“Emphasis has also been placed on improving the quality of programme delivery and on promoting positive social relationships between children. Teachers model expected behaviours and use affirmation well to promote desirable interpersonal interactions. They provide good standards of care and actively engage with children, working to extend their oral language and thinking skills, and to encourage participation in the wide range of Centre activities provided. These activities are well resourced and supervised, giving children access to a variety of developmentally appropriate learning experiences in an emotionally supportive environment.”

“The Ladybird Early Childhood Centre provides very good standards of care and education for children. Facilities are attractively presented, providing children and parents with a welcoming, colourful environment. Both indoor and outdoor play spaces are well maintained, and good hygiene and safety standards prevail throughout the centre.” (Education Review Office, 2003)
