Strengths
- “Children thoroughly enjoy their time here.”
- “They are keen to get started when they arrive in the morning and join in with activities enthusiastically.”
- “Well-established routines and a wide range of appealing activities mean that children are soon absorbed in playing and learning, both indoors and out.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, however, staff are not sufficiently clear about what they intend children to learn through each activity.”
- “As a result, opportunities are missed to build on what children already know and can do.”
