The provision is good • The management team frequently seeks the views of children, parents and staff. They regularly attend the local authority update meetings.
This helps the management team to evaluate and build upon its practice and to make sure outcomes for all children are good. • The management team holds regular supervisory meetings with staff and identifies ways to help support their professional development. This helps to ensure their teaching practice is consistently good.
• Staff promote children's understanding of the natural world well. For example, children experience regular hands-on learning in a woodland environment, where they investigate mud, water an...d insects. They also have regular supervised opportunities to closely observe the sheep, goats, pheasants, chickens, rabbits and budgerigars that live on site.
• Staff build strong relationships with children. For example, they respond quickly and sensitively to children's needs and offer them cuddles when needed. Furthermore, staff listen carefully to children and praise their contributions so that children feel valued.
This helps children to feel relaxed, safe and confident to try new experiences. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not always share enough information with other settings that children attend, so that consistency and continuity in children's learning are fully promoted. • Some staff do not use the information they gather from observing children as effectively as possible to support children to make rapid progress in their learning.
We recommend using Locrating on a computer for the best experience
Locating works best on a computer, as the larger screen area allows for easier viewing of information.
