This provision meets requirements

Children behave well and are clear on the expectations of the setting.

This provision meets requirements

Children are able to choose from several activities, including football and dance. They enjoy working together with friends to practise a range of skills, such as balancing, coordination and moving to different rhythms. This means children are able to learn something new and feel a sense of pride and achievement. Children are included in the decision-making process and are supported to make a mark next to their chosen interest on a dry wipe board when they arrive for the day. This supports their independence and builds their self-esteem.

This fosters effective relationships that promote a child-centred approach. n Parents state how they are happy with the care their child receives from the setting. They comment how their children come home happy and are keen to return. Parents appreciate the time taken by staff to share information and provide feedback. This supports the consistent care children receive, both at home and in the setting. n Leaders have a very good overview of the setting and have worked hard to develop a team that deliver high-quality care to all children.
