Children are greeted enthusiastically by the staff team. Staff provide a safe, welcoming and stimulating learning environment for children, inside and outside.
Children settle quickly into play, are happy and enjoy their time at this friendly preschool. They are interested in the activities, engage in learning and demonstrate enthusiasm and curiosity in their play. For example, older children eagerly tell staff where their car lands after they push it down the guttering channel they have built. This then becomes a game to see whose car travels the furthest.
Staff engage well with children and have high expectations of their behaviour, and as a result, children behave very well. Children’s voices are listened to and valued by the nurturing staff team. Children happily take turns and share toys and often say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ without being prompted. Staff support children’s communication and language development appropriately.
The manager, who is a good role model for staff, carefully asks open-ended and thought-provoking questions to engage and entice children in conversation. During small-world imaginative play, children tell the manager about who lives in the pretend house and what their characters are doing.
