The nursery's latest registration inspection report commended staff for providing a good balance between free play and more adult-directed pursuits. The children were found to be highly motivated and concentrated well on their chosen activities.
The report said, 'Staff encouraged children's self-confidence and self-esteem and used praise very well to motivate them. Children were making friends and co-operated well with each other during play.'
