The provision is good

The managers and staff have created a harmonious and friendly environment. Staff take time to speak to parents when they arrive with their children. This helps to ensure that the transition between home and nursery is as easy as possible for all children. Children generally arrive with smiles and are eager to join in with activities on offer. Children behave well. Staff generally reminds children rules of the nursery. This helps children to know what is expected of them. The older children happily follow instruction and negotiate space around them safely.

The provision is good

Staff know children well. They have high expectation of all children and use timely assessment to inform their planning. Leaders create an ambitious curriculum based on children's interest and what they need to learn next to be successful in their future learning. Most staff are skilled and sequence children's learning well. For example, children explore play dough and then use it to create faces. During discussions, staff bring children's attention to their own facial features and help them identify similarities and differences. Discussions are respectful and children's voices are listened to. This helps children learn about the world around them and feel valued. Overall, all children make good progress from their starting points.

Staff ask them to choose which story they want to listen to by raising hands. Then they count which book received the most votes. This helps them understand the rules of democracy.

For example, staff do not always plan group activities for younger children effectively. At times, staff do not consider well enough the size of the group and do not consistently support all children in their learning. Therefore, children do not always learn all that they could from these experiences. n Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and vulnerable children make good progress.
