The provision is good

Leaders design a broad curriculum that is based on what children like doing the most and what they need to learn next. Children enjoy spending time outdoors and learning about the world around them. They search for stones, sticks and leaves of various shapes and colours. Children are fascinated to search for worms and bugs. They discuss the natural habitat of different living things. Staff focus on children's language development and regularly introduce new vocabulary. For instance, staff tell children that some animals are 'hibernating', explaining the meaning of the word to improve children's understanding. All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, become confident talkers and make overall good progress in their learning.
