Children arrive happily and with enthusiasm. They are keen to interact with the staff caring for them. Children show a clear understanding of the daily routines. They choose from the different activities set out and quickly settle to play. For example, children enjoy building a train track together while others create pictures. Overall, activities meet children's needs well. Staff spend time engaging with children during their play and activities. For instance, they encourage ball games outside and they talk to children as they build with construction resources indoors.

For example, some children in a large group waited for help with an activity which was quite complicated. n Staff at key times remind children about the behaviour expected. For example, they remind children to walk across the hall when it is time to line up to go and wash their hands.
