They enjoy eating noodles with chopsticks, play in the snow, and construct on a large and small scale. Children enjoy lively story sessions. They are fully involved in developing storylines. Staff make excellent use of language, for example using different tones of voice to create characters. They introduce new words to extend children's vocabulary, such as 'delicious' and 'posterior'. Staff use facial expressions and physical gestures to promote interaction with babies. They provide musical instruments that can be banged and shaken. Babies try to repeat the sounds, such as 'oink' and 'baa', and enjoy joining in with action

All children make good progress from their starting points. They quickly become confident, self-assured and independent learners. They talk about their families and friends, for example having dinner, a bath and a story before they go to bed. Children use their imagination well during collage activities. They show their mathematical skills when they make links between numbers and groups of objects during matching games. Children are well prepared for the move to school.
