p.1

The provision is good

Children arrive happy and ready to start their day. They are greeted by familiar, caring staff. They settle quickly and make choices about what they would like to play with. Children form warm, secure and trusting relationships. They are confident and thoroughly enjoy their time together with the adults and their friends. Children are curious and excited to explore the resources, and they show good levels of engagement. For example, when playing with water, they add sand and create their own beach. Children use syringes and skilfully suck up the water to release into beakers. Babies play with musical instruments. They bang the drums and shake the shakers with excitement. Staff sing familiar songs and nursery rhymes with them, using both English, Lithuanian and Russian.

The provision is good

Children are learning to manage their own risks. They climb on the climbing frame, balancing on each rung. They negotiate with their friends where to put their feet next. When they master the climb, they sit at the top celebrating their success. Children follow good hygiene procedures and are learning to be independent. They help themselves to water, wash their hands after they have played outside and before meals. They are excited and enthusiastic to be picked as the helper at lunchtime.

They communicate in children's home language and repeat the sentences back in English. Children develop their language skills quickly and are confident bilingual communicators. n Parents appreciate the care and time taken by staff to provide feedback using a range of methods, both verbally and online. Parents state that they are pleased with the progress their child has made, particularly how well they are developing their language and communication skills. n Staff provide engaging opportunities for children to practise their mark making and develop early writing skills.
