Children enjoy warm and caring relationships with one another and staff. However, leaders have not made sure that their safeguarding practices and procedures keep all children safe. Additional support from appropriate agencies is not sought when, from time to time, families require extra help. Parents and carers describe the school as a welcoming and friendly place to be. They universally say that staff have created a caring environment for their children to learn and develop. Staff help children feel secure and confident. The classroom is well resourced, and children have opportunities to explore and learn new things across all areas of learning. Staff take care to ensure that planned activities appeal to children’s interests. Books are central to children’s early experiences and are used well to enthuse children about their learning. Adults get the best from the children in their care. Children happily and industriously go about their work and play. They respond well to adults’ instructions and requests. Children’s behaviour is very good, and they rise to the high expectations of them. Disagreements are rare and are always shortlived. A cheerful, positive atmosphere pervades.
