Staff assess children's starting points on entry through observations and use this information well to help close any gaps in their learning and development. Therefore, all children make good progress for their next stage of learning. Staff provide young babies with good learning experiences. For example, babies have fun engaging in messy-play activities, such as gluing and sticking using different textured materials. Older children enjoy listening to stories; consequently, developing good communication and early literacy skills. Children join in singing familiar nursery rhymes and number songs together, therefore, building their self-confidence. However, staff do not fully extend older children's understanding of mathematics, for example, by introducing basic sums using adding and subtraction. Toddlers enjoy exploring the cornflour mixture, particularly as they add water and mix it together, effectively developing their early creative and language skills.
