The work is planned well and there is a good balance of teacher directed and child initiated activities, all of which are purposeful and very well organized. All staff have very high expectations of the children's behaviour and the manner in which they approach their work. The adults listen to what the children have to say and through careful questioning develop their knowledge and understanding. There is good management of these young children, ensuring that they settle quickly and happily into daily routines. Children's personal and social development is given a high priority, to good effect.
New entrants settle quickly into the routines.
Children are encouraged to be independent and make choices about their activities. They know what is expected of them and behave well. All the children are interested and responsive, taking part in all the activities. Even the youngest children are able to work with concentration and persevere in their learning. All staff act as good role models for the children, helping them to form positive relationships with each other.
