Comments from specific areas
PERSONAL, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT - VERY GOOD
Children show perseverance and enjoyment in their play and are building good relationships with each other. They listen attentively at story time. Children co-operate well and are beginning to understand the need to take turns and share. Children are independent in their choice of resources and activities, and are therefore interested and motivated in their learning.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD - VERY GOOD
Children are beginning to use a range of tools and materials including construction kits and resources to build, cut and join with. Children explore and investigate objects and materials using their
senses. Children have access to the computer to complete simple programmes.
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT - VERY GOOD
Children are using a range of tools, construction and malleable materials with increasing control and safety. They have access to a range of small and large
equipment. They move confidently, showing awareness of space and others.
CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT - VERY GOOD
Children use and explore media, colour and materials when engaged in construction, messy play and art and craft
activities. They enjoy musical activities including singing. Children use and express their imagination through role play and other creative activities.
MATHEMATICAL DEVELOPMENT - VERY GOOD
Children have opportunities to count and use number through planned
activities. Children are learning to use language to describe and compare shape, size and quantity through messy play and construction activities. Water and sand play and cookery introduces concept of weight and measure.
COMMUNICATION, LANGUAGE AND LITERACY - GENERALLY GOOD
Children develop speaking and listening skills as they listen to stories and enjoy whole group activities. Children initiate conversations with adults and themselves. Staff use open ended questions and games to encourage good communication and help children to extend their vocabulary.
