Activities: Staff provide appealing and exciting activities, that children are extremely keen to take part in.

Welcoming and Professional Staff: Children are confident and play happily, showing that they feel safe and at ease in nursery. Staff know children well and understand what they want them to learn.
Safeguarding Training: Managers ensure that staff understand their responsibilities to protect children, for example, through regular training and sharing information during meetings.
Play and Learning Integration: Children's highly positive attitudes and eagerness to learn mean they benefit extremely well from staff's good quality teaching.
Transition to Primary School: Key-person arrangements support children well. Key staff are allocated to care for children according to who naturally develops a relationship with them. This helps children to feel safe and secure.

Child Safety Management: Staff carry out regular checks on the premises and equipment to keep children safe in nursery.
Children's Safety and Security: Children are confident and play happily, showing that they feel safe and at ease in nursery.
