The provision is good

Building strong relationships is at the heart of this nursery and their curriculum. Staff feel supported personally and professionally.

The provision is good

Staff work effectively with other professionals to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders and staff thoughtfully plan an ambitious curriculum that supports children's development across all areas of learning. All children make good progress from their starting points. Children demonstrate positive attitudes to learning and respond well to staffs' consistent expectations. Staff teach children how to share and play alongside their friends. They encourage children to express their needs and make their own choices. For example, children can freely move between the indoors and outdoors throughout the day. Staff know children well and help them to learn new skills while encouraging their independence.

Which means children are not learning about the impact it may have on themselves or others. n Leaders and staff keep parents well informed about their children's time at the nursery.
