2013

 

“Overall, the pre-school room is set up to support and assist children's current interests, in order to create an inclusive and welcoming environment where children engage in their play freely. Consequently, children are motivated and involved in their play and keen to learn. For example, the current topic of dinosaurs has been developed to support children's interests, as noted by parents and observed by key persons. Consequently, children's learning is developed through planned purposeful play, discussions and within group activities, and they enjoy attending. They form stable attachments and appropriate bonds with practitioners and their peers. This means that secure relationships are developed and early friendships are formed."

These statements were written in our last full Ofsted report after inspection in March 2013.
