This provision meets requirements

Staff welcome children warmly on collection from the on-site school, or as they arrive. They support younger children with their transitions, who quickly settle with their key person. Staff encourage children to independently hang up their coats and bags, and choose what they would like to play with. Younger children self- serve their snacks, choosing fruit and vegetables from a selection on the table. They take pride in helping to clear the plates away when they have finished. Older children like to help with the washing up, supporting staff with cleaning and clearing up.

This provision meets requirements

Staff place a high emphasis on children's behaviour. They encourage children to work collaboratively together towards shared goals. Staff support children to work together, for example, to build a tower with large construction blocks. Children remember the rules to keep them safe, such as to not build the tower too high, in case it falls and hurts someone. Staff model positive interactions with all children and children take this on board in their interactions with each other. Children are respectful and polite in their conversations. They listen to the opinions and suggestions of others.

n Staff take into consideration children's opinions and ideas when planning activities. They provide opportunities for children to develop their interests and explore their favourite things, such as baking, building with blocks and being creative. This ensures that children are engaged in activities. n Providers implement and follow effective boundaries and routines which help children to know what is expected of them and what is happening next. Children know the expectations for their behaviour in the setting, such as talking nicely to each other and being respectful. They share and take turns, with older children modelling behaviour to the younger children. As such, all children behave well. n The providers plan a variety of activities to extend what children have been learning at school, particularly in relation to events and festivals. They focus on a broad calendar of events, while also exploring specific cultural events that
