The provision is good

Staff provide children with a very safe and caring learning environment. There is an effective key-person system in place. Children have positive relationships with all staff. They settle immediately. Staff provide support to children that are quiet. They offer them reassurance and encouragement to engage in activities. Staff provide safe spaces where children spend time with staff expressing their feelings. Children are extremely happy and content. Staff role model good behaviour. They listen to children and respect their views, and children copy this behaviour. From a young age, children share resources. They go and fetch resources so their friends can join in activities with them. Children tidy up before moving on to another activity. Their behaviour is good.

p.2

The provision is good

Staff implement a balanced curriculum. Their interactions with children are of a high quality. Staff are skilled in engaging in children's play and further developing their communication and language. For example, when children play in water with dinosaurs, staff teach children about what dinosaurs eat and the noises they make. They talk about the different sizes. Staff use large expressive body movements and signs, modelling how dinosaurs move. Children copy and stomp. This enhances children's early language skills. Children learn rich new language, such as 'T-rex', 'barosaurus' and 'raptor'.

n Overall, staff sequence children's learning. For example, they encourage babies to move from bottles to beakers. Older children hang up their coats and take their shoes off. However, staff do not support older children to independently access drinks. At mealtimes, they support children to pour a drink but the water jugs are too large and heavy for children to independently use. Staff do not always the mirror skills which children need for school, such as how to use cutlery. This limits children's independence and opportunities to develop the skills they need to learn for their move on to school. n Staff provide children with exciting opportunities to develop their large and small muscles. They use scoops to transfer foam into containers. Babies learn to balance on ride ons. Older children develop skills to use pedals on bicycles. Children play with balls and bean bags. Staff challenge children by placing a

bucket for them to aim and thrown the bean bags in. Children climb a wooden structure and learn about risk. They help their friends to get to the top by creating steps using large tyres. Children are deeply engaged. n Staff support children to gain an understanding of mathematics. Staff encourage babies to explore shape sorters. They learn about shape, colours and develop problem-solving skills. Children thread cubes onto pipe cleaners, counting as they do so. They excitedly sing songs to embed early numbers. Older children
