Staff use excellent teaching methods, which are extremely effective in preparing children for school. For example, staff know the children extremely well, make intuitive observations of children's learning and carry out continual assessments. This information is then used by the staff to provide challenging and exciting opportunities to extend children's mathematical and literacy learning. Consequently, children excel in their understanding of counting, numbers, calculation and in their writing skills. Staff quickly identify any need for additional support to help narrow any gaps in children's learning.
