The provision is good
The provision is goodChildren’s knowledge and understanding about the world around them is developed to a high level. They have frequent opportunities to visit the local area and experience multicultural activities. For example, they attend Eid parties, visit the local swimming pool and support the nearby community centre. Staff have high expectations, which help children to behave very well. Young children thrive on the caring interactions that take place and feel safe in the environment. Babies squeal with delight as they explore bubbles in a water tray. They giggle gleefully when they pull their socks off and play chasing games. Children’s build their language skills through back-and-forth conversations with staff. They frequently talk to the children about past events and experiences, which develops their communication skills.
Children that are new to the nursery are warmly welcomed in. They are sensitively supported to manage their emotions and settle in quickly. Staff ensure children have the skills they need to be ready for school. Children follow instructions and listen carefully. They spend extended periods of time concentrating on activities and their independence skills are progressively developed to a high level. The environment is vibrant and supports a curriculum that is, generally, well thought out and ambitious.
