The provision is good

Children are welcomed into this nurturing setting and settle quickly. They develop attachments to staff and build secure bonds. Children look for staff for comfort and reassurance. Staff focus on children's strengths and achievements. They create a positive environment, where all are celebrated. Children are proud when they do something well and staff value, praise and recognise this by adding the special moment to the 'wow wall'.

The provision is good

Children benefit from an embedded routine, and they know what is happening next. They enjoy special groups times, where they sing 'hello' songs and learn each other's names. They are given opportunities to make choices about the songs they would like to sing and are building a lovely repertoire. By the time they are in pre- school, children have grown in confidence, they announce their song to the group and sing and join in enthusiastically.

However, some staff do not use open-ended questioning or focus on the learning, meaning it is not always extended and some opportunities are missed. n Children behave well and treat each other with respect as they use their 'kind hands'. Staff support behaviour by explaining and helping children to solve problems. Children listen to each other and have lovely manners.
