They have positive attitudes towards learning and are motivated to try more difficult tasks and challenges without adult support. • Staff do not focus sharply enough on planning for individual children's development, to make the best possible use of opportunities to promote their next steps in learning. • Staff do not seek to share information with other settings that children attend as quickly as possible, to provide the best level of continuity and support for each child.
