p.1

The provision is good

Children are warmly welcomed by a friendly and nurturing staff team. Happily, they come straight into a well-organised, safe and homely environment. Children have many opportunities to freely explore the resources and the environment. They greet their friends as they begin to play, curiously exploring different objects, scooping oats and dressing up. Children have excellent relationships with staff. They enjoy engaging in and initiating conversations with staff as they eat their healthy snack and lunch, and use their imaginations in the home corner.

The provision is good

Children are excited and motivated to learn. Children are keen to explore the environment and independently put their coats on ready for outdoor play. Children feel valued as their achievements are praised and good behaviour is celebrated, as they confidently use sand timers to share resources with friends. They make the most of being outside and develop good gross motor skills. Children build resilience as they climb on the climbing apparatus and negotiate space as they kick balls to each other. Children develop wonderful bonds with their friends. They are able to share and take turns well. For instance, they work cooperatively and negotiate with each other as they decide how to join their structures together.

their listening skills and eagerly follow instructions. Children confidently find objects around the hall linking to a particular shape.

6 December 2022 learning opportunities. Occasionally, however, some staff do not know what children need to learn next to respond quickly to secure new learning when children show an interest in activities. n The special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) has a good knowledge of children and gives good support to staff to provide targeted plans for children. Staff work closely with parents and other professionals to ensure that children with SEND are well supported. n Staff share mathematical language with children during their play and learning. Children enjoy building enclosures with large blocks and using rulers to measure the sides of shapes as they draw. Staff ask them to compare sets of different- sized objects to see which has 'more' or 'less'. They discuss how long and wide the structures are, testing how to join them. As a result, children become confident to use mathematical language in their play.

n Partnership with parents and other professionals caring for children is strong. Parents speak highly of the pre-school and comment that the staff team is nurturing and approachable; therefore, children settle well and build strong bonds with them. Good communication ensures that parents know what their children can do and what they will be learning next.

Safeguarding

The provider implements robust recruitment and vetting procedures to ensure staff are suitable to work with children. The manager and designated safeguarding lead place a high focus on child protection. They ensure all staff keep up to date with current procedures, in line with the local safeguarding partnership. Staff know how to recognise possible signs of abuse and know what to do should they have a concern about a child or a member of staff. They have a good understanding of all safeguarding issues. This helps to protect children's welfare. Staff are vigilant and carry out regular risk assessments to keep children safe.
