What Ofsted says it does well
“Children demonstrate positive attitudes towards learning and enjoy the freedom to explore their environment and choose what they would like to do.”
“Children join in with a morning circle time and maintain attention during a range of activities.”
“Children have plenty of opportunities to develop their physical skills.”
What Ofsted says it should do better
“support staff to make better use of strategies to help children to develop a deeper understanding of boundaries to support their good behaviour.”
