What it's like

Children are busy and active learners, moving confidently around the nursery building, which staff organise well to meet the individual children's needs. Children separate easily from their parents and quickly engage in the learning experiences on offer. Younger children laugh as they explore materials with their hands in the 'messy tray' and persevere as they complete puzzles. Older children enjoy taking part in conversations about their teeth and what foods are not good for their teeth and why.
