The setting offers a homely feel, helping children to feel safe and secure. Babies enjoy singing songs, and joining in with actions as they babble along. Staff model shaking their musical instruments to the music, which the babies excitedly imitate. The staff build on toddlers curiosity in the icy weather, by encouraging them to explore the ice that has frozen on the tuff tray outside. In preschool, children make marks in sand and on paper, practising their fine motor skills in preparation for writing. They learn to manipulate chopsticks to eat their noodles at snack, further developing these skills. Inspector highlights - Leaders have identified areas for improvement with relation to the implementation of the Safeguarding Policies and Procedures, and have acted upon these. They have carried out additional staff meetings to address the issues raised, and put action plans in place alongside continual monitoring of the situation. Consequently, all staff have a renewed understanding of safeguarding procedures. - Providers offer a curriculum which is sequenced to build on what children have learned previously. They plan learning experiences to provide children with opportunities to practice their skills. This helps children to develop their understanding and make secure links to what they already know. - There is a focus on preparing children for school, by developing independence and encouraging them to take ownership of things. Staff have a 'helper of the day' board, where children are chosen daily to help with setting the table, clearing up, and washing the dishes, to help promote this. - Partnership with parents and other agencies is a key strength for this setting. They take on board parents comments and suggestions and implement strategies and activities to help families in the area. Providers keep parents updated on their child's learning and development via the app, parents evenings, and termly reports. - Providers ensure plenty of opportunities for staff to attend training to improve their teaching. Staff implement what they have learned on training to support children, for example in recognising and dealing with their emotions. This helps to raise the quality of teaching and learning across the setting, therefore supporting children to reach their full potential. Areas to develop - 1 consider children's age, needs and abilities when planning whole-group activities, so that all children can participate and benefit from the learning provided - 2 provide support for staff to address the inconsistencies in the quality of the interventions for children, particularly those children with SEND. Inspection #10374464 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50265955) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have support plans in place. This enables staff to understand each child's unique needs and implement strategies to support their learning. However, on occasion, the children do not benefit from the intended interventions due to inconsistencies in staff practice, which in turn affects their ability to make progress. Outdoor space The staff build on toddlers curiosity in the icy weather, by encouraging them to explore the ice that has frozen on the tuff tray outside. The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning.
