What it's like

Children are happy and secure. They learn to be competent at cutting their own snack and opening lids, benefiting from staff encouragement. This helps promote positive attitudes to learning, self-assurance, and confidence. Staff set high expectations for children's physical development, emotional skills such as sharing, and teach appropriate behaviour.
