All children benefit from a range of activities, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). For example, when staff develop sports games on the field they adapt them to meet the varied needs of the children, who giggle with joy as they run between coloured cones. Children build positive relationships with those around them, such as when older children offer younger friends strategies on how to win the game.

n Leaders are passionate and inspiring. They have a clear vision of the high-quality experiences they plan to deliver to children. This is understood well by staff, who take a lead in developing activities. They build on children's interests and plan activities that are varied and engaging. For example, they talk to children about what they would like to do and children choose sports, such as football and climbing. Children have opportunities to make independent choices. n Children joyfully explore nature and the environment. Staff promote children's curiosity through organised activities.
