Here are some comments from our most recent Ofsted inspection report.

• In the baby room, children enjoy exploring different textures through whole body experiences. When playing with a large tray of ice cubes, children climb inside, feeling the cold sensation with their feet and jumping and splashing in the melted, icy water. This brings learning alive for children and they squeal with delight as they play.
  
  
• Staff know children well and understand how to support their good progress. They seek immediate support from outside professionals if they have any concerns about children's development. There are comprehensive plans in place to support children with SEND.
  
  
• Small-group activities are effective in supporting children's communication and language development. Children who speak English as an additional language join with their peers who are more confident talkers. Together, they listen to stories and asks questions. Staff manage this well. In the baby room, staff expand on babies' vocabulary by introducing them to new words. Babies approach adults and babble enthusiastically. This shows their good motivation to want to initiate talk and conversation.
  
  
• Staff are kind and attentive to children. When babies wake from their sleep, staff are calm, gentle and sensitive in their interactions. Staff understand children need to time before they feel ready to play when they wake up.
  
  
• Children learn about each other's home lives and talk about the people who are important to them. Staff understand the benefit of encouraging children to enjoy different experiences to learn about the world around them and the different people who live in it.
  
  
• Staff get to know children well and key-person relationships are strong. The manager carries out visits to children's homes before they start at the nursery. This helps staff and parents to exchange information to help children to settle. When children have medical needs or a health condition, staff are clear about how to support them.
