What it's like

Staff welcome children and their families on arrival and sensitively support those new to the setting, helping them feel safe and secure. Leaders and staff plan an effective curriculum for all children, focusing on their prime areas of development to underpin their learning. Recent changes to the room layout have benefited children, allowing older children to better listen and concentrate without distraction.
