Strengths
- “Bushy Leaze Early Years Centre is full of happy children who learn well.”
- “They arrive bursting with excitement to see staff and their friends and to discover their learning for the day.”
- “As sessions begin, children settle quickly into their daily routines.”
To improve
- “However, children are not provided with enough opportunities to develop their early writing skills through mark making.”
- “There is not enough clarity about what is expected at different ages in terms of mark making and what children should be able to do by the time they leave the centre.”
