For instance, they are encouraged to regularly add to their children's learning records and share their achievements from home. • The manager closely monitors the consistency of care and teaching experiences that staff provide for children.

For instance, they liaise closely with outside agencies, such as speech and language therapists, to share strategies and ideas.

Younger children give meaning to marks they make as they paint and draw. • Staff do not make the most out of ways to extend children's respect and understanding of other people's similarities and differences. • Staff do not consistently organise changes in routines effectively to ensure that children know what to do next and remain fully engaged in their learning.
