Children enjoy chatting with staff and with each other. Staff promote children’s critical thinking because they ask questions, they make sure that children are given time to put their thoughts into words.

Staff use information provided by parents and their assessments to plan effectively for each child’s learning, consequently children make good progress.

Relationships between children and staff are strong.

Children are safeguarded because staff are aware of their responsibilities to protect them from abuse and neglect.  Staff successfully minimise potential risks.

Outdoor play areas within the school grounds are used effectively throughout the year to support children’s learning.  They develop skills when they use large physical play equipment and play games with balls and hoops. 

Staff  ensure that partnerships with parents are effective so that there is a consistent approach to promote children’s emotional well being.

 Children behave well and understand rules for taking turns and sharing.  Their self-confidence is boosted by staff through praise for being helpful and for their achievements.

Children are encouraged to talk about mathematical concepts and solve problems while they enjoy a range of different activities.
