Staff plan highly effective activities that take into account children's views and interests and successfully cover all areas of learning to meet children's learning needs precisely. Staff assess children's progress thoroughly and expertly use this information to accurately determine children's next steps for learning. As a result, children make exceptional progress. Staff use every opportunity to promote children's mathematical language, for example, younger children learn to count the number of their jumps on a mini trampoline. Staff provide excellent small group activities that promote children's language and understanding of taking turns. For example, staff use props during a 'what's in the box?' activity. However, they do not always build on opportunities for children to explore their imaginations and growing interests. Excellent partnership between staff and parents ensures that they work together consistently to meet children's individual needs very

Children behave exceptionally well due to the outstanding support they receive from staff. This enables them to learn to play cooperatively and share with their friends, which creates an extremely positive and caring environment. Staff encourage children's independence and self-help skills extremely well. As a result, children attempt to dress to go out in the garden and tend to their own personal care needs exceptionally well. Staff prioritise children's safety and good health very well. They teach them about keeping safe through the highly successful outdoor learning projects. For example, before going to their forest school camp, the children and staff talk through the rules to ensure children understand expectations for safe play. Children benefit from balanced and healthy meals. Partnership with parents is a high priority. This enables children to settle into the nursery quickly. Staff work very well with other settings and schools to share information to

provision is outstanding

Exceptional management systems help to secure excellent outcomes for children. Management completes regular staff supervision that focuses on constantly improving staff teaching to benefit children's learning, for example, learning outdoors. The management and staff routinely and very effectively review children's development to secure their outstanding progress. Through partnerships with other professionals, they significantly support children whose progress is less than expected to reach their full potential. There is a highly robust recruitment process, which ensures the quality and suitability of all staff.
