Parents are fully included in their child's learning and a wealth of information is shared to encourage them to continue with their child's learning at home. Parents particularly value the workshops run by the pre-school staff several times a year, where they share activities with their child alongside staff.

• Children benefit greatly from forest school activities. They enthusiastically take part in a wide range of exciting and stimulating activities in local woodland. Children's physical skills are very well promoted as they learn to handle woodworking tools and construct wooden dens.

They also learn how to make pulleys and make their own play equipment, which provides excellent opportunities for them to develop their problem-solving skills. • Managers are highly reflective and extremely committed towards continually raising the quality of service to the highest possible levels. All staff carefully consider all children's individual needs and the needs of their families.
