who attend. This is outstanding

The quality of teaching throughout this nursery is exceptional. Children are motivated and enthusiastic to learn because staff make learning fun. An interesting range of purposeful and challenging activities engage and motivate them. Children confidently sing, tell stories and explore textures as part of the story telling. Resources are used to challenge their physical skills, and staff adapt and plan the environment to match children's current interests and developmental needs. Children's literacy skills develop well. Children begin to recognise and write the letters of their names. Excellent quality fiction books are easily accessible, although factual books are not so prominent to support children's interests. Staff expertly prepare children for the next stage of their education by ensuring they have an inquisitive nature, confidence and the social skills to enjoy new opportunities.

Staff develop exceptionally positive relationships with parents. Parents are encouraged to play an active role in working in partnership with staff to support their children's learning. The valuable information they share helps staff to thoroughly understand and meet children's individual needs. As a result, children's experiences are positive and well planned. Children behave exceptionally well and respond positively to the routines which help them feel secure within the nursery. For example, in each room children expertly help to tidy away the resources in preparation for snack, lunch or group activities. Staff are excellent role models. They show great enthusiasm but are also calm and patient in their interactions. Children's physical well-being is promoted very effectively throughout the nursery. Babies and toddlers enjoy safe and comfortable rest times that enable them to be refreshed and happy to participate in all that is on offer. Children enjoy a nutritious and

The knowledgeable staff assess children's skills to an expert standard and make appropriate plans for their next steps in learning. Highly effective systems for monitoring planning and assessment mean that an accurate overall picture of all children's progress is maintained. Excellent use is made of a wide range of training opportunities. Consequently, staff implement new ideas and practices effectively, cascading knowledge to staff and parents.
