“Staff skilfully support children’s mathematical development. For example, as children play, staff encourage them to identify the shapes of objects and resources. During everyday activities, such as snack time or lining up, children join in enthusiastically with staff to count how many children there are“.

“Parents are keen to share their positive views about the playgroup. They say that staff are very supportive and make them feel welcome and included. Parents appreciate the detailed information they receive about their children’s learning and development, including how they can support learning at home“.
