This provision meets requirements

Children really enjoy their time at this provision. They are warmly greeted by staff and this helps children to settle in quickly. Children are curious, inquisitive and eagerly ask staff questions about the world around them. Staff encourage this further as they explore the extensive grounds and find different natural objects and ponder what they might be.

This provision meets requirements

Staff have clear expectations for children's behaviour which helps children have a good understanding of the rules and boundaries of the provision. Children follow these well. For example, they know to leave an area safe for others before moving to the next activity, such as filling in the hole they have been digging in the garden so that others do not trip. Children play cooperatively with each other and staff support them as they build friendships.

This provision meets requirements

Staff and children have strong bonds which helps children feel safe and secure. Children know that staff will look out for them and trust staff with their most prized possessions, such as the 'treasure' they find out in the garden. Staff praise and encourage each child regularly and children are keen to share their thoughts, feelings and ideas with them.

n Staff are good role models for children and children demonstrate positive behaviour. For example, they listen attentively and follow instructions well. Staff encourage children to be polite and well mannered. For example, children confidently use 'please' and 'thank you' as they interact with their peers and staff. n Staff develop children's understanding of healthier eating choices through regular discussions. For example, during lunch, children learn about foods that are healthier for them and the importance of having a balance of foods in their lunch boxes. Children keenly share their knowledge about healthy eating with staff and visitors. n Staff talk passionately about the progress children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have made while attending the provision. They ensure that children with SEND are supported well and that activities are tailored to meet their needs.

For example staff encourage children to wash their hands independently after being in the garden. However, on occasion, staff complete simple tasks for older children, such as opening food packets at lunch time instead of encouraging them to try first. n Overall, the daily routine is structured well and staff support children to smoothly transition between activities. However, on occasion, some routines and transitions are not organised as smoothly. For example, during mealtimes some children have to wait for long periods. This impacts on their behaviour and they start to become disengaged and restless. n There are strong partnerships between parents and staff. Parents speak highly of the provision and the staff in particular. They comment on the good levels of

Parents feel that staff really know and understand their children. n Leaders provide staff with good levels of support, both for their well-being and their professional development. They take part in supervision meetings and staff comment positively on the support they receive from leaders.
