p.1

The provision requires improvement

Children are happy and content in the setting. They show positive relationships with staff and are happy to wave goodbye to their parents as they arrive. Staff support children's care and well-being well and are attentive to their individual needs. They recognise when babies are tired and rock and soothe them and gently lay them down to sleep. Toddlers and older children seek out cuddles and reassurance by staff when needed.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

The provider and staff know what it is they want children to learn. They offer a range of activities that they know children will enjoy. However, for some children some activities are not planned well enough to meet their learning needs. Additionally, some staff's interactions with children are not purposeful and do not always help children to focus and engage in their learning.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

All children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are supported by staff to develop good physical skills. Staff give clear instructions to help older children learn how to balance. Children listen to staff and hold out their arms when they move over the obstacle course. Babies learn how to use play equipment safely. Staff congratulate them as they climb independently on the small climbing frame and scoot down the slide. Forest school sessions are offered to older children to develop their knowledge of the world. Staff teach children how to move safely around the firepit. Children learn how insects live and tell their friends what slugs like to eat and why they live in the dark.

n Staff attend supervision meetings and are offered training to help support their ongoing professional development. However, despite the provider being aware of inconsistencies in the quality of teaching they have not ensured these arrangements are targeted well enough to ensure that all staff are supported effectively. This results in some staff lacking the skills they need to extend children's learning. n Overall, the staff know the children well and understand what it is they need to learn next. However, they do not consistently use this knowledge to plan purposeful experiences to support younger children's learning. At times, activities are not pitched well enough to ensure children engage in meaningful learning. n Staff encourage children to develop their independence skills. Younger children are encouraged and shown how to use their cutlery appropriately at mealtimes. Older children confidently serve their own food and pour their own drinks during

23 July 2025 washing their hands before mealtimes and after using the toilet. n Overall, children behave well. Staff remind children of the rules of the setting, such as 'kind hands' and of how to be respectful to each other. For example, children show they are sorry as they give their friends a hug when a beanbag is mistakenly thrown at them. Children learn to say please and thank you when staff help them with tasks. However, staff do not always offer clear and consistent messages to help children to understand what is expected of them. For example, despite asking children to help to tidy away, staff do this for them. n Overall, staff support children's communication and language skills well. Older children confidently speak to their friends, staff and visitors and engage in back- and-forth conversations with them. Babies begin to babble and enjoy joining in with songs and listening to stories staff read to them. There are times, however,

where staff working with the youngest children forget to introduce new words or model language consistently, to build on children's vocabulary further. n Staff work in partnerships with parents. They provide regular updates on children's time at the setting, both verbally and through an online application. Staff offer ideas to how parents can support their children's learning at home. Parents comment that they know who their child's key person is and they are comfortable discussing things with them.
