Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Staff utilise every opportunity to support children's healthy development. Funding is used meticulously to provide children with nutritious, nourishing meals and snacks.

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Children spend ample amounts of time outside each day. They tell staff they prefer to be outside and staff willingly provide for this. Children are physically active. They thoroughly enjoy group games, such as when staff organise a 'mini-Olympics' and have opportunities to manage obstacle courses and move in a variety of ways. They challenge one another as they confidently negotiate the monkey bars on the climbing equipment. Staff carefully manage these periods of physical activity with more restful periods, and offer children frequent drinks to make sure they stay thoroughly hydrated, particularly during periods of extreme weather.

Before children join the setting, leaders work closely with parents to fully understand each child's character, care and health needs.
