Quotes from the latest Ofsted Report:

Children’s literacy skills and communication are given high priority. Some
children begin to match sounds to letters and recognise their names

Staff skilfully question the children to help them develop their own ideas and enhance learning experiences. For example, children describe their artwork.

The key-person system is well established. Staff are sensitive to children’s
needs. When children are tired, they carry out the same routines that parents use at home. As a result, children fall to sleep and demonstrate that they feel safe and secure.

Children enjoy short and enjoyable small-group sessions to provide them with more focused learning support. The use of games helps children to get a better understanding of turn taking and sharing.
