## About this day nursery

The dedicated staff team, which includes individuals with early years teacher status and professional status, focuses on supporting children's emotional understanding and independence. Children are encouraged to discuss feelings through stories and actively participate in physical play in the pre-school garden.

The pre-school prioritises strong parent partnerships, gathering information about children's interests and development to ensure a smooth transition to school. They also offer resources like books for borrowing to support learning at home and effectively utilise additional funding to provide transport for some children, ensuring consistent attendance.

What it's like

Children learn independence skills, such as putting on their coats, and develop physical coordination through various resources like ride-on toys.
