Leaders demonstrate a strong drive for continuous improvement, taking account of the views of other professionals, parents and children.

• Relationships with staff are strong. Children are happy and form secure and trusting bonds with staff. This helps secure the...ir emotional well-being.

• Overall, methods for observation, assessment and planning are effective and staff are good teachers. Children make good progress from their starting points and staff prepare them well for school and the next stage in learning. • Children's behaviour is very good.

Staff skilfully teach them a good range of social skills which helps them to play and learn well with others.
