The provision is good

Children arrive happy and ready to start the day at this stimulating, clean and spacious nursery. Children develop strong attachments to staff, who are friendly and caring towards them. Staff have high expectations of the children, who follow instructions and are well behaved. Staff offer children a secure base of care and affection. Children who are new to the setting settle easily as staff get to know them quickly and meet their individual needs. Babies explore the world around them and develop their physical skills as they steadily walk up and down the climbing resources. Staff encourage babies to reach out and investigate books and the resources around them.

The provision is good

Toddlers make independent choices as they access different tools and materials. They enjoy messy play and create play dough shapes using their imaginations.

Staff encourage older children to come up with their own ideas and explanations, for example during oral hygiene learning activities. Staff support children's language skills as they encourage children to point to pictures and explain what they see.
