p.1

The provision is good

Staff build meaningful bonds with children and families. This begins from children's settling-in period, which staff tailor to meet children's individual needs. Children start the setting feeling happy and ready to be part of the setting's life. Staff provide a varied curriculum filled with interesting activities and experiences that children are eager to explore. Staff inspire children's creativity. For instance, children enthusiastically explore the sand and large model dinosaurs. They describe what the dinosaurs are doing and pretend to feed them. Staff reinforce what children say and help them to know the names of the different dinosaurs.

p.2

The provision is good

Staff plan several opportunities for children to explore a variety of materials to develop their fine motor skills. For example, children learn about words for volume and capacity when they focus on carefully pouring lentils, cornflour and water into containers of various sizes. Staff use words such as 'full', 'empty' and 'half way'. Children are motivated to learn and make good progress in their development. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported effectively. The manager and staff work effectively with parents and professionals involved in the children's care and learning to fully support children to make good progress from their starting points.

p.2

The provision is good

Children's behaviour is good. Staff are calm and consistent in their approach to managing children's behaviour. They positively nurture children's confidence and self-esteem with lots of praise.

n Staff know their key children well. They plan activities to meet their individual learning needs. Children with SEND are supported well. Staff use their observations of children involved in play to identify possible gaps in learning. Children who speak English as an additional language are supported effectively. Staff gather key words from parents and learn home words and phrases to help children during their time in the setting. n Children have ample opportunities throughout the year to learn about countries, traditions and events different to their own. Staff have introduced Eid, Chinese New Year, Christmas and Diwali to children as they take part in a range of creative activities. Children also explore positive cultural images through stories and resources. They learn to value each other's differences and similarities. n Staff are proactive in promoting children's love of books in fun ways. Children sit

They use descriptive language and narrate children's play. This helps to give meaning to what children are doing and ensures they hear a wide variety

For instance, staff explain what 'fossils', 'herbivores' and 'carnivores' are when reading a book on dinosaurs. n Parents provide snacks and packed lunches for their children. The snacks provided are well balanced and meet children's special dietary needs. However, staff do not consistently extend children's understanding of the value of eating a healthy diet and the benefits it has on their bodies. n Children access a broad range of outdoor resources, including water trays, a large sandpit and large equipment for climbing on. They develop their balance and coordination, strengthen their large motor skills and gain spatial awareness. There are a range of opportunities for children to access mark-making materials independently. This enhances children's ability to practise their emerging writing

skills. n The manager and staff have made significant improvements since the last inspection. Effective systems are in place for staff supervision sessions, and there are effective policies and procedures for keeping children safe. The manager implements a number of strategies to promote staff's ongoing professional development. For example, staff have regular supervision sessions and attend meetings. However, the management team does not focus staff's training opportunities sharply enough to further improve and raise the quality of education to the highest level. n Parents speak highly of the setting and value the support they and their children receive. They are kept well informed about their children's learning through daily discussions and written records of learning. Parents describe how staff create a 'very welcoming atmosphere'. They are pleased with their children's progress. Parents state that 'staff genuinely care about the children'.
