High quality of learning

Children in the Education Unit experience excellent opportunities for learning. Their activities and learning experiences stretch children's imaginations, communication skills, mathematical thinking and understanding of the world....The high quality of learning that these children experience enhances all aspects of their personal, social and emotional development. They are making an excellent start in readiness for school.

Staff are confident about equality

Staff are confident about equality and they are clear they do not treat any child or family more or less favourably...Staff find out about children's home languages and they all make concerted efforts to use children's home languages as a platform on which to develop children's English and their communication and language skills. Staff in the nursery speak a number of languages and this supports children very well.

Children are motivated

Staff respond well to children's interests and are actively engaged in their play, chatting to them about what they are doing, supporting them in their play and helping them to persevere when the activity gets difficult. As a result, children are motivated and keen to learn and are developing the key skills needed for the next stage in their learning.
