“Children arrive happily and immediately settle into playing at this welcoming pre-school. Leaders ensure children take part in a good range of learning opportunities based on their interests.”

“Children benefit from warm relationships with staff who know them and their families well.”

“Staff have a clear understanding of what they want children to learn, and when, as part of a progressive curriculum. They provide children with regular opportunities to improve their skills, including through using tools as they explore how to make changes to play dough.”

“Staff ensure children learn about a wide variety of topics linked to their wider understanding of the world. Staff are knowledgeable and experienced. They present information clearly to children and deepen children’s understanding of different topics well.”

“Staff regularly introduce new words to children, such as teaching them names of different parts of an egg during a baking activity. Children confidently communicate their ideas and hold thoughtful conversations with adults and their friends.”

“Children are confident. Staff encourage children to make choices about their play and self-select their activities. Children happily ask others to play and take turns with them, building on each other’s ideas. They excitedly ask to sing songs on their own in front of their friends during music sessions. Staff celebrate their efforts and develop their confidence further.”
