Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: This setting provides a happy, natural, and nurturing environment. It has free-flowing access to the rooftop garden which is safe and suitable for young children.
Activities: Children go straight over to the duck eggs in their room, excited to see that the first duckling has hatched. They show their parents, and staff discuss with the children what has happened.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff are extremely effective in supporting children to investigate activities and become critical thinkers. Younger children explore spinning toys, smiling and becoming excited as they move faster. The older children continue their learning of the human body.

Communication: The manager and her team have excellent partnerships with parents. Highly effective settling-in processes allow all children to develop their confidence. Parents are incredibly happy with the progress their children make while at the setting.

The setting promotes home learning effectively. For instance, children take sunflower seeds home to plant to join in the growing competition.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Babies separate from their parents with ease to their key persons. This relationship is very strong and supports children to feel safe in their environment. The older children arrive and immediately become immersed in play, seeking out their friends.

Play and Learning Integration: Younger children explore spinning toys. They try different ways to get the spinners to move, smiling and becoming excited as they move faster. The older children continue their learning of the human body by creating self-portraits using natural materials.
Transition to Primary School: Staff's ability to differentiate their language to support individual children is outstanding. All children make rapid progress in their language development.
Diversity Management: Staff continuously narrate activities, introducing new words and encouraging children's listening skills. In the garden, older children explore shape puzzles, allowing time to foster cognitive skills.
