Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are good role models and skilfully interact with children during their play to extend their enjoyment. The staff show genuine interest and enthusiasm when they engage in activities with the children. Children develop their creative skills and enjoy a wide range of craft activities where they build on their concentration and imagination. For example, children enjoy creating models from play dough and designing binoculars from cardboard boxes. Children like to use the varied range of equipment outside to develop their physical skills. For example, they confidently ride scooters and play enthusiastic games, such as splashing in the puddles and making mud pies together. Staff encourage children to develop their literacy skills and confidence. For example, they support children to take turns to share books with the group and read stories to their friends.
