need to do better?

n The manager has embedded an ambitious curriculum intent throughout the setting, and this is implemented well by staff. All interactions with children are skilful and promote children's curiosity and thinking. Staff have secure knowledge of children's development and interests. Staff have good awareness of links in children's learning and development. For example, children take part in music and movement daily and use gross motor movements to build muscles that will support pre-writing skills. n Children show consistent engagement in activities throughout the day. They concentrate well and are motivated to learn. Children choose what they would like to play with. For example, some children choose to play and build their own track, while others use their imaginations to build bunk beds with blocks. They

21 September 2022 talk animatedly about what they are doing and discuss among the group what bed they have at home. Staff support and extend their conversations with open- ended questioning. This allows children the time to reflect and think about how they want to answer. n Children's behaviour is exemplary. They have a very secure understanding as to why rules are in place and are highly confident in social situations. Younger children are in awe of the older children as they share and cooperate with each other consistently. For example, older children help the younger ones onto the bikes safely and say, 'There you go.' Staff show children high levels of respect and kindness and value their opinions and choices. Staff praise children highly for their kind behaviour. n Staff plan and adapt activities for all children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who speak English as an

additional language. For example, children are learning the colour blue, and the outcomes are adapted for the age and development stage of children. Managers ensure children have links with the wider community and enjoy walks and swimming every week to support children's water confidence. Staff teach children about other cultures to broaden their knowledge of the world. However, there is less emphasis on building children's secure understanding and appreciation of diversity. n Staff work closely with outside agencies to support children with SEND and their individual needs. Staff collaborate regularly to identify any gaps in children's learning to support early intervention, ensuring all children make good progress. Staff place an emphasis on supporting children in their transition to school. For example, children are provided with opportunities to begin to recognise their name and explore letters and sounds.

need to do better?

n The manager supports staff well and ensures staff have opportunities to develop and update their professional knowledge. For example, staff had access to online learning during COVID-19 to ensure they could support children on their return. Staff feel valued and committed to their ongoing development.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Staff demonstrate a secure understanding of their duty to protect children and report any concerns they may have about a child's well-being or a member of staff. The manager has good procedures for the safer recruitment of staff. The environment for children is safe and secure. For example, children climb safely, managing their own risks, up onto the slide and enjoy sliding down. The manager ensures that staff keep their safeguarding training up to date.
