What Ofsted says it does well
“Practitioners provide opportunities for children to be physically active.”
“Practitioners understand the sequence of how young children learn mathematics.”
“Practitioners foster the children's love of stories.”
What Ofsted says it should do better
“use more effective strategies and strengthen practitioners' interactions with children to promote children's communication and language skills further”
“build further on relationships with parents to ensure all parents know who their children's key-person is to help ensure continuity of care and learning more effectively.”
