Planning is highly effective in meeting the needs of individual children, and staff are extremely adept at recognising and following children’s interests.
- The nursery is warm and welcoming with a very wide range of stimulating and interesting resources, indoors and outdoors, that children can choose for themselves. This helps promote their independence skills exceptionally well.
- The settling-in process and key-person system are highly successful in meeting children’s needs and this helps them to settle quickly so they can begin learning.
