Children are keen to enter the caring and inclusive learning environment. They are happy and confident learners. Children form secure relationships with staff and build positive friendships with their peers. This helps them to develop their emotional well-being and feel safe and valued. Staff are highly nurturing and enthusiastic, and they create a respectful environment.

The provision is good

Leaders have worked extremely hard since the last inspection. They have engaged with the local authority to access support and guidance to improve the quality of care and learning experiences for children. Staff deliver an ambitious and sequenced curriculum that fully supports children's learning and development. All children make good progress from their starting points in development.

p.2

The provision is good

Staff are highly reflective and know children well. They plan activities based on children's interests, and this supports children's engagement. For example, children develop their creative skills as they excitedly paint their hands to make handprints. They use their imaginations as they spend time 'cooking' in the role play area. Staff have high expectations of children's behaviour, which is very good. Children have a strong understanding of the daily routines. For example, they know they need to wash their hands and take their shoes off when they arrive back to the setting after their trip to the park.

13 August 2025 However, on some occasions, staff do not consistently extend children's learning during spontaneous conversations or when children make observations about their environment. This means they do not extend children's curiosity or thinking skills. n Partnerships with parents are a key strength. Staff encourage parents to be involved in their children's learning, such as by providing books to share at home from the lending library. Parents appreciate the detailed feedback from staff, which provides a good insight into their children's time at the setting. Staff keep parents well informed about their child's progress through a variety of methods, including daily handovers, an electronic app and parents' evenings. n Staff provide opportunities throughout the day for children to develop their independence. Children thoroughly enjoy doing things for themselves and for others. For example, children carefully serve their own food at lunchtime and

For example, children enjoy being the 'lunchtime' or 'water bottle' monitors. n Staff provide children with lots of opportunities to progress their physical development. For example, they support children to develop their gross motor skills as they run, climb and balance during their trip to the park. Children show great enthusiasm for spending time outside in the large and exciting outdoor space in the setting. For example, they eagerly head to the mud kitchen to explore. Staff provide weekly football sessions to help children to further develop their coordination and listening skills. n Leaders and staff are passionate and hard working. They are proud of the experiences they provide for all children to help them learn more about the world around them. For example, children have gained more knowledge about
