Inspector highlights - Staff provide a warm and caring environment where children settle without hesitation and demonstrate feeling safe and secure. - Children are encouraged to develop independence and confidence, making independent choices in their play and swiftly engaging in activities. - Older children collaborate effectively in pretend play, moving large boxes outdoors and understanding safety rules. - Managers effectively handle minor disruptions, ensuring qualification requirements are met and children are cared for by trusted staff for stability and continuity. - Staff know children's learning needs well and plan interesting activities and outings to target individual development, such as improving conversational and fine motor skills. - Children are served home-cooked lunches with ample fresh vegetables, fostering independence as they help themselves and use cutlery well. - Staff create a pleasant environment where children behave well and learn to listen, supporting their learning and safety. - The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with an open and positive culture that prioritises children's interests. Areas to develop - 1 Improve monitoring processes particularly in the pre-school room, for example identify and remedy the periods when children lack focus, to provide a more streamlined day for them, check also that capable, independent children have really attended to their personal hygiene - 2 As roles and responsibilities evolve, look at ways to keep a focus on children's individual learning needs, for example provide an even more finely defined curriculum for children's individual learning so that their learning goals can be shared more effectively with other staff and parents.
