This provision meets requirements

All children arrive at this setting happily. They are familiar with the daily routines. As such, they know the process to sign in, put their belongings away and find something to play with. For example, children take themselves to the mats and cushions, where they sit chatting comfortably with their friends, build towers from the construction toys and imaginatively care for the dolls. Others choose to take part in the enjoyable physical or art and craft activities that staff plan, which helps them to learn and practise new skills. Staff recognise when the younger children might need a rest, so they offer to read them a book. These children settle down contentedly and listen to the story with interest.

n Leaders and staff know the procedures to follow in the event of a safeguarding concern about a child or member of staff, including how to escalate concerns to other agencies. n Leaders and staff work well with the school to exchange important information about the children. This helps them to provide consistency in the children's experiences and to meet the children's individual needs. n Children enjoy their time at the setting and play happily with their friends and staff. At times, it gets very noisy due to the number of different activities taking place within the one room.

Leaders have plans to address this issue. n Parents speak highly about the setting and of the positive relationships that their children form with the staff. They comment that their children love attending, and they speak fondly about their experiences and the other children and staff

For example, children persevere at threading pasta onto string to make a necklace, trying again patiently when the pasta falls off. Once they have succeeded, they proudly show their finished necklaces to each of the staff, who praise them enthusiastically. n Children learn to manage their self-care tasks independently.

11 January 2024 n Staff remind children to use good manners and support them to play together cooperatively. Children form lovely friendships and join in with each other's games.
