Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: The premises are secure for children to maintain their welfare.
Activities: Children participate in charity events and make donations to the food bank to help people who are less fortunate than themselves.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff promote children's literacy development very well, using visual aids and props linked to stories. Children enhance their listening and attention skills during music and movement sessions. They gain confidence in communication using descriptive vocabulary such as 'squeeze', 'squash,' and 'roll'.
Communication: Staff actively involve parents to identify their children's starting points and share resources, including library books, to help parents continue their children's learning at home.
Programs and Resources: Staff work closely with parents and other professionals to support children with SEND and children who speak English as an additional language. Additional funding is used efficiently to respond to children's learning needs.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Staff are positively encouraged to further their professional development and feel well supported by the manager.
Safeguarding Training: Staff attend relevant training to keep up to date with guidance and legislation. The manager places high importance on safeguarding children and staff.
Play and Learning Integration: Children build their fine motor skills as they easily mould and manipulate play dough with their hands and fingers.
Transition to Primary School: Partnerships with local primary schools are good. Staff contribute relevant information about children's development to support their future transitions.
Diversity Management: Staff work closely with children who speak English as an additional language to meet their individual requirements fully and promote their independence while in the setting.
Child Safety Management: The premises are secure for children to maintain their welfare. Staff follow robust arrangements for checking visitors and implement a password system for the collection of children if adults are unfamiliar to them.
Happiness and Settling: Effective settling-in procedures enable staff to foster children's emotional well-being from the very beginning. The established key-person system helps children to feel safe and happy.
