Ofsted quotes

Children are very independent and take great pride in being able to do some things for themselves. Staff support children's growing abilities, offering encouragement to help them become confident and capable in being independent. For instance, toddlers learn how to put on and take off their coats when they have played outside. Staff help pre-schoolers think about how to open packets of foods at lunchtime and to tidy away when they have finished eating. Staff use these early experiences to help children develop skills that support them in readiness for their next stage in learning, including school. 

Children with special educational needs/and or disabilities (SEND) are supported well. Staff quickly identify those children who may need additional support and carefully consider how they can help them. Staff work well with other professionals involved in children's care, to promote consistency in children's learning and care. Staff reflect on how they can develop their environment to support children. For instance, funding has been used to create a sensory room, which staff successfully use to help meet children's emotional needs.
