Children are excited and eager to enter this setting. They look round for their friends to start their play and seek out members of staff to tell them about their day. Staff give children a very warm welcome and give reassurance to children who have recently started at the setting. The atmosphere bubbles with excited voices. Staff nurture children's needs very well and give children lots of attention to help them feel settled and secure.

Staff are responsive to children's needs. Staff ask children what they would like to play and which activities they would like to explore. Activities support children's interests and natural curiosities. For example, at the craft table, staff help children to make a wide range of items including a meteor and a party hat. Children are engaged in play and learning. They are active learners and are engrossed in activities.

This provision meets requirements

Staff are excellent role models. They encourage children to 'have a go' and to keep trying if they find something challenging. Children show they are independent and mature. They initiate their own play and help one another without instruction from staff. Children listen carefully to adults, consider each other's needs and show everyone respect. Children's behaviour is very good.

Parents share that 'staff are a godsend' and 'they really go over and above'. These partnerships help to provide children with a consistency of care. n Partnerships with other professionals are well established. Staff work very closely with staff from the on-site school. They gain feedback from teachers on the kind of day that children have had or strategies that have been used in the classroom. Staff use these same strategies with children in the setting. This means that children gain a consistent approach from all their carers throughout the day. n Staff work extremely well as a team and are consistently supported in their roles. They attend training, share ideas and work together. Staff really value the support that leaders give them and share that they 'wouldn't want to work

They attend a range of meetings with professionals from education, health, the police service and the local neighbourhood.
