The provision is good

Children are happy, safe and secure at this nursery. They have established strong bonds with the nursery staff. They arrive and happily leave their parents at the door. They move confidently around the nursery to choose their favourite activities. They play happily alongside their peers. Children listen attentively to stories and join in with action songs and rhymes, which helps them to develop vocabulary and supports their coordination. They listen and follow instructions as they engage in conversations with staff. They are confident and relaxed as they giggle and laugh together. This promotes their communication and language and social skills. Maths is woven into the routine activities at the nursery. For example, children learn to compare sizes of the three bears in the 'Goldilocks' story and again as they explore the fruits and vegetables in the healthy food activity. Children acquire a can-do attitude and persevere when they do not get it right the first time. Children are
