Parents are highly complementary about the nursery. Staff support children's communication and language skills well. They use sign language to help children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities.

Children who speak English as an additional language are very well supported to learn good English. Staff support parents with useful information to enabl...e parents to extend children's learning at home. In addition to this, staff work with other professionals to ensure children receive appropriate support in their learning and development.

Children form strong bonds and attachments with staff and other children. Staff support their personal, social and emotional development with effective praise and encouragement. Children are happy and settled and develop strong friendships.

Children thoroughly enjoy exploring their surroundings, particularly the vibrant outdoor area, where staff plan activities to help children learn about the world around them. It is not yet outstanding because: Staff do not always organise planned group activities well enough, so that all children are challenged appropriately, according to their stages of development.
