Welcoming and Professional Staff: Staff know children well; they use their knowledge of the children's interests and learning needs to plan activities that children are eager to engage in.
Safeguarding Training: There is an open and positive culture around safeguarding that puts children's interests first.
Play and Learning Integration: Staff provide opportunities for children of all ages to develop their creative skills. Babies explore the texture of mud with their hands and paint brushes.
