Children are enthusiastic and active learners. Babies move around low-level furniture. They are excited to look at themselves in mirrors and make facial expressions. Toddlers enjoy looking at books and being read to by staff. They sing familiar songs, which helps them to develop their language skills. Older children enjoy playing in the setting's home corner, they enjoy sorting different vegetables and fruits by colour and size. They develop using language such as 'more' and 'less' and are beginning to count and use numbers correctly.

Children learn to speak respectfully to each other, take turns and be kind to their friends. Staff interact warmly during care routines, such as nappy changes and washing hands.

n Staff successfully teach children about making healthy choices and leading healthy lifestyles. They ensure children wash their hands regularly, learn how to keep their teeth clean and have daily physical exercise. Children look forward to eating the healthy snacks and nutritious home cooked meals. n Children confidently develop their independence and self-care skills. They independently select toys they want to play with and take the lead in this. Staff teach children how to use cutlery safely at mealtimes and explain why it is important to cover their mouths when coughing. However, routines such as lunchtime are not as well managed as other routines in the setting, children can spend a long time waiting and children's independence skills are not always fully promoted by all staff. n Staff observe and monitor children's progress. They provide exciting experiences that children engage with and enjoy. All children are making good progress

12 January 2023 n Managers and leaders support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language well. They work with parents and other professionals and use strategies recommended for them to support these children. This ensures that every child makes good progress. n Children are motivated and curious to learn. They learn to manage their emotions by talking and staff reassure children it is acceptable to be happy or sad. Children use self-regulation tools, such as books and sensory toys, to help them manage their emotions. This results in all children being confident with good levels of self-esteem. n Leaders understand what areas they want to improve to ensure all children achieve to the highest levels.
