who attend. This is outstanding

Highly skilled staff consistently use outstanding teaching strategies to empower children to follow their interests as they play and explore. For example, when taking part in a sensory activity indoors, children say it reminds them of the 'mud' in a particular story they like. Staff skilfully extend learning as they support children to role play the story outside, using the book to promote language and literacy. Staff ask open-ended questions, challenge thinking and model language. For example, when children want to make mud, staff say 'I wonder how you would make the mud?' Children are confident, animated and actively contribute their ideas as they mix soil from the mud kitchen with water from the hose pipe. Staff ask 'What happens next?', as children enthusiastically turn the pages in the book. Children continue to pretend to be characters in the story and develop their physical skills as they climb, balance and explore the exciting, challenging outdoor environment.

outstanding

Staff have a warm, friendly manner; actively seeking to find out about children's interests and needs from parents. Children demonstrate exceptionally strong, positive relationships with all staff. Children are exceptionally confident and are developing excellent self-care and independence skills. For example, during lunchtime, babies are learning to wash and dry their hands themselves as they wait for their food. However, some become restless and upset due to the long period of time this takes. Staff are excellent role models as they demonstrate how to share and take turns, and use positive language. Toddlers are learning about routines and boundaries as they take turns to self-serve from a choice of healthy, home-cooked meals using the utensils provided. Staff involve children in discussions about healthy food as they help themselves to vegetables. Children are learning about healthy lifestyles, and their health and well-being is extremely well

provision is outstanding

There is a purposeful, effective key-person system in place; which supports children's emotional well-being extremely well through times of transition. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are extremely well supported due to highly effective partnerships with specialist services, parents and schools. Staff are highly motivated and are provided with regular opportunities to reflect on and share good practice, for example, through peer observations and use of reflective journals. Staff use these opportunities to assess the quality of their practice against a recognised quality framework. Highly effective processes for recruiting staff, regular supervision, checking staff performance and identifying training needs lead to a high level of consistent quality practice. Meticulous analysis of information relating to monitoring and tracking of children's progress enables managers to focus on any gaps in areas of learning, and put robust action plans in place.
