Children arrive at the pre-school with smiling faces and are warmly welcomed by
staff. They wave goodbye to their parents and carers and skip off to play with their
friends. Children demonstrate their understanding of the staff’s expectations as
they pause their play and sit on the carpet, ready to listen as staff sing the
registration song. They show that they feel safe and happy at this pre-school.
The staff know the children well, including children who have only recently
started at the setting. They understand children’s starting points and interests
and identify what they need to learn next. Staff observe and assess children’s
development and identify where they can support them further. They use
additional funding to support individual children with sensitivity. This helps
children to make good progress.
Staff engage in meaningful conversations with children. They teach children new
vocabulary and embed previously learned words. Children learn lots of different
songs and enjoy listening to stories.
Staff plan experiences to enhance children’s skills and learning. They host a local
music and movement teacher weekly to teach children movement and dance
and to learn about musical instruments. Staff have introduced a book-lending
library to ensure all children can share stories with their families at home.
Staff put routines in place to promote children’s independence. Children learn to
hang up their coats and belongings on arrival. The staff arrange the pre-school
so children can access all suitable resources and make choices in their play.
Children learn to wash their hands before eating and help themselves to a
healthy snack. Children become increasingly independent.
