• Children enjoy the time they spend outdoors. Staff make the most of learning opportunities in the garden, so that children who prefer to play outdoors can access resources to support their learning across all areas. • Staff provide an environment that enhances ...children's understanding of the world.

For instance, they learn about the life cycle of a butterfly and talk about what butterflies like to eat. • Although staff receive regular training, and managers make good use of annual appraisals to monitor their performance, there is scope to develop the ongoing supervision of staff even further, to help raise the teaching to an even higher level. • Staff do not consistently help teach children about possible risks.

For example, when children run indoors, they do not reinforce the pre-school rules to help them to understand that this is not safe. • Leaders reflect on the practice. However, they do not focus precisely on those areas for improvement which will benefit and enhance children's learning the most.
