The provision is good

Children settle well in this warm, organised nursery. They are confident and motivated to learn. Staff treat each child as special and know and appreciate their individual personalities. They have high expectations of children. Children gain good communication, language and literacy skills. For instance, staff read a variety of stories, including dual-language books, to teach children new words. This supports children who are learning English as an additional language. Staff sing songs and rhymes, which supports children's language skills further.

The provision is good

Children learn to share and to take turns well. They play cooperatively in the mud kitchen in the outdoor area, where they share resources and take on different roles. Children act with care and caution. For instance, they wear wellington boots to avoid slipping in muddy areas outdoors. Children walk indoors to reduce the risk of accidents. They develop a good understanding of difference. Staff explain the meanings behind special cultural and religious events, and celebrate these with children, such as Chinese New Year and Eid. Staff use multicultural puppets while telling stories to support children's understanding of diversity. The curriculum is balanced and comprehensive. Children learn valuable skills in preparation for school.
