The provision is good

Children arrive happy in a safe and well-organised setting. They quickly become engaged in a wide variety of learning opportunities on offer. Children make good progress from their starting points and settle with the support of caring staff. Babies show excitement and joy as children arrive into the room, showing the positive relationship that has been developed between all children and staff. Staff know children well and use children's interests to further support their development. Children show enjoyment in their learning as they engage in imaginative play. For example, they use play dough to make cakes. They then use resources to shape and mould the play dough, putting it in the pretend oven to cook.

The provision is good

Children behave well and follow the rules and routines of the setting. This prepares them for their future move to school. Older children show a good understanding of the daily routines as they wash their hands independently before sitting down for their meals. Children show a good awareness of the importance of keeping healthy as they talk about the germs on their hands before they wash them off. Younger children feed themselves during lunchtime, further promoting their independence. Staff make mealtimes sociable occasions where they sit together and talk about being healthy and what foods are good for us.

24 November 2022 n Parent partnership is clearly a strength of the setting. Parents are actively included in their children's time at the setting from the very beginning. Effective settling-in procedures help children settle into their new environment. Staff continue to work closely with parents to share information with them so they can support children's learning at home. n Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour.

This helps to promote children's confidence and self-esteem. n Children are developing their independence skills. Older children confidently put on their coats before going outside.

However, staff could focus more on the intent of the activities, to support children to make even better progress in their learning. n Children's communication and language skills are developing well. Children show enjoyment as they dance and sing along to nursery rhymes, using musical instruments to make sounds. Children tell staff what songs they would like to sing next, and staff follow the interests of the children. Children use puppets and correctly choose the puppet that matches with the song they sing. n Children's physical development is promoted well. Children are encouraged to be physically active, indoors and outdoors. Older children learn to negotiate space as they race around the garden on ride-on toys. Younger children confidently
