who attend. This is outstanding

The well-qualified staff team has an excellent understanding of how children learn. This helps them plan a rich variety of challenging learning experiences, which promote children's outstanding progress. For example, they skilfully help babies to experiment using their senses to play with resources such as baked beans, sand and water. Although staff do not always seize all opportunities to encourage babies' babbling sounds and to experiment with words. Toddlers dress up and play in the fire engine, and older children develop strong physical skills when they swing on ropes in the wildlife area. Children investigate and experiment during enticing activities, which help them develop key social skills. They learn to ask and answer questions, develop very good counting skills and play team games. As a result, they are very well prepared for the next stage in their learning and for moving on to school. Staff know the children very well and their assessments of

All staff have an excellent understanding of their responsibility to safeguard children. Very strong relationships and care practices mean that children thrive in a safe and cosy environment. Babies become confident, and smile and wave goodbye cheerily. Those who need time to settle receive undivided attention and, as a result, soon enjoy playing with toys and being with others. Staff in the toddler room play alongside the children and teach them about sharing. Older children have high self-esteem, and confidently chat about healthy foods and the importance of hygiene routines. They enjoy a joke and show that they trust staff. Children show increasing confidence and are beginning to think carefully about their actions.

Photographs, records, assessment checks and the analysis of data ensure that children's learning needs are recognised and quickly met. The setting's accurate and incisive self-evaluation is outstanding and parents are valued as equal partners in making the best possible provision for children.
