Inspector Jo Hogan wrote: ‘Throughout the setting children are very independent. They demonstrate this when they expertly use a knife to spread jam and butter on their toast. Children pour drinks and cereals with great confidence. Children are incredibly well prepared for their next stages in learning, due to the exceptionally high quality of teaching across the nursery.’
