The provision is good

Children quickly settle into this welcoming nursery. Leaders place a high priority on robust settling-in arrangements, to support the needs of different families. Staff demonstrate a strong commitment to supporting children's happiness and well- being. They greet every child warmly as they arrive. Staff take the time to speak to parents and carers to find out about children's current needs. Babies show much affection for staff, especially for their key person. Older children become increasingly independent and confident over time. However, they know staff are always on hand if they need a cuddle or some reassurance.

Staff promote children's social development successfully. They encourage children to share their thoughts and ideas as they play with them. Children learn to express themselves confidently and listen to others. They behave well and show much cooperation as they play together. Staff teach children the key skills that help them to make friends, such as the importance of turn taking and sharing resources with others. Older children are very proud when it is their turn to be the lunchtime monitor. They thoroughly enjoy being responsible for laying the tables with plates and cutlery, and checking there are enough places for all children.
