It was established in 2023. The nursery provides a small, homely environment where children eagerly explore and confidently show off photographs of their family pets. The provider has successfully addressed safeguarding concerns raised in a previous inspection. Leaders have implemented some areas of the curriculum effectively, such as promoting independence; children are encouraged to put on their own shoes and coats, pour their own drinks, and even cut up their own food. This approach helps children develop confidence in their abilities. While an ambitious curriculum has been designed, recent staffing changes have meant that the vision for children's learning is not yet fully embedded, leading to inconsistencies in curriculum delivery and staff practice. Leaders are supporting staff, but their checks on staff's work with children are in their early stages, impacting children's progress. Outside, children are provided with daily fresh air and physical play. Staff engage alongside children, encouraging imagination during activities like climbing the slide. The inspector noted children giggling as they 'go on an adventure to the zoo', pretending to start an engine and waddling like a penguin. The nursery provides access to a wide range of books to enhance learning, with some staff reading aloud in an engaging way. Staff also skilfully identify and provide spontaneous learning opportunities, such as counting balls posted down pipes and applying these counting skills to set placemats at lunchtime. What it's like The provider has addressed safeguarding concerns from the previous inspection. However, due to recent staffing changes, leaders have not fully embedded their ambitious curriculum, leading to inconsistencies in curriculum delivery and staff practice.
