The provision is good

Children arrive happy to learn at this warm and inviting nursery. Staff and leaders get to know families well and quickly establish what impacts a child's day. Staff talk and interact with children positively and know children well. Children build strong bonds with staff. Staff listen when children talk and extend their conversations. This helps children to have a sense of belonging in the nursery and have the confidence to engage in learning. Children play cooperatively together. For example, when they jump on the stepping stones in the garden, they understand they have to wait for their turn to keep them safe. When children display any unwanted behaviour, staff quickly resolve issues through discussions about children's feelings and emotions. This helps children to understand the impact of their actions and have a good attitude to their learning.

The provision is good

Leaders and staff create an environment that promotes children's engagement in and enthusiasm for learning. The curriculum supports children's individual needs and ensures that every child, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, reaches their full potential. For example, in the garden, children love to explore growth and nature. They look for leaves and compare sizes and colours, noticing how the weather creates changes in nature. Staff use lots of different vocabulary as children share their findings and teach children new language.
