Inclusion & environment
Children who have additional needs are supported well. Staff are confident to involve other childcare professionals where needed. They attend regular meetings with parents and childcare professionals in order to share information and agree support to help children reach their targets for development. This enables all children to make good progress.
Children show high levels of engagement in activities. They shout 'look at me!' as they confidently jump off a wooden platform, developing their physical skills.
