Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children have plenty of opportunities to be active. They run, climb and balance in the pre-school garden. They explore the surrounding field, making the most of the wider space available to them. This helps them to develop their physical skills, spatial awareness and coordination.
Activities: Children take part in regular yoga sessions. They practise their listening skills and enjoy stretching and trying new poses.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Children learn useful skills in preparation for school and their future learning. Staff consider children's progress regularly to ensure they are challenged. All children make good progress and show positive attitudes towards their learning.
Communication: Parents speak highly of the staff. They receive regular feedback about their children's learning and progress through face-to-face meetings, online apps, individual communication books, and newsletters.
