The provision is good

Children flourish at this friendly setting. Staff know children well and support them to feel safe and secure. Children arrive to warm greetings, cuddles and smiles from staff. Staff encourage and support children's independence through daily routines, such as serving their own food at mealtimes. Children grow in their confidence.

p.2

The provision is good

Leaders and staff know children well and support them to build on what they know and can do in a sequenced way. For instance, when some babies squeeze their food as they eat with their fingers, staff gently encourage them to try to scoop their food with spoons. All children benefit from a learning programme that helps them to gain the skills and knowledge they need for their next steps in education.

The provision is good

Leaders work efficiently in partnership with outside agencies and parents and carers to help all children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive good support. This has a positive impact on the quality of education that all children receive. Leaders and staff promote children's positive behaviour and support their individual needs. Staff explain to children how to play kindly and support children to socialise with each other. Children share resources and invite their peers to join their play. This helps children to learn how to be kind, create relationships and play respectfully.

n Staff engage children in playful and fun experiences. For example, in the outside area, they encourage children to push soil and sand through sieves as they express themselves in the mud kitchen. Some children climb the ladder to the slide. When children make dough, staff encourage them to mix, press and shape it. These experiences that staff plan for children's physical development promote their small and large muscle development well. n Staff share familiar rhymes, songs and stories with children. They encourage them to join in with actions and repetitive language. Staff teach Makaton throughout the setting to support children's language and communication even further. Children smile as they show how they use Makaton to communicate. Children demonstrate their enjoyment as they learn. n Staff are respectful and nurturing to all children and their interactions are warm. For example, during personal care routines, such as nappy changes, staff talk to

young children, who respond with happy babbling. However, on occasion, staff do not plan all group activities effectively to ensure that the oldest children participate and share their ideas well. n Overall, children receive good levels of support and attention. Staff motivate children and encourage them to listen to instructions in a familiar fun experience. However, at other times, staff deployment does not always help

For example, during some group activities, there are not enough staff deployed to enable children to embed the learning further. n Children show good levels of developing independence. Older children dress themselves to go outdoors and wash their own hands. Children calmly wait their turn and choose responsibilities, such as setting tables and taking on gardening jobs outdoors. Children show that they are proud of themselves, and this supports their emotional health. n Staff organise experiences to help children to learn about the lives of others in their local community. They take part in first-hand experiences, such as trips to local parks, the dockyard and to buy resources from the local shops. Staff use these experiences to help children to develop an understanding of the diverse world in which they live. n Staff adhere to children's dietary needs and parents' preferences. There are

They have systems in place to provide training and support to help staff and extend on their existing skills and knowledge. Leaders follow a comprehensive recruitment and induction process to support new staff. n Parents speak highly about the setting. They mention the bonds their children form with their key persons, other staff and leaders. Parents enjoy the outdoor trips in the community that their children have access to.
