What it's like
The impact of staff's quality teaching is seen in the rapid development that children are making. Children are learning social skills from a young age and are progressing from playing separately to purposefully playing in cooperation with each other. Staff have created a well-organised environment where children's focus on meaningful learning is promoted, and their well-being is supported effectively through routines and visual timetables.

Areas to develop
Inclusion & environment
The special educational needs and disabilities coordinator (SENDCo) fulfils her role and responsibilities very well. Timely referrals are made when gaps in children's learning and development start to emerge. Staff work positively and proactively with support services and use their expert advice to ensure that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are making the progress of which they are capable.
Pre-school children participate in group games outdoors, which staff have chosen to support their mathematical development. They take turns to confidently count and use language about time during their play.
