p.1

The provision is good

Children are happy and enjoy their time at this nurturing and inclusive setting. They benefit from the care of staff, who know them well and provide good levels of support for their learning and development. Children have many opportunities to play and learn, and they ask for help when they need it. Adults swiftly give reassurance and support children to manage their emotions, take turns and share.

p.2

The provision is good

Children behave well and respond to the high expectations that staff have for them. The setting has clear routines. Children know and follow these systems. Even the very youngest children learn to sit, eat and play together safely. For example, children show consideration to each other in their play, making 'vegetable soup' for their friends. They talk about the recipe and write shopping lists for extra carrots so there is enough for everyone. There is a strong culture of welcoming and respecting all.

p.2

The provision is good

Children who need extra help, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are effectively given resources that enable them to become independent and curious learners. Parents and carers are highly positive about how staff in the setting help their children to feel secure and valued. As a result, the atmosphere around the setting is joyful and calm.

n Staff prioritise language development and a love of books. Children listen to stories and join in with songs enthusiastically, copying actions and repeating words. Children find quiet areas to act out stories they have heard and, with the help of adults, access books of interest to them. As a result, children, including those with SEND, gain confidence in communicating and gaining new knowledge. n Children are kind, friendly and behave well. Routines for the youngest children, such as sitting in groups, are quickly established when they join the setting. Staff help children to make positive choices and listen to instructions. As a result, children know boundaries and show respect to each other and adults. n The setting promotes children's good health. For example, staff help children to learn about the importance of washing their hands before they eat and of making healthy choices for meals and snacks. Staff sit and chat with children as

they eat, providing them with positive role models for social skills and instilling good manners. n Staff do not always recognise opportunities to promote learning outdoors. For instance, they set out obstacle courses for children to access in the garden but do not always consider how to engage the children in the setting-up activity. This does not consistently promote and extend children's learning outdoors.

15 October 2024 n The staff work together effectively to provide good levels of care for the children. The provider is aware of staff's strengths and aspects of their professionalism that can be developed further. However, not all staff are made aware of the precise knowledge and skills they need to develop their practice further. n Parents appreciate the information that staff share with them about their children's learning. There are play-and-stay sessions for carers when their child first starts at the setting. These initiatives help parents to be a part of their child's learning journey and give them ideas on how to continue their children's learning at home. n Support for children with SEND is good. Staff accurately identify aspects of children's development where they need additional help. They gather valuable information from parents and work effectively with other professionals involved in the children's development to implement targeted support. This ensures that
