What it's like

Children thoroughly enjoy their time in this safe and homely environment. They develop effective relationships with children and staff. They greet staff with enthusiasm as they arrive. Younger children can be heard shouting the name of their key person as they arrive in the morning. Babies are delighted when they discover that their key person has returned after time off. Children settle quickly and benefit from well-thought-out settling-in procedures to help them to become familiar with the routines and expectations.
