who attend. This is outstanding

Staff demonstrate an excellent understanding of learning and development requirements. They meet children's needs exceptionally well, including those children with additional needs and children learning English as an additional language. Key persons frequently review and update the next steps in children's progress and share these with the staff team. Consequently, all staff make optimal use of children's daily interests to foster new skills. Staff provide parents with stimulating 'home learning bags' which they tailor for babies and children to promote continuity in learning at home. Leaders employ high calibre staff who regularly reflect on their practice to raise the quality of their teaching to higher levels. Babies revel in sensory play as they explore shredded paper, handle a glittering corn flour and water mixture, or brush against freshly mown grass and lavender. Skilled staff help pre-school children plan, do and review their ideas for making islands

Children enjoy lengthy periods playing together in the fresh air, where staff create many different physical challenges and support children's ideas for imaginative play. Babies explore freely as they crawl, pull themselves up and investigate their own safe space. Older friends and siblings stop to chat and offer a new toy as they pass. Interacting with different age groups helps children learn from each other and fosters strong friendships. Toddlers delight in their achievements as they learn to balance, scoot, and jump from tyres, secure and confident in the presence of patient, encouraging staff. Older children demonstrate self-control as they think through new rules for sports day and have fun learning to run to their right or to their left. Staff help children to reflect on how to keep themselves safe and healthy as they take on new challenges and become increasingly independent. Parents kindly bring in their dogs as children learn how to care for pets, but
