Staff care for children well on a day-to-day basis. Classrooms are welcoming and secure spaces for learning. However, leaders have not made sure that they fulfil all of their statutory safeguarding responsibilities. This means that children are not kept safe. Leaders are unclear about how they expect children to build up their knowledge and understanding in each area of learning. The curriculum lacks ambition. Children are not taught the knowledge they need to be prepared for the next stage of their education. Leaders do not routinely identify and support children who may need additional help with their learning. Children typically enjoy the activities that staff provide. They like exploring different resources and equipment, both inside and outdoors. Staff encourage children to be curious and to make choices about what they would like to do. At times, however, staff do not help children to keep focused on their learning. Staff are always on hand to encourage children to play together well. Staff sort out any disagreements and help children if they are feeling upset. Routines are clear, and staff expect children to show kindness towards each other. This helps to create a calm and respectful atmosphere in which children behave well.
