who attend. This is outstanding

Children are highly motivated and engaged in their play because the planned activities provide challenges. Staff have expert knowledge and skilfully adapt their practice to meet children's differing needs and abilities, ensuring that they all make rapid progress in their learning and development. For example, when playing a ball game, staff challenge older children further, while simplifying the activity for younger children. This ensure all participants benefit extensively from the group activity. Planning is streamlined with the programme of activities delivered at the host school. This ensure that children's planned learning opportunities are seamless and complement those experienced at school, promoting the best possible development towards the next stage in learning.

This is because they are led by very skilful staff who deliver clear requests about their expectations and are exceptional role models.
