Overall, teaching is good. Staff provide plenty of opportunities for children to explore ideas and initiate play. Staff ask simple questions to support children's understanding. Highly qualified staff demonstrate good teaching techniques to apprentices.

This means teaching is consistent and children make good progress in their learning. Observations support the judgements made by staff of individual children's progress. Children demonstrate high levels of concentration as they engage with a range of challenging activities. For instance, children confidently persist with a padlock and key activity until they get the tiny keys to open the padlocks.
