p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are motivated to learn and engage well in activities. They are curious and are learning to make sensible choices in readiness for the next stage in their learning. Overall, staff observe and assess children's individual needs and interests effectively. They plan for the next steps in their learning and take account of children's interests. Children's literacy skills are developing well. For example, they recognise their own names and handle books with interest. Children write their names on their pictures and make their marks outdoors, using chalks. Staff support children's learning well. For example, they stay nearby to offer support and show interest, and also recognise when children need time to solve problems and pursue activities on their own.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident and behave well. They clearly understand routines and boundaries. For example, children help to tidy up, share, and are considerate to each other. Suitable resources are made accessible, enabling children to make independent choices in their play. Children have good opportunities to develop healthy lifestyles. For example, they follow good hygiene routines and help themselves to water and healthy snacks. Children's physical development is promoted well. For example, children thoroughly enjoy using wheeled toys, playing hide-and-seek and digging outdoors. Children enjoy activities which help them to learn about the lives of others and the world around them. For example, they talk about their home languages and study world maps.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and development. This includes children in receipt of additional educational funding, and those who speak English as an additional language. Children are well motivated to learn. They are settled, develop strong friendships, and acquire skills in preparation for the next stage in their learning.
