“Staff support children’s communication well. They talk to children constantly throughout the day. Staff listen attentively, ask questions and introduce new vocabulary, such as ‘ripe’ as children eat their fruit at snack time. As a result, children become very confident communicators”.
Supportive staff
“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“.
