I Hear I Forget I See I Remember I Do I Understand

The Provision is outstanding

Children are happy, contented and secure throughout the nursery and kindergarten.

They confidently access the stimulating and challenging range of activities and are

forming secure relationships with staff and other children. They enjoy various activities such as messy play, construction, making their Christmas decorations and learning their Christmas songs. They also have daily trips to the woods which are used as a great source of learning, such as maths, nature and science, developing communication and thinking skills. The children clearly enjoyed doing actions and singing their Christmas songs. Children develop their communication skills as they respond to others around them . They use verbal and non-verbal language to make their needs known to staff who are adept  at  interpreting  these needs.

Children learn about responsibilities and are allowed to make errors, decisions and choices as they select activities and share their play with others.

Children exhibit high levels of confidence and security and this has been achieved by the consistent support and direction of staff. Older children are able to resolve their differences when conflicts arise. They are encouraged to talk about  It and find their own solutions. This provides children with tools to become aware of the needs of others and negotiate differences. Younger children often seek out staff to share experiences with or to gain support for an activity.

Attractive displays all around the nursery  and kindergarten give children pride in their work. Staff make the experiences enjoyable and meaningful for the children which in turn aids their confidence to participate. Children are receptive to the constant  praise and encourages them to try new tasks and  participate in activities.
