What is it like to attend this early years setting?

The provision is good

Children flourish at this inclusive setting.

Leaders and staff show incredible warmth towards children, which promotes children's well-being and helps them to feel secure. The key-person system is well embedded, which means that staff know their individual children well. Staff provide a rich and nurturing environment where children are happy, confident and inquisitive learners.

Children arrive eager and become quickly immersed in play. They relish their time outdoors as they explore the exciting spaces that make up a variety of woodland areas that challenge their physical skills. The youngest children love painting the...ir hands, creating a unique piece of art, which they eagerly show staff.

Inside, children develop an understanding of mathematical concepts as they measure ingredients and add a range of colours to make marbled play dough. They build tall structures that represent the Eiffel Tower and learn concepts such as 'wider' and 'taller'.Children behave very well.

They cooperate with their peers and know what is expected of them. Staff are excellent role models. They offer praise and encouragement to all children, which gives children confidence to have a go at different activities.
