The provision is good

Children are excited and eager to be in nursery. They separate well from their parents. Staff greet children warmly and are keen to hear about their adventures outside of nursery. This makes children feel welcome and valued. Activities are attractively displayed and capture children's attention. Staff know the children well and plan an ambitious curriculum that stimulates, challenges and supports their future learning. Children have many opportunities to be physically active. Older children work in partnership, taking it in turns to pump water around a large tube until it eventually cascades down a maze of drainpipes. Younger children use large apparatus with confidence. They climb steps and take time to carefully sit down before moving down the slide, repeating the action again and again. Staff support children's emerging language and communication skills well. They introduce new words and encourage children to share what they have been doing in nursery.
