They also show a keen interest in their surroundings, with staff effectively building on this curiosity. Regular purposeful outings support children's physical, personal, social and emotional development, helping them build confidence and feel secure. Inspector highlights - Children show positive attitudes to learning and enjoy helping staff with everyday routines. - Most children engage well in storytelling activities and recreate experiences using familiar texts. - Older children develop their social skills, forming nurturing friendships and preparing for school. - Key-person arrangements are embedded well, fostering secure relationships with familiar adults. - Children benefit from a calm and nurturing environment, with a recently developed calm area to support emotional regulation. - Leaders and staff work closely with parents and carers to gather information and address additional support needs promptly. - Leaders recognise the importance of supporting disadvantaged children and those facing barriers to learning, liaising effectively with social workers. - Leaders work effectively with parents and carers, who praise staff communication and value the guidance provided. Areas to develop - 1 Staff do not yet consistently use strategies to help children understand how their behaviour and actions affect others. Consequently, some children repeat behaviours that upset their peers. - 2 At times, staff do not implement some planned activities effectively, which can impact the learning experiences of some children. - 3 Leaders have not yet ensured that all aspects of mealtime practice are consistently embedded across the setting.
