Children love coming to nursery and arrive excited to learn in the welcoming environment created by staff.
parents and carers say that children flourish at the setting and they have complete trust in the care and education provided by staff.
They feel that there is incredible attention to detail when children start at the setting and as they transition between rooms.
Inclusion & environment
Staff are ambitious in what they want all children to learn, including children who may need additional support. They observe the children and closely monitor their progress to identify potential gaps in children's learning and experiences.
Children concentrate when exploring the outdoor resources, filling buckets of water and carrying them carefully to an area they call the 'rock pool'. They work together, negotiating and sharing tools willingly, to work out where to put sand to stop water leaking out of the rock pool.
My daughter is so happy here, the staff are lovely and trustworthy, they put a lot of effort into helping the children grow and develop their skills.
