n Leaders have successfully met all actions raised at the last inspection. They have updated and implemented secure procedures regarding the use of internet enabled devices and mobile phones. This ensures safeguarding procedures are effective, and staff understand their responsibilities to promote children's online safety. n Staff have improved the curriculum to enhance children's understanding of the world. For example, children participate in local outings that help them learn about the community in which they live. Staff explain they talk to children about the things they see and sounds they hear such as different types of transport, including a horse. These outings enable children to learn through real-life experiences. n Leaders have created more opportunities for children to gain daily fresh air and enhance their physical skills in the new outside play area.

They use this information to plan well-sequenced activities that reflect children's learning needs and interests across all areas of learning. Staff complete the progress check when children are aged two and include parents' and children's views. Managers have new arrangements in place to seek parents' views further so that they can use this information to tailor their service more precisely. n Staff show a clear understanding of promoting children's good health. For example, children learn about healthy eating and good oral health. Staff encourage children's personal development and self-care skills, including toilet training. This helps prepare children to move on to the next stage of their learning, including school.

18 July 2025 There were no children in the early years age range present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no early years children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
