They know the children and families well and create good bonds with them. For example, children enjoy cuddles when they need reassurance, and practitioners use what they know about children to ensure their needs are met. Children are confident and have high levels of self-esteem. They demonstrate that they are keen and eager to learn. The manager focuses the curriculum on promoting children's positive attitudes to learning and ensures that learning opportunities are exciting and engaging. Staff take into account children's individual interests and developing needs when implementing the curriculum. The play environment is well organised and carefully considers children's interests, which helps children make the progress of which they are capable.
Practitioners are polite and respectful to the children. They are good role models. This leads to the children being polite and respectful. Children are reminded about their manners, when required. Practitioners support children to learn skills for the future, such as to be independent with their self-care skills. Older children take ownership of their belongings.

The manager and practitioners work closely with external agencies to seek support and advice for children who need extra support. Practitioners monitor children's learning closely, and when they identify any gaps, they use the knowledge they already have to support children. Management makes timely referrals and liaises with parents to ensure that children receive the support they need to help them make the best possible progress.

Report Summary
Children arrive happy at this warm and friendly nursery. They put their arms out to welcome cuddles from staff and separate from their parents with ease, showing that they feel safe to leave them. Children settle quickly in their room and are keen to get involved in their play and learning from the outset. Parents appreciate the positive impact staff have on children's developing confidence and social skills. For example, children are helped to build strong bonds with the experienced staff and settle well in the environment. They learn to work independently and in groups to build lasting friendships.
Children benefit from a curriculum that exposes them to new and exciting learning experiences. The manager and staff reflect on children's interests and next steps in learning when planning activities. They consider how resources can be used differently to meet the individual needs of the children accessing them. For instance, children develop their memory, concentration and vocabulary as they try to identify pictures and items from a book being shared with them. Staff are attentive to the needs of all the children they care for. They show respect, listen to what children say and provide gentle reminders and explanations to help young children manage their emotions and feelings. Children show respect for others and take turns in play.
