Staff respond well to children's needs and emotions, offering cuddles when children are upset. As a result, children settle quickly."

Key strengths

  • Children are confident, inquisitive learners.

  • Partnerships with parents are effective.
  • Leaders talk passionately about the improvements they have already made to the nursery and the extra learning opportunities offered to children as a result.

Areas for improvement
