n The ambitious curriculum is well planned, overall. Staff support children to develop key skills in all areas of learning in preparation for the next stage and eventual move to school. Staff find out about children's individual needs and interests from the start. They build on what children already know and support them to have a secure understanding in each area, before moving on to the next stage. This helps to identify any gaps in children's learning and where they may need additional support. Staff work closely with parents, carers and other professionals to target plans to ensure no child is left behind. Children who need additional support benefit from small, focused group activities. n Children are eager to join in and quickly get involved in the stimulating activities on offer.
