Strengths

- “They feel safe and secure here.”
- “There is always plenty for everyone to do.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, some of these smaller steps are less clearly defined for children in the early years.”
- “This makes it more difficult for staff in the early years to make sure that children learn all of the important knowledge that they need in these areas of learning.”
- “However, in a few subjects, leaders do not have such a clear overview of the effectiveness of the curriculum.”
