The provision is good

The motto of 'play, learn and shine' is truly embedded across this special setting. Staff greet children with smiles on their faces as they arrive each morning. Children engage in meaningful conversations with staff. They cannot contain their excitement to tell staff about the learning that they have done at home. A strong sense of togetherness pervades this nurturing setting. Children's laughter and eagerness to explore is truly palpable. Staff morale is high. They work together to create a home-from-home environment, where children can thrive. Staff are good role models. They provide children with clear expectations for their behaviour. Children know what is expected of them and show excellent behaviour. They are kind and courteous towards others. Children develop positive friendships and regularly embrace their friends with hugs.

The provision is good

Staff provide children with an ambitious curriculum. For example, they provide magnifying glasses for children to look at the granular detail of sand. Children enjoy these experiences and show good communication skills while they describe the texture and appearance of sand. Staff promote children's individuality and creativity exceptionally well. Children relish dancing, singing and enacting the roles of princesses. Staff encourage children to immerse themselves into deep imagination. Children pretend to be chefs and use dough to make pretend cakes for their friends. Staff encourage children to develop their independence from a young age. For instance, children learn how to tend to their own physical needs and are keen to help to tidy toys away. Children develop the necessary skills in readiness for their next steps in learning, including their move on to school.
