Children respond easily to staff, who offer a caring and reassuring approach, helping them make good progress from their starting points. Staff effectively encourage communication and language development, reinforcing words and phrases for children with English as an additional language, although they are working to further enhance opportunities for children to use their home languages.

Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child Outdoor space The range of outdoor play opportunities is sometimes limited and does not promote all areas of children's learning consistently well, such as in supporting those children who learn best outdoors. Children have opportunities for daily exercise, including crawling through a colourful pop-up tunnel and playing hide-and-seek in a wooden tepee. Older children develop good control of their ride-on toys, learning about road safety. EAL / language support Staff reinforce words and phrases for children with English as an additional language to encourage their speech. However, they have not fully considered providing opportunities for them to use key words from their home language to support them to develop their speech and understanding more effectively.
