What Ofsted says it does well
“Staff promote children's communication and language skills well.”
“Children have lots of opportunities to build their core strength and coordination skills.”
“The manager and staff are committed to enhancing the provision on offer and continually evaluate children's learning and welfare.”
What Ofsted says it should do better
“continue to review the organisation of some group activities to further enhance children's high levels of involvement.”
