The provision is good

Children are happy and keen to attend this lively and bilingual setting. They settle back in quickly following the seasonal break and are excited to see their friends.

Staff are extremely kind, caring and respond quickly to children's needs.

n Children make friends and play well together. They give each other cuddles and enjoy dancing in small groups. Staff help them to resolve disputes, such as how to share the toys and take turns. This supports children's personal, social and emotional development. n Staff know children well from the start. Each child's key person observes children closely to identify the progress they make and plan next steps to extend their development and learning. Staff share children's progress with parents and carers regularly via a digital app, along with suggestions for how to continue to support their children's learning at home. All children make good progress. n Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive good support.

n In general, staff use their interactions to support and extend children's learning well. For example, staff offer children chalk when they notice children are curious to make marks on the chalkboard with their wet hands.

However, this does not significantly impact on the good care that children receive. n Pre-school children are highly independent. For example, children confidently help themselves to craft materials to draw and cut out pictures of dragons. They learn to blow their own noses and wash their hands before meals. This prepares them well for starting school. n Children develop good communication and language skills. Staff engage children in back-and-forth conversations. Children show that they remember vocabulary in English and Spanish. For example, toddlers name the body parts as they make face collages. n There are strong partnerships with parents. Parents speak highly about staff's 'arms open' approach and the warmth with which they welcome the children.
