Children attending this nursery are joyful, confident, motivated and excited to learn.

The provision is outstanding

Children are immersed in a language-rich environment where staff consistently introduce new vocabulary. Children investigating a huge lump of clay use a range of tools to explore. They imagine what they might find inside the clay, such as a diamond or an egg. Using a pastry cutter as a scraper, children slice the clay off in strips while staff use gentle reminders about safety and being careful with the tools. Staff invite children to discuss the feel and the smell of the clay, which they describe as 'cold' and 'squishy'.
