p.1

The provision is good

Children settle in quickly and separate from their parents and carers with ease. Staff build strong relationships with their key children and know them well. This helps children feel safe and secure. Staff talk to children about what they have done at the weekend, and children confidently talk about spending time with their grandparents and eating strawberry ice creams. Younger children pretend to eat various different foods as they role play. They attempt to say words, such as 'grapes' and 'blueberries', and staff repeat these words back to them. Staff comment on babies' play using simple language. This helps to support children's early language development.

The provision is good

Outside, children enjoy a range of activities to promote their physical development. They persevere as they practise new skills. For example, staff support them to climb safely up and over a climbing frame and remind children to take turns. They provide babies with space to practise walking and help them to step up onto different levels. Staff remind children that they need to drink when it is hot, and they encourage them to take regular breaks. Children independently offer resources to their friends and share well. Staff praise children when they take turns with each other.

n The management team works together closely and is dedicated to supporting staff and continually improving the quality of care for children. Staff have regular supervision sessions where they can discuss matters relating to their roles and children, as well as training opportunities. They feel able to talk to the management team about any issues or concerns, at any time. Staff understand their roles and responsibilities and report they feel very well supported. n Staff know their key children well and regularly monitor the progress they make. They liaise with the special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) if they identify that a child has gaps in their learning. Timely referrals are made to external agencies, and children have individual support plans to help staff focus on specific targets. The SENCo works closely with parents and builds strong links with the local schools to help support children's transitions.

n The management team is clear about the curriculum intent and, overall, staff implement this well. For example, younger children are supported to develop their independence. Staff encourage them to take off their own shoes and get themselves ready for sleep time. However, some group activities are not always planned to fully support children's learning. This means some children do not fully benefit from opportunities to refine, develop and extend on their skills. n Children are confident communicators. For example, older children read stories to each other. They hold the book so that all children can see, and change the

Younger children engage in conversation with adults about the food they eat and whether the vegetables were picked from the garden. Staff ask children questions to help them remember how they look after the plants they are growing. n Staff support children's behaviour well. For example, they talk to children about how others might feel after minor conflicts. Staff help children to understand the consequences of the decisions they make. They encourage children to resolve any differences together. Children are beginning to respect each other's ideas and play well together. n Children have a cooked meal at lunchtime and are encouraged to use their knife and fork to cut up their own food. Staff support children to pour their own drinks and scrape their plates when they are finished. Children choose jobs they want

Children know what is expected of them and they engage well with adults and each other. n Partnerships with parents are good. Parents know who their child's key person is and understand what they are learning about. The management team organises specific times throughout the year to provide parents with an update on the progress their children are making. Parents are happy with the care their children receive.
