The provision is good

Children are happy and settled in this calm and welcoming nursery. Staff warmly greet children and their parents as they enter in the morning, and support children to make choices about where they want to play. Children form strong bonds with all staff and confidently explore the activities on offer. For example, babies are motivated to explore ice cubes and respond well to prompts from staff as they name toy animals.

For instance, toddlers demonstrate high levels of interest and motivation during parachute games in the outdoor space. They learn to take turns and follow instructions well. Staff support children well as they teach them how to move the parachute and remind them about the rules of games.
