n Staff teach children about the important of being physically healthy. Children spend time outside every day in the fresh air. However, opportunities for children to be physically active are sometimes limited. For example, staff do not always encourage children to take appropriate risks, such as running and climbing. As a result, some children are not able to build core strength at the highest levels. n Leaders are reflective of their practice. They have a robust approach to supporting staff. Leaders carry out regular supervisions to identify any support staff may need. They organise continuous professional development opportunities for staff. They link these closely with the needs of individual children. The teaching skills of all staff continue to improve over time.
