• Parents are extremely complimentary about the warm, caring, family atmosphere the staff have created. They say staff provide good advice on how t...hey can continue their children's learning. For example, the regular newsletters include ideas linked to nursery topics, and older children chose from activity packs to complete with parents at home.

• Children are highly inquisitive, confident and talkative. They demonstrate a very positive attitude towards learning. Babies explore their play area confidently, demonstrating their early walking and communication skills.

• Older children develop their creativity as they design and build models. They use their thinking skills effectively to solve problems, such as how to create a bridge that is high enough for the toys trucks to pass under. • Staff provide consistent praise and excellent support to ensure that children develop extremely high levels of independence and self-esteem.
