Registered with Ofsted on 28 August 2024, it operates as a childcare on non-domestic premises, catering to children aged 1 to 5 years old, with a total capacity for 47 places. The day nursery is recognised for providing a warm welcome to children and families, fostering positive relationships with staff, and supporting children to settle into routines. While the inspection notes children develop some knowledge and skills, and participate enthusiastically in activities such as mark-making and outdoor games, it also highlights areas for development in curriculum implementation and supporting individual learning progression. Leaders ensure safeguarding standards are met, establishing an open culture where concerns are actively identified and managed, contributing to children feeling safe. The setting also promotes healthy habits through physically active outdoor play and good hygiene practices. Our ethos Children's years are the best and most memorable years of one's lives, so therefore we want children to achieve the best childcare that targets each child's needs. We will administer genuine concern and encouragement for each child in our care. We believe in doing what we say and saying what we do. What it's like Children experience variation in the quality of teaching and learning across the setting because the curriculum is not sufficiently developed or implemented effectively. Children of different ages often access similar learning experiences. As a result, learning does not routinely build on what children already know and can do or reflect their differing stages of development. Children approaching the next stage of their education do not consistently access experiences that reflect their age, stage of development and the knowledge and skills they need for the next school year. Children and families receive a warm welcome. Children attend regularly, arrive happily and develop warm relationships with staff who know them well. They settle into familiar routines and are confident to seek support and reassurance from staff. Children enjoy a range of activities and experiences throughout the day and engage positively in play. Children who face barriers to their learning are welcomed and included in the life of the setting. Staff take some positive steps to support their participation alongside their peers. Some support is not implemented effectively, and children do not always receive experiences that are adapted closely enough to meet their individual needs. As a result, some children who face barriers to learning do not consistently benefit from the support needed to help them make the best possible progress. Children develop some of the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for their next stage of learning. They are developing confidence and are beginning to form friendships with others. Opportunities for children to build knowledge and skills progressively over time are not sufficiently developed. Children are not always supported to deepen their understanding of emotions or manage their behaviour through a clearly planned approach. This means that children are not well supported to develop the skills needed to understand and manage their behaviour independently. Safeguarding met Warm welcome Positive relationships ## Pricing & funding Fees are structured by age bands for children aged 0 to 3 years and 3 to 5 years, with distinct rates for full and half days.
