Staff know their key children really well, and they build strong attachments with them. - Children learn different ways to keep themselves healthy, for example, they take part in gymnastic-style activities and learn how to look after their teeth as they brush their teeth daily at pre-school. - Children enjoy racing 'ducks' down guttering pipes as they talk about which will be the fastest. Staff support them in taking turns as they play with the ducks. - The manager has clear aims for the curriculum, which focuses particularly on children's personal, social and emotional development. - Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well by the pre-school SEND coordinator. - Children, including children with SEND, make good progress in their learning and development. - There are good partnerships with parents. They comment that their children enjoy pre-school because of the staff who are 'lovely, friendly and kind'. - Staff teach children to become curious learners, and they plan activities to ignite their interest. For example, children take part in a regular science club to develop their understanding of the world around them. - The manager recognises the experiences that children may not have and ensures she plans for them within the setting. For example, children often do not have easy access to a garden, so she ensures there is the option to play outside for most of the day. - Staff have regular supervision meetings with the manager to discuss well-being, workload, and performance targets. - The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, and staff show a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities. - Staff have developed strong partnerships with other professionals involved in children's care and with other settings children attend. Areas to develop - 1 Strengthen staff's understanding of the curriculum to ensure they are consistently clear on the overall aims for learning. - 2 Develop the planning of activities further to ensure that the older and most able children are provided with further challenge.
