Children attending Our Ladys Preschool consistently demonstrate happiness and feel secure, confidently engaging in daily routines and developing independence. They show very good behaviour, responding positively to staff expectations, and learn about healthy living through activities like dental hygiene and exploring various foods. Staff are skilled at integrating learning into play, for instance, by exploring shadows outdoors and offering books and activities that align with children's interests. Outdoor learning is a key feature, with children spending significant time making "potions" using herbs from the garden and drawing around their body shadows to observe movement. While staff generally support children's communication and language development well, there is an identified area for improvement in extending the speaking skills of children who are learning English as an additional language. Relationships between staff and children are strong, with staff adeptly extending learning through interactions. Parents confirm their children enjoy the setting, though the preschool is working to improve communication regarding individual children's learning and how parents can support this at home.

Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child Outdoor space Children spend sustained periods of time making potions outside, using herbs from the garden. Staff support children to draw around their body shadows with chalk to observe how the shadows move.
