The provision is good

Children show they are happy and confident at the nursery and benefit from the broad range of activities provided. Staff engage with children in their play and provide meaningful interaction to support their thinking and creative development. For example, they talk with children about the shapes and colours they are using in their modelling activity. Children are quick to share their models, describing how they have made them and the reasons for the choices of materials used.

The provision is good

All children demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning and behaviour. Staff set expectations and share rules with children about turn taking and sharing.
