p.1

This provision meets requirements

Children are warmly welcomed by the friendly and caring staff. They are able to choose from a wide range of toys and activities, which supports them in being independent and making decisions about their play. Children are actively involved in planning the weekly activities by working collaboratively with their peers and sharing ideas with staff. This helps them to feel valued and respected, while also fostering a fun and inclusive environment, where they can relax after a busy school day.

This provision meets requirements

Staff role model positive behaviour and language consistently. They have high expectations for children's behaviour, including being kind to one another, taking care of games and resources and helping each other. As a result, children play cooperatively, build friendships and develop important social skills.

n Staff promote healthy habits for all children. Children are provided with snacks that follow nutritional guidance and learn the importance of good hygiene, such as washing their hands before eating. They benefit from daily outdoor play in the large playground, where they enjoy vigorous exercise. Staff take time to explain why healthy lifestyles matter, helping children to develop positive habits. n Children follow the daily routines and are highly engaged in their play. Children know what is expected of them and are confident to ask for help when needed. However, staff do not always organise transitions effectively and, as a result, children can spend long periods of time waiting unnecessarily. n Leaders create an inclusive environment for all children to feel safe and valued. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported. Staff work closely with parents to ensure smooth transitions between school and

home. n Children behave well in the setting. Staff encourage children to manage their own behaviour and be aware of the rules and boundaries that must be followed to ensure their own safety. For example, during their 'welcome circle' children share the rules of the setting with each other and explain why they need to be followed. Children are respectful of each other and listen to one another as they talk.

9 September 2025 n Children play independently in the setting. They select the resources they want to play with and help to tidy them away after they have finished. However, on occasion, there are missed opportunities for children to practise personal skills, such as serving their own food and preparing simple snacks. n Parents and carers comment that they are happy with all aspects of this setting. They explain how their children are happy and enjoy both the free play and the adult-led activities, which are available to them. Staff communicate well with parents. They share key information that teachers have passed on when needed. This supports the continuity of care between school and home. n Leaders know their staff team well and ensure they are valued and supported. Induction procedures are thorough, and regular supervision and open communication enable staff to feel confident in their roles. This contributes to a
