Children are welcomed by staff who know them well, and a robust settling-in process helps children feel secure and quickly integrate into routines. The curriculum is broad and ambitious, supporting children in making good progress in their learning.

Activities such as singing welcome songs, self-registering with photographs, and story time for toddlers are examples of how the curriculum is implemented. Older children enjoy outdoor exploration, including playing in the snow with trucks and diggers, which, along with planned sports and games, supports their physical development.

The nursery places importance on teaching children about diversity and fostering good behaviour, with staff modelling expectations and encouraging manners. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported through effective assessment and partnership with parents and external professionals, ensuring individualised targets.

The curriculum also focuses on strengthening large and small muscle skills through varied activities, including babies creating marks with paint and toddlers using tools in sensory play. Communication and language development is strong, with staff using strategies like sign language to help children become confident speakers.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and children in receipt of additional funding are well supported. Staff use assessment effectively and act promptly when they have concerns about children's development. They work in partnership with parents and external professionals and each other to plan and monitor appropriate targets for each child.

Outdoor space

Babies are supported by staff to use their whole body to create marks on large pieces of paper with paint. When outside, older children work hard with their trucks and diggers to collect and move the snow over a ramp. These fun experiences, along with planned sports and games, support aspects of children's physical health and development well.
