What does the early years setting do well and what does it need to do better?

Children are well supported to enjoy healthy lifestyles. They say they like being outdoors in the school playground. Here, they have plenty of space to be active and energetic.

They enjoy playing physical games such as football. However, at times in the hall, the younger children have limited opportunities to take part in active learning due to group restrictions. The manager recognises this and reviews resources and reviews, taking prompt action to maintain children's interest.
