Staff skilfully introduce phonics, letters and shapes as children play. Babies enjoy the different textures and they watch and listen closely to staff as they sensitively talk about what is taking place. Toddlers delight in taking part in sensory experiences, such as story time and playing in soap bubbles. Pre-school children are extremely well supported in naming colours, using mathematics and using their early writing skills. All staff question skilfully and help children to solve problems and work things out in their play. Parents are very involved in the observation and assessment of their children.
