staff plan activities which allow children to take the lead in their own learning. During song time, children adapt well known songs and rhymes. At story time, children confidently suggest what might happen next in the story. Children understand that their opinions are important. n Children's numeracy skills are well supported across the pre-school. For instance, children roll dice, count the dots and place a beanbag on the correct number. This assists children in learning early mathematical language. n Children enjoy the time they spend outdoors. Staff plan a range of exciting activities to promote children's natural curiosity and eagerness to learn. For example, children delight in planting seeds and discussing what they will grow into. Children become keen and motivated learners, playing alongside

enthusiastic staff. n Children take regular trips into their local environment. They visit local shops and the library. Children enjoy 'hiding' books in their community for other children to find and read. This helps children to develop children's love of literacy. n Children express themselves confidently because staff focus on communication and language throughout the pre-school. When children need additional support, staff work effectively with other professionals and use guidance to develop children's vocabulary. However, occasionally staff repeat children's incorrect pronunciation of words, for example 'horsey'. This means that children do not hear and learn to use the correct pronunciation of words.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The manager ensures that all staff receive regular training and updates about child protection and safeguarding issues. Staff confidently discuss a wide range of safeguarding issues, such as children being exposed to extremist views or female genital mutilation. They know how to report any concerns they may have about any children or the adults they encounter. The manager has robust recruitment procedures in place to ensure that all staff are, and continue to be, suitable to work with children. Staff attend paediatric first-aid training to help them respond quickly to an emergency.
