p.1

The provision is good

Children show positive relationships with staff. In the baby room, children go to staff for cuddles when they need comfort. Children in the toddler room smile when they hide behind staff and play peekaboo with them. Children are helpful and show that they enjoy the responsibility of completing tasks. For example, when staff ask them to tidy away toys, children in the pre-school room get a dustpan and brush and begin to sweep lentils off the floor. When staff begin to help them, children thank staff for helping. Children in the toddler room are encouraged to have a positive attitude to their learning. When they build a tower using plastic bricks and it falls down, staff encourage them to try again. Children persevere and receive praise when they build again, helping to raise their self-esteem.

The provision is good

Children have access to a range of age-appropriate books to support their learning. In the baby room, staff help children to develop their senses when they ask them to touch different textures in books. Children in the toddler room sit well to listen to staff read stories. They point to images they see on the pages, helping them to follow the story. Pre-school children are asked questions about the book and learn what an author and an illustrator do.

n Staff support children's communication skills well, including those who speak English as an additional language. For instance, in the baby room, staff sing nursery rhymes to support children's early speaking skills. Staff working with the pre-school children ask them a range of questions to encourage them to think and share their knowledge. This includes staff asking them how they are going to release toys that are frozen in ice. Children reply that they are going to hammer the ice. n Additional funding that some children receive is used effectively to meet their individual needs. This includes purchasing craft resources, such as brushes and play dough, to support them to develop the muscles in their hands. n Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well. Staff work with other professionals to identify targets to implement to help children progress. This includes helping children to hear the initial sounds of

words to support their speaking skills. n Staff attend supervision and appraisal meetings with the management team to help reflect on their practice. Some staff attend training that helps to develop their knowledge of providing children in the baby room with more independent choices in their play. This includes offering resources in baskets to enable children to choose what they want to play with. n Staff attend training courses to develop their knowledge of how to promote children's oral health. They introduce activities for children to learn how to clean

When new children start, they receive a toothbrush, toothpaste and sand timer to take home to encourage parents to support them with cleaning their teeth. n Staff supervise children when they research information on the internet to follow their interests, such as to learn about spiders and dinosaurs. This helps to promote children's safety. However, staff have not developed their knowledge of how to help older children to identify potential risks and what to do when they use the internet at home. n Staff support children to behave positively. For example, in the baby room, staff model how to use 'kind hands' and share for children to copy. In the pre-school room, staff help children to find solutions to problems, such as to take it in turns to sit on a pumpkin when children want to sit on it at the same time. n Staff gather information from parents when children first start to find out their

child's abilities. They use this information, along with their observations and assessments of children's learning, to help identify what they need to learn next. However, this information is not always shared fully across the staff team. At times, during children's play, other staff do not recognise how best to help some children with their learning. Therefore, sometimes, children do not make the progress they are capable of.
