The provision is good

Children arrive happy and eager to join their friends in this welcoming nursery. They build strong relationships with their key person, who shows care and compassion. This helps children to settle in well. Children enjoy cuddles and telling practitioners about their morning before coming to nursery. Practitioners listen with joy and engage in conversation with the children. Practitioners interact and listen to the ideas and opinions of the children, and they offer suggestions to extend their play and learning. They engage children in focused activities that build on what they know and can do.

30 August 2023 n A well-established key-person system helps children form secure attachments and promotes their well-being and independence. However, at times, practitioners complete tasks for children that they can do themselves.
