What it's like

Children are very happy and settled at this welcoming setting. They show that they feel safe and secure as they make choices about their play and interact positively with others. Children form affectionate relationships with the kind and attentive staff. Therefore, they are confident to share a joke or to seek a reassuring cuddle when needed. Children respond positively to staff's high expectations. They play happily together and develop secure friendships with their peers. Older children demonstrate an awareness of the nursery's 'golden rules', such as 'good listening' during their group activities and being kind to others. They display positive attitudes to learning and concentrate well on the things that interest them. For example, children show creativity and attention to detail as they draw self-portraits using crayons. Children's learning is enhanced considerably by the opportunities for outdoor play. The large garden is used all year round, to help children develop their curiosity and love of learning. Children have excellent opportunities to explore, discover and take risks in a safe environment. They develop superb physical strength and coordination. For example, children confidently carry large crates up a ladder to their playhouse. They demonstrate their active imaginations and good language skills as they explain that they are creating 'sun chairs' to sell in their pretend bed shop.
