Children make exceptional levels of progress and truly flourish in this inspirational nursery. Their well-being is of the highest priority. Children form secure attachments and close bonds with the nurturing and extremely caring staff. Babies laugh and giggle with beaming smiles as they copy the facial expressions of their key person. They snuggle, share stories and sing songs together. The highly sensitive and responsive relationships they form contribute to children being extremely happy and settled in this truly loving and nurturing environment.

The provision is outstanding

Children are excited, inquisitive and highly engaged in the ambitious and extremely well-designed experiences they take part in. For instance, they are fascinated to discover what happens when they add different coloured dyes to dough. Children make predictions and discuss their thoughts and ideas with their friends. They are extremely considerate and respectful of one another as they take turns talking and listen to each other with genuine interest. Children confidently recall previous learning that blue and red will make purple and that the quantity of dye will change the shade to be 'lighter' or 'darker'. Children benefit from a curriculum that leaders have meticulously designed to ensure they are confident and resilient and develop a thirst for knowledge and a love of learning.
