Established in 2020, the setting prides itself on its personalised approach to learning, with staff communicating effectively with parents about their child's needs and achievements. Children are encouraged to develop their independence through activities like self-service at mealtimes, which has led to improvements in eating habits for some. The nursery offers a stimulating indoor environment with attractive, accessible, and diverse resources that reflect the children's cultural identities and interests. Outdoors, children are encouraged to develop their gross motor skills. The curriculum is built around the interests, needs, and cultural experiences of the children, ensuring good progress. Leaders ensure that staff members receive regular and personalised training, contributing to the high quality of education. The nursery also builds strong, early connections with families, allowing very young children to remain until they are ready for school. What it's like Children show that they feel safe and are happy at this setting, as they settle well on arrival. They build positive relationships with their key persons and staff who work collaboratively to ensure children feel safe and secure.
