A warm and nurturing environment forms the foundation of this childcare setting, where children's development and well-being are prioritized. Well-planned learning opportunities based on individual interests support good progress, while children demonstrate high levels of independence in activities and routines. Strong relationships with parents are highlighted, with families appreciating the nurturing care provided. The inspection identified one area for improvement: supporting children to better understand and manage their emotions during moments of frustration.
