The provision is good

Children explore the environment independently and are eager to learn new skills. They enjoy using accessible resources, indoors and outdoors. Staff interact well with the children, join in with their play and guide their learning. Babies play happily alongside their friends and progress well from their starting points in learning. Staff have high expectations of the children and introduce a range of vocabulary, extending children's communication and language skills. Children are taught how to care for their environment. Children learn about the life cycles of the worm and how to care for them. For example, they grow plants and have a wormery.

The provision is good

Staff arrange flexible and personalised settling-in routines with parents. Babies who find it difficult to separate from their parents receive cuddles and warm attention. For example, they snuggle into staff's laps as they share books. Children behave well. They wash their hands and prepare their own fruit at snack time. Staff are positive role models and actively encourage children to use good manners. Children thoroughly enjoy sensory play, using tools such as buckets and containers to splash and scoop. Children learn about capacity and numbers by filling empty containers with water and mud. For example, with the support of staff, they learn to measure and compare volumes.
