“Children show a love of books. Staff considerately place books so that even the youngest babies can reach for them independently. Children show care as they delicately turn the pages. Staff make good use of stories to promote children’s language skills. They cleverly stop reading during familiar stories so that children can recall the end of the sentences. Children shout with delight the words ‘there’s a shark in the park’ when reading their favourite book.”

“Children excitedly enter nursery, eager and ready to learn. They receive a warm welcome from nurturing staff, who know them well. Children quickly settle into the routines of the day.”.

“Staff have high expectations for all children. Children show high levels of respect for adults and their peers. They also learn about empathy and how to care for other creatures. The two nursery rabbits roam freely as the children play in the garden. Children learn how they need to negotiate the space so that it is safe for everyone, including the rabbits”.
