  • Talking to staff to see how they describe our children, what they like/dislike, attitudes to learning and evaluating areas of curriculum / continuous provision where they show less interest.
  • From their own starting points, children make excellent progress academically and socially, so that they are independent and skill ready for Key Stage 1.
  • Children demonstrate high levels of engagement in activities, developing their speaking and listening skills and their ability to negotiate with others.
  • Children develop skills and confidence across all areas of the curriculum.
