Older children hang up their belongings and walk into pre-school with confidence. Children have formed good relationships with staff, who spend time getting to know them and their families. Staff communicate well with children, asking questions and showing genuine interest during conversations with them. Children who speak English as an additional language are supported well. Their home languages and cultures are celebrated throughout the nursery, giving them a sense of belonging.
