The provision is good

Children are happy and settled at this welcoming and friendly nursery. Staff offer children plenty of cuddles and comfort. This helps children to feel safe and secure in their care. Children lead their own play and make choices. For example, older children give each other roles in their games, and younger children freely choose from a wide range of available activities and resources. Staff teach children the importance of sharing and turn taking, offering gentle reminders and demonstrating how to respect each other.

n Managers have high expectations of all staff and are very supportive. There is a strong team feel, and staff are very proud to work at the nursery. Staff can access regular professional development, and new staff are mentored. However, occasionally, staff do not understand the curriculum in the way that leaders have planned. There are times when teaching is not carefully sequenced or pitched at just the right level. For example, staff do not always provide opportunities for toddlers to freely explore in creative play. n All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress from their starting points. Staff ensure they get to know families really well and work with outside agencies to set targets and help each individual child thrive. The experienced special educational needs coordinator helps other staff to understand children's individual needs and how to support

Children wash their hands at important times, including before mealtimes. Children have opportunities to be physically active. For example, they spend lots of time in the garden and take part in regular dance and yoga sessions. However, the organisation of daily routines inside leads to some children being inactive for extended periods of time. This is particularly evident with older children at lunchtime. n Staff invite parents in to talk with them about what children are learning. They regularly share information at handover times about what children have done that day. Children can take home learning bags to further support their learning at home. Parents feel that their children are making good progress, and they value the friendly and professional staff.
