"All children make rapid progress. They develop an excellent understanding of linking letters to sounds and a keen interest in writing their name. Older children count reliably to 10 and use mathematical language, such as 'big, bigger, biggest, small, smaller and smallest'. They confidently name shapes, such as 'circle, triangle, cone' and 'square'. Children gain an excellent range of skills, abilities and attitudes that help to prepare them extremely well for future learning and school"
